FALL ARTS FESTIVAL, Jackson Hole News&Guide, Wednesday, September 9, 2015 - 3A

Welcome to the 2015 Fall Arts Festival By Richard Anderson

he arts have been an important part of life in Jackson Hole for a long time, but in recent years they have become nearly omnipresent. Summers are full of free concerts, gallery openings and outdoor gatherings that more and more often integrate art activities for kids and adults. Public art installations are on their way to becoming common in downtown Jackson. And more and more artists are even making a living off their creative pursuits. According to a 2010 study performed by the nonprofit Americans for the Arts, the arts support the equivalent of more than 1,000 full-time jobs in Teton County and generate more than $49 million in economic activity — remarkable numbers for a county that, in 2010, had a bit more than 21,000 residents. That’s 4.75 percent of Teton County’s population employed by the arts compared with the national figure of 1.34 percent, according to the Arts and Economic Prosperity report. We appreciate the arts here, acknowledge their importance in our children’s education, partake of them regularly, even discuss, debate and argue about them. And yet, even with that daily consumption and daily appreciation, Jackson Hole goes the extra mile every year and throws a 10-day festival honoring art and artists. The Fall Arts Festival, which will be celebrated for the 31st year in a row from Sept. 9 through Sept. 20, brings hundreds of visitors to the valley and gets residents — many of whom undoubtedly have been too busy through the summer to look much beyond their own storefronts — out and about to socialize over fine art. The festival represents an impressive effort

by organizers, which include the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce and the ever-growing community of gallery owners around town, and the public’s response is equally impressive. The Jackson Hole News&Guide gets in on the celebration with its Fall Arts Festival special supplement, which this year contains a whopping 96 pages of editorial and advertising. Divided into

six sections, this year’s supplement covers all the favorite Fall Arts events — including the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, Taste of the Tetons, the Art Association’s Takin’ It to the Streets art fair and the 20th annual Quick Draw — and profiles the dozens of galleries participating and highlights some of their guests this year. It also examines some issues and trends in the arts, in-

cluding an update on public art and a piece on alternative mediums. In addition to offering a guide to all the parties, openings, demonstrations and other such events of the Fall Arts Festival, this section is this community’s newspaper’s attempt to pay fitting tribute to the arts and the role they play in making Jackson Hole the extraordinary place it is.

he Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, the kickoff event of the annual Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, pairs more than 30 art galleries around Town Square and the vicinity with restaurants and caterers. The galleries get to show off their featured festival artists, while the restaurants and caterers get to show off their culinary arts. The perfect pairing for a night celebrating art and food while bringing together artists and art lovers, the event is organized by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. Running 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, the gallery walk is open to one and all. Look for balloons tied outside participating galleries, or grab a list of participants from the chamber. Admission to most galleries is free. “People can expect to see some amazing art, try some great food and wine, and have some good conversations,” said Renee Leone, events coordinator for the chamber. “The event really brings it back to the galleries, which is how the Fall Arts Festival came about: to support the galleries and the future of the galleries.” The event also lets each gallery add a culinary component by working with a restaurant that reflects its style or taste.

Food and Art Lovers Unite Here’s a preliminary Palates and Palettes list from the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. It may change, so stop by the chamber for the final list of restaurant and gallery pairings. Altamira Fine Art — The Indian Art Association of Jackson Hole — The Rose Astoria Fine Art — Ice cream social Asymbol Gallery — The Rose and the Q Brookover Gallery — Four Seasons and Amangani ($5) Cayuse Western Americana — Privately catered Diehl Gallery — Hatch Grand Teton Gallery — Privately catered Heather James Fine Art — The Indian Hennes Studio / Lila Lou’s — Privately catered Horizon Fine Art — Privately catered Intencions — Privately catered For Rare Gallery of Fine Art, Palates and Palettes is an opportunity to showcase fine dining that complements its style of contemporary Western art. The gallery’s partner is the Snake River Grill. “Pairing with Snake River Grill is the perfect match for us,” said Hollee Armstrong, who owns Rare with her husband Rick. “They are an incredible restaurant with innovative food design. “I feel like their food is art. It is fun to pair their inventive take on food design with our take on art.” Other Jackson favorites such as the Rose, Nani’s, the Bunnery and others will set up in other downtown galleries. Expect a few new food names to come into the mix as well, such as Jackson’s new food truck Nom Nom Doughnuts.

Legacy Gallery — Rendezvous Bistro Made — Nom Nom Doughnuts Mangelsen Images of Nature — Nikai Mountain Trails Gallery — Local National Museum of Wildlife Art — Rising Sage Cafe Rare Gallery — Snake River Grill Tayloe Piggott Gallery — Pinky G’s Trailside Galleries — Cowboy Steakhouse Trio Fine Art — Nani’s Turpin Gallery — Moo’s Two Grey Hills Art and Jewelry — North Grille West Lives On Gallery — The Wort Wilcox Gallery — The Bunnery Wild by Nature — Nani’s Wild Hands — Privately catered WRJ Design — Persephone Bakery Melissa Mattson, the woman behind the specialty doughnut truck seen at farmers markets and other events, will be at the all-American-crafted artisan shop Made serving her sweet treats. “In the past, we have partnered with great Jackson restaurants like Trio and Persephone,” Made owner John Frechette said. “But this year we wanted to do something a little different. “Melissa has already made a big splash in town,” he said, “and we are excited to do something a little unconventional.” Whether you’re looking to sample some of Wyoming’s finest fare, sip a glass of wine while perusing a favorite artist’s latest works, explore new galleries or mingle during a festive evening around town, Palates and Palettes is just the ticket.

ample the community’s visual art and culinary art during two events that have become favorites during the first weekend of the Fall Arts Festival. Taste of the Tetons and Takin’ It to the Streets both take place Sept. 13. Taste of the Tetons features local chefs offering small specialty plates, and Takin’ It to the Street brings Teton-area artists to Town Square to show off their work. Pickin’ in the Park samples Jackson Hole’s musical talent, courtesy of the Chamber of Commerce’s hospitality group Howdy Partners. And the Rotary Supper Club’s Fall Arts Festival Wine Tasting and Silent Auction (see page 13A) helps to circle the Town Square. “Taste of the Tetons is one of the Fall Arts Festival events that features the culinary arts in our valley,” said Maureen Murphy, director of special events at the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce. “From park concessions to the village to the town, numerous restaurants participate,” Murphy said, “and it is a great way to showcase what each has to offer. “With Rotary Supper Club’s Wine Tasting and Takin’ it to the Streets co-

inciding at the same time, it gives the attendee a full experience within an event,” she said. Taste of the Tetons patrons buy $1 tickets to try dishes from dozens of valley chefs. Tastes typically cost two to four tickets. The event usually boasts around 20 restaurants. Mainstays such as the Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse, the Spur, the Silver Dollar Bar and Grill, and the Snake River Grill will be represented. New restaurants Figs and Gather will be at the fes-

tival for the first time. “We are excited for new faces,” Murphy said. Taste of the Tetons is adding a “People’s Choice” element this year, she said. It will be up to the tasters to pick their favorites in a few categories: best taste, best presentation and most original. “There really is something for everyone to do,” Murphy said. “Taste amazing dishes, taste some wonderful wines, peruse the wares of local artists and take in

some amazing entertainment in the Town Square to make a full afternoon out of it.” Takin’ It to the Streets is an open-air, juried art fair featuring works of Jackson Hole artists. It is hosted by the nonprofit Art Association of Jackson Hole. Sixteen years ago Teton artists approached the Art Association about organizing a locals-only art bazaar. Today 40 featured artists from Jackson and the surrounding area display their wares. Padgett Hoke will sell her Jacksoninspired jewelry, Christie Quinn will have a booth full of her fragrant candles, and Walt Gerald will display his hip graphic prints. “Street-goers will have an opportunity to purchase artwork in categories such as jewelry, painting, mixed media, glass, ceramics, fiber and wearables, and much more,” said Elisse May, events director of the Art Association. “Many of the artists can’t be found in a gallery or storefront, so it’s a great opportunity to find unique pieces for your collection or to give as gifts.” The Art Association hosts its event annually to raise funds to continue its efforts to support artists and the visual arts in the community, she said. Combined with the other events “the day celebrates the rich talent in our community and provides a great atmosphere,” May said. Murphy agrees. “The Fall Arts Festival is one of the most exciting times of the year,” she said. “There is just a positive exciting vibe throughout the community.”

Fox’s “One Such Structure” is an oil on canvas measuring 16 by 16 inches.

aty Fox attended art school in San Francisco. During her time there she painted colorful buildings and focused on representing the human form. When she moved to Jackson in 2012 she felt at home. The valley situated below the Teton mountains provided the scenery she always wanted to paint. In fact, it allowed her to practice one of her favorite pastimes: plein air painting. Fox will demonstrate her style of painting outdoors at the Grand Teton Association’s final Artist in the Environment event from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday, Sept. 12, at the Cunningham Cabin in Grand Teton National Park. Located about a dozen miles north of Moose on Highway 89, the log structure built by John and Margaret Cunningham dates to 1888. “There’s so much more information in front of you when you’re plein air painting,” Fox said, “but the information you have continually changes, so it’s a real challenge.” Fox is excited to look at Cunningham Cabin’s surroundings and to put what she sees on canvas. She said the area brings

“We are never going to be as good as nature,” she said. “Nature is so humbling and beautiful. It’s fun to make nature’s textures and shapes and to transfer 3-dimensional to 2-dimensional.” Fox likes to manipulate what nature offers with her paintbrush. “I try to get crisp lines,” she said. “I think it’s fun to try to figure out where to put a straight line in nature, because you know that it is never actually there.” The Grand Teton Association, a nonprofit that raises funds and organizes events on behalf of Grand Teton National Park, puts on Artists in the Environment through the summer months each year. The association will also host a final Writers in the Park event from 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 12, with author writer Susan Marsh, and Photographers in the Park from 7 to 10 a.m., with Henry Holdsworth of Wild By Nature Gallery. Writers will gather at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose; photographers will gather with Holdsworth at Schwabacher Landing on the Snake River.

back a fond memory from her early days in Jackson Hole. “When I first moved to Jackson I was so convinced I had discovered a new world, even though there is already a civilization here,” she said. Fox and a friend explored the land where the cabin sits, feeling as if they had found a hidden treasure. “We went and poked around the Tetons, and we went and explored the area near Cunningham Cabin,” she said. When putting brush to canvas Fox uses a light palette. She likes to add one layer of paint, wipe it away and then brush on another layer. She prefers to use lighter, less saturated colors because she feels it reflects her outlook on life.

“Painting is creating an emotion,” she said, “and I generally try to go with the lighter stuff, because that is what I want to be surrounded by and that’s how I see the world. I’m an optimist. You can tell that from my color palette.” Fox’s optimism allows her to enjoy life’s spur-of-the-moment opportunities. Some of her favorite paintings are of scenery she saw while driving and she felt compelled to pull over, grab her easel, paints and a canvas, and start creating. She feels nature is one of the most inviting subject matters. For her it’s a magnet. Perhaps that’s why she can’t help but stop when she sees a dilapidated building overtaken by trees and grass, or a grove of trees standing tall.

Schenck r into Ja

By Mark Huffman

illy Schenck has a quick answer for people who ask him where he was born and raised. “I tell them that ‘legend has it’ that I’m from Two Guns, Arizona,” he says, “the most violent town ever.” That’s not true. Two Guns, what’s left of it, is an Old West ghost town. It’s a place that’s more imagination than reality, more nostalgia than actual. But for Schenck it’s part of a world that he is doing his best to keep alive, in his own quirky way. Schenck’s style is something like Two Guns: a bit of old, some new, what used to be and what is, what is real and what he would like to be real. That combination has been the basis of a career in art that has earned Schenck renown among Western art lovers and that is bringing him back to the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival this year to mark 31 years of the event and his role in it. A Schenck painting, “13 Minutes From Eternity,” is the 2015 Fall Arts Festival poster art. It shows a cowboy on horseback, rifle in hand as he glances worriedly backward, where Mount Moran looms. When the festival began in 1985, with Schenck among the instigators, another of his images was the first official poster. Schenck calls having his work selected twice — a first for the festival — “some-

rides back ackson a variety of his recent paintings through Monday, Sept. 21. He will be on hand to sign posters 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, followed by the opening reception for the showcase from 5 to 8 p.m. In the 1960s Schenck was a youngster with an art degree when he went to New York City and ran into the work of the pop artists who were flourishing there. Painters such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Peter Max were popular for their take on modern subjects and for their simply Schenck drawn and vividly colored images. Schenck experimented with that, but he was a young man who had grown up with horses and cattle and — most importantly — a love for the Western movies that drew audiences to movie theaters in the 1950s and ’60s. “I considered myself a contemporary artist … but while in art school I began seeing those spaghetti Westerns by Sergio Leone,” he says, remembering Clint Eastwood films such as “High Plains Drifter” and “A Fistful of Dollars.” “It conceptually got my attention, and I thought, ‘This is such a departure in the Western movie genre,’ and I instinctively, intuitively understood that this was earthmoving. “I wondered if I could do something similar in paint, and I made a decision to begin messing with Western art.” Schenck has been messing with West-

ern art ever since. He combined cowboys and pop to create a style that drew on the same themes and icons that drive all Western art, but he dropped the 19th-century realism that had been the look of the West since it was first painted. Instead, Schenck made a West that had a cartoon look to it, and sometimes a cartoon whimsy. That suited his personality, which seems firmly grounded in crazy humor. A Schenck painting can make you laugh by being so deadly earnest. He likes doing what he calls “putting all the cliches in a blender” and turning the result into art that combines silly and serious in a style that mashes the Sunday comics, paint-by-number and Japanese woodblock styles. “Absurdity is something I love, irony,” he says of the way he treats his subjects. “I like to do paintings that exist as double entendres, social commentary where you had to know some history. “I’m definitely messing with the whole idea of all these cliches in Western history. I love playing with the mystique, the mythology, but I’m also reverent.” Altamira owner Mark Tarrant says Schenck’s creations come from a “world of mythical Western life and legend, deeply serious landscapes, photographic historical images, hysterical caption paintings and, recently, a series of dot paintings paying homage to Lichtenstein and Warhol.” Dean Munn at Altamira calls Schenck “the first pop artist in the Western art genre, one who forever changed the landscape of what is perceived as ‘Western.’” He says Schenck has created “a recognizable brand no others can emulate.”

Schenck appearances Billy Schenck ‘13 Minutes From Eternity’ poster signing 3-5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 Opening reception 5-8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 Poster signing and auction of original of ‘13 Minutes From Eternity’ 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, Sept. 19 For some people Schenck is their entrance to collecting art, Munn says, drawn in by the odd style and the humor. But he says that “seasoned Western art traditionalists also become enamored and expand their focus by enriching personal collections with a Schenck.” Noting that Schenck’s work is in dozens of museums, Munn says the artist long ago stopped being a goofy outsider and is now seen as a creator of “relevant and important art.” Tarrant thinks that Schenck is “making the best work of his career right now.” Schenck showcase at Altamira Fine Art will feature recent work, all of it done within the past year. Prices will range from $3,000 to $55,000. The original of “13 Minutes From Eternity” is on display in the lobby of the Wort Hotel. It will be auctioned Saturday, Sept. 19, as part of the 20th annual Jackson Hole Quick Draw Art Sale and Auction, where Schenck will also sign posters starting at 9 a.m. and speak briefly at 11:30.

“It is a wonderful event, and all the galleries enjoy participating,” said Kiera Wakeman, president of the Jackson Hole Gallery Association.

To best fit this year’s Fall Arts Festival schedule Wednesday night was selected for September. “Normally the art walks are on the third

Thursday of every month in the summer,” Wakeman said. “But as there are so many great events that take place that week during Fall Arts, the [gallery association] decided, quite some time ago, to have the Art Walk on Wednesday night so as to minimize conflicts with other events.” Each gallery makes an occasion of the Art Walk. “Almost every gallery likes to have something special going on during this Art Walk,” Wakeman said, “be it an

opening, artist reception or a nice selection of wine. The gallery association is looking to plans to make this Art Walk even more fun than last year.” A second gallery touring opportunity, the Art Brunch Walk, presented by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 20, the last day of the 2015 Fall Arts Festival. More than 30 art galleries will participate in the closing-day celebration, giv-

ing Sunday strollers the opportunity to mix and mingle with artists and gallery representatives. The fun atmosphere of this event will be taken to another level with bloody marys and mimosas and, in some cases, omelettes and other food items. Many of the galleries will arrange for additional activities during the Art Brunch Walk. West Lives On on South Glenwood, for example, will have more than 20 artists on-hand during its Meet the Artist event.

Tour to offer look at ranching past, future

What: Tour of historic Jackson Hole ranches includes entertainment and barbecue Where: Buses leave Home Ranch parking lot When: 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 How much: $50 per ticket Contact: 307-733-3316 By Shannon Sollitt

he phrase “Wild West” conjures images of lassos, saddled-up horses and cowboys riding through wide open landscapes. As the “last of the Wild West,” cowboy culture is alive and well in Jackson. But you can’t spell “cowboy” without “cow.” Cattle ranches are a “big part of the history of Wyoming and the West,” said Barbara Hauge of Snake River Ranch. That is why Snake River Ranch opens its gates to the public for historic ranch tours every year during the Fall Arts Festival. “A lot of people are interested in Western heritage,” Hauge said. Hauge’s grandfather founded the ranch in 1929. He was 50 years old and “looking for a place to spend time with his family that would be constructive and fun for them,” she said. The small cow-calf operation grew and evolved, and by the 1980s it had become the all-natural, “never-ever” cattle ranch it is now. “Never ever,” Hauge said, refers to the fact that the cattle on the ranch are “never ever” fed hormones or antibiotics. The Snake River Ranch is a history lesson on its own. It is also a clear example of how history plays with the present. Though the ranch uses electric fences, motorized equipment and cellphones “there are still harnesses from the horsepower days,” Hauge said. “It’s the same business,” she said, “but it looks a little different.” The ranch, a Jackson Hole Land

Visitors explore the hay loft of a Snake River Ranch barn where the original 1930 carpentry is intact.

The tour wraps up with a barbecue and live music.

Trust-protected property, also tells an interesting story about the relationships between humans, business and the environment, she said. The ranchers protect the wildlife and ecosystems of the land “all the while operating a business in the landscape,” Hauge said. The Fall Arts Festival’s historic ranch tours are a chance for the public to get up close and personal to the food they consume.

“I think a lot of people are very far from agriculture now,” Hauge said. Still, people want to know where their food comes from and how it is raised. “It’s important for ranchers to speak to the public,” Hauge said. “Ranchers have settled a lot of this state and made improvements, like water improvements, that benefit all sorts of people and animals.” The Snake River Ranch is the second

Though the create-art-against-the-clock event isn’t likely to be adopted by the artists as their usual way of working, they all seem happy to join the crowd that the Quick Draw lures.

Quick Draw on Town Square 20th annual Jackson Hole Quick Draw 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 Town Square By Richard Anderson

he West is still pretty wild, but some definitions have changed. A hanging these days probably refers to an art gallery exhibition, for example, while a quick draw is an event in which artists are challenged to create a finished work in a short time while surrounded by admiring spectators. The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce brings the 20th annual Jackson Hole Quick Draw to Town Square during the closing Saturday of the 2015 Fall Arts Festival. More than 30 painters and even a few sculptors will be given just 90 minutes to create a masterpiece. Afterward, the finished work will be auctioned — along with the original of “13 Minutes From Eternity,” Billy Schenck’s Fall Arts Festival poster art — with a portion of the proceeds benefiting next year’s arts fest. If the idea of creating from scratch a work of art suitable for hanging (and that will generate high auction bids) in front of a crowd (and in front of your peers) sounds like a recipe for an anxiety attack — it is. “Every year when it’s over I say, ‘Oh, it’s so stressful,’” said Quick Draw veteran Kathryn Mapes Turner, one-third of the crew that supplies, owns and operates Trio Fine Art. “But I always come back. Why?” Turner answers her own

question. “We spend so much of our time as artists in solitude,” she said. “This is an opportunity to share the creative process with a big audience. That’s why people love it so much — it’s like magic for them — and it’s oftentimes magical for me, too, to see the painting become. … It’s exciting, stressful and exhilarating. “It’s interesting to see what transpires with a little intention,” she said. “And it’s neat to see how excited the public gets. They get to be a part of what we do every day. That’s part of it — to share that.” To spectators the Quick Draw experience may seem to be an act of spontaneous creation — blank canvas to masterpiece at high speed — but that belies the reality of the life of the artist, who spends tens of thousands of hours mastering

the crafts of line, color, gesture, composition, materials. “People ask, ‘How long does

it take to do a painting?’ and I say, ‘Two hours and 20 years,’” Turner said. “I’ve been at it for that long. It’s accumulated knowledge.” As a pianist teaches his fingers to play the right chords and notes, a painter or sketcher trains her hands, exercises her art muscles every day so the strokes and dabs come without the mind interfering. “The other ingredient — and this is my secret weapon for the Quick Draw,” Turner said, “I have found that if I approach the process with a lack of attachment to the product and just approach it as another hour and a half of something I love, then I bring a sense of joy and sense of ‘Lucky me! I get to paint!’” The crowd disappears, “and I get lost in the process.” This year’s Quick Draw ros-

ter includes a half dozen Jackson artists — Amy Ringholz, Jim Wilcox, Kathy Wipfler and Turner’s gallery-mates Jennifer Hoffman and Bill Sawczuk — as well as favorites from a dozen Teton galleries. Guests include last year’s featured artist Nancy Dunlop Caudrey, Nicholas Coleman, Gary Keimig, Chad Poppleton, Jared Sanders, Linda St. Clair and Carol Swinney. In addition, Schenck will be on hand to sign Fall Arts Festival posters, witness the auction of “13 Minutes From Eternity” and speak briefly to the crowd. “There are people who plan their vacations around the Quick Draw,” Turner said. “I had someone call me just as the last one ended. They said, ‘We’re planning our vacation for next year and want to know when Quick Draw will be.’ It’s that exciting.”

he three painters who are partners in Trio Fine Art — Kathryn Turner, Bill Sawczuk and Jennifer L. Hoffman — see the valley a little bit differently than other artists. Full-time Jackson Hole residents and nationally recognized painters, the three have more of a knack for depicting quiet moments in nature that others may overlook. “We know this place in an intimate way because we’re from here and this is where we work,” Turner said. “We are really excited about the role that we play in the gallery community. We think that it’s a unique role because we’re painting this valley year-round and capturing the nuances.” Those nuances will be on display in the artists’ joint show “In Our Valley” at Trio Fine Art during the Fall Arts Festival. Turner, who grew up on Triangle X

Ranch in Grand Teton National Park, will exhibit a variety of oil paintings she has been working on this summer. An equestrian and horse lover, she has been spending time on her family’s ranch painting horses from life. “That’s been a special part of my summer,” she said. “It’s given me an excuse to hang out with horses.” Master equine painter Ned Jacob trained Turner to paint horses from life, a practice she continues today. “He started me on a wonderful course of study,” she said. “I regularly revisit it in a concentrated, focused kind of way.” Turner, who paints in oils and pastels, brings a moody, tonal quality to her work that sometimes dips into the impressionistic or even abstract. Hoffman, who paints soft landscapes in oils and pastels, focuses mostly on the views from where she lives in Hoback, the southern end of the valley. She plans to have new works for the Fall Arts Festival show centered around her part of Jackson Hole. “My view is a little bit different,” she said. “We all have our little sections of the

valley that feel familiar and special to us, and I think you see that in this show and in our work. “I will definitely have pieces that are inspired by this amazing place that we live.” Sawczuk has been using oil paint to depict everyday scenes with bold colors. He said he has been painting little scenes on larger canvases recently, something plein air artists typically don’t do because of the convenience of working on smaller pieces outdoors. “Some that are really just more common scenes than you might find when you come into the park, more than high mountains,” Sawczuk said of this body of work. “These are things I’m finding by the sides of the road or by little walks into the park.” While he was in Yellowstone National Park earlier this year, he stumbled upon a tiny stream with last year’s cattails dried around it. The setting captivated him, so he painted it. Rather than to get grand scenes, he said it’s more important to him now to get scenes that “people might see as a tourist — everyday scenes that are hopefully presented in a way that is compel-

Beauty is not just in the mountains.” Trio Fine Art’s “In Our Valley” is a great show for people who love Jackson, Turner said. “This is a chance we have to collaborate and focus on this particular theme together,” she said. And Fall Arts Festival is a great venue to show the works. “As artists it’s just really special to be part of a celebration of the art,” she said. “It’s been amazing to watch something that has grown to a destination spot in the American art scene.” “In Our Valley” hangs through September. An opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16.

West Lives On stays true to traditional roots West Lives On Gallery 75 N. Glenwood St. 307-734-2888 WestLivesOn.com By Cherise Forno

n a town that has a long history, modern art and breathtaking scenery, one art gallery pays homage to Jackson’s rich Western roots, keeping them alive with a renowned collection of traditional Western and wildlife art. West Lives On Gallery has been representing local and regional artists for more than 18 years. “We’re like the Energizer bunny,” said Terry Ray, owner of the downtown Jackson gallery. “We just keep going on and on.” Ray said one feature that makes the gallery unique is that it is actually two galleries: West Lives On and, right next door, West Lives On Contemporary (see page E2). The traditional side, he said, houses “probably the most traditional Western art in Jackson,” with wildlife and landscape art, Native American and cowboy imagery, and icons rendered in oils, acrylics, watercolors, bronze and other mediums. West Lives On Gallery has always been an active participant in the annual Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival. This year art enthusiasts will have the opportunity to see work by new artists in the gallery, including Robert Copple’s Western scenery and Brandon Boles’ wildlife canvases. Other highlights include Richard Luce, Joe Velazquez and Mark Keathley. One of the main attractions this year will be David Graham, an artist from Montana who does Western and wildlife work, who will be showcased from Thursday, Sept. 10, through Wednesday, Sept. 16. “We’re excited about that,” Ray said. Graham is a relative newcomer to the Western art world. He was born and raised on a ranch on the Powder River, and his experiences working there and recreating in Montana’s vast outdoors bring a depth of authenticity to his scenes. In 2008 he turned to painting full time, and in 2010 he brought his art to Jackson Hole, where Ray leaped to represent him. Ray said five of the galleries’ artists will be par-

ticipating in this year’s Quick Draw Art Sale and Auction, which starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. Oneof-a-kind artwork will be sold following a 90-minute creative art session in which artists will paint and sculpt while spectators look on. West Lives On will also be on the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk route on Friday, Sept. 11. And during the Art Brunch Gallery Walk set for

Sunday, Sept. 20, it will hold a “Meet the Artists” event. Ray said more than 20 artists will be on hand for people to meet as they view their work and enjoy brunch with mimosas and bloody marys. The festival send-off has a laid-back atmosphere that is a fitting way to close out the festival of art, food and celebration. “That’s always a big day for us,” Ray said.

fter eight successful years the annual Jackson Hole Art Auction continues to draw art collectors from across the country and around the world with its wide variety of art by deceased and contemporary artists. “This year will mark the ninth annual Jackson Hole Art Auction,” said Jill Callahan, coordinator of the Fall Arts favorite, “and each year we reach a broader clientele. We have bidders from every corner of the country, as well as abroad. Presented by Trailside Galleries and Gerald Peters Gallery, headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, this year’s event will feature more than 140 artists representing many genres, including Western, wildlife, sporting, floral, portrait and landscape. “We are becoming known globally for our strong wildlife offerings by masters such as Bob Kuhn and Carl Rungius,” Callahan said. But the auction also is known for its diversity. “There is truly something for everyone,” she said. To accommodate an even broader audience this year’s auction will feature two sales: Session I, set to start at noon Friday, Sept. 18, at Trailside Galleries, and Session II, scheduled for noon Saturday, Sept. 19, at the Center for the Arts. “The objective of our inaugural Session I auction is to offer high-quality work by desirable contemporary and deceased artists at a price point for the young or beginning collector,” Callahan said. Works by artists such as Harry Jackson, Kenneth

Riley, Tucker Smith, Carl Rungius and Chad Poppleton are included in the Session I sale. Artwork can be previewed at Trailside Galleries, located at 130 E. Broadway, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, and 9 a.m. to noon the next day. Callahan said approximately 85 lots will be offered during Session I. Session II will offer about 220 lots. “We will also offer over 30 paintings specifically created for the Jackson Hole Art Auction by contemporary artists,” Callahan said, “including Martin Grelle, Ewoud de Groot, T. Allen Lawson, Ralph Oberg, Amy Ringholz and more.” Callahan said Session II of the auction will feature many works by contemporary and deceased artists at a wide range of prices. One highlight, she said, will be Albert Bierstadt’s “Wind River Country Wyoming,” from around 1860, which also graces the cover of the auction catalog. The classic painting by one of Western art’s earliest and most revered practitioners is expected to sell for $1 million to $2 million. “This landscape masterwork depicts the Wind River Range,” said Callahan. “A large Wind River scene has not come on the market in 30 years.” Other highlights include works by Clyde Aspevig, Tom Lovell, Bob Kuhn, Norman Rockwell and Oscar Berninghaus. Callahan said she expects G. Harvey paintings to be very popular as well. His Civil War painting “The Hope of the Confederacy” is projected to garner $125,000 to $175,000. “We are also pleased to offer a fine selection of Bob Kuhn paintings,” Callahan said, “including ‘Cheetahs on a Termite Hill,’ which has also never been on the market.” Session II artwork can be previewed 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, and 9 a.m. to noon Saturday,

Art is a family affair at Wilcox galleries Wilcox Gallery 1975 N. Highway 89 307-733-6450 Wilcox Gallery II 110 Center St. 307-733-3950 WilcoxGallery.com By Claudia Martin

n the 1960s, Jim Wilcox was interested in three things: product design, architecture and art. He figured that if he went into product design he figured he would be sitting behind a desk in a smoky office. If he went into architecture he would probably be building projects based on what other people dictated. And if he went into art he could sit under a tree where the world would be his office. He chose art. “The people we get to meet, the places we get to go,” said Narda Wilcox, his wife and gallery co-owner. “Jim will take his backpack, a fishing pole, lunch and painting gear out to the mountains, and that’s his office.” On Friday, Sept. 11, the Wilcox galleries will host the opening reception for their “Wildlife and Wild Lands” show during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. The show will run through the end of the month. Narda Wilcox said the gallery is focusing on Western art for the Fall Arts Festival. The show will “encompass the beautiful mountains and wild rugged scenes … and a number of artists that sculpt and paint them.” Walking into the original Wilcox gallery just north of town, visitors are greeted by Beethoven and splashes of sunlight hitting sculptures of wildlife. The building is roughly 11,000 square feet. Half of it is the Wilcox’s home, and the other half is the gallery and the artist’s third-floor studio, or his “Jimnasium.” Wilcox has been painting for more than 40 years in Jackson, and Narda Wilcox has been a significant part of the development of the two galleries.

Wilcox’s “Moki Canyon Reflection,” a 40-by-30-inch oil on canvas, won the 2013 Autry Museum Purchase Award.

Jim Wilcox’s “Evening Light Show,” an oil on canvas measuring 30 by 48 inches, captures the view outside his studio.

“We’ve been here since 1969,” she said. “This started in 1975 with a small building because we weren’t sure if people would stop to see us. … But we were encouraged.” Wilcox designed his first gallery. It contained hidden passages and alcoves that the seven Wilcox children played hide-and-seek in, and a sunny greenhouse with flowers and tomato plants where his wife cultivates her creative projects. The glass-enclosed greenhouse-conservatory is on the second floor next to a landscape of Utah’s Moki Canyon. The water in the canyon recedes and leaves cracked mud that glows in the late afternoon light. Narda Wilcox took photos, and her husband painted the haunting “Moki Canyon Reflections,” a 40-by-30-inch oil on linen that in 2013 won the Autry Museum Purchase Award, an honor akin to an Oscar. He also won the equally prestigious Prix de West award in 1987. The canyon painting, while eye-catching, synthesizes wall space with distinct art from all of the 40plus artists in the gallery. No one is invisible or idolized. The gallery and its sister, located just off Town Square by Moo’s Ice Cream, contain art that mostly depicts Western wildlife, Native American images and landscapes, with a few exceptions. Artists include internationally recognized names and young proteges working in oil, watercolor, sculpture, wood, papercast, gourds and giclee prints. The youngest and newest artist is 15-year-old Kyle Ma, from Texas, with 9-by-12 and 11-by-14 oils on panel. Veterans include sculptor Tim Cotterill and watercolorist Don Weller. Then there are new oils on canvas by Jim Wilcox and small bronzes of bears and bison by his son, Eric Wilcox, coated in vivid patinas of speckled gold, turquoise, purple and red. Sculptor Tim Whitworth gave Eric some clay and said, “See what you can make with it,” according to Jeff Wilcox, another son who, with Eric, manages the galleries. “Eric made a little bear about the size of a palm, and an artist from Oregon asked to make a few casts.” Pretty soon Eric Wilcox was making little sculptures of bears and bison. “He asked Tim for more clay and Tim said, ‘You’re making money now, get your own clay.’ ”

Downtown Gallery Events ‘Wildlife and Wild Lands’ opening reception 5-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11 Art demonstrations with Tim Whitworth, Julie Jeppsen, Tom Mansanarez and others Throughout the day Saturday, Sept. 19 Pie and ice cream social 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19 Jeff Wilcox studied finance but fell in love with the art business, specifically the people he has met and the appreciation for art he has developed. He has become an integral part of the gallery and will be coordinating the events for the annual Fall Arts Festival. In addition to the Palates and Palettes reception, the downtown gallery will host a pie and ice cream social from 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. During the day it will welcome several artists — including papercast and bronze sculptor Whitworth, oil painter Julie Jeppsen and oil painter Tom Mansanarez — to conduct art demonstrations. “Tom is a lot of fun because he always tells crazy wildlife adventure stories,” Jeff Wilcox said. Jeppsen, he said, is a twin sister and used to compete in horse competitions in which the rider had to shoot balloons. “Her twin bested her with the horses,” he said, “but she was the better artist.” “Every artist who will be there is a character,” he said. When people ask Wilcox when his father is going to retire he tells them his dad retired in 1969. That’s when he stopped teaching high school art and decided to be an artist. “Artists are amazing people,” Jeff Wilcox said. “They get to wake up and do what they love.” It’s not always profitable, but “the people who really make a splash in the art world are passionate about what they do,” he said. “In the long run, people will know their name.”

obody comes to the Tetons to sit inside, but enjoying the mountains from the comfort of a living room does have its attractions. Jackson architects, designers, builders and landscapers have worked wonders in their fields, and some of them will get to show off their finest during the 2015 Fall Arts Festival as Homestead Magazine presents its third annual Showcase of Homes. Set for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18, and Saturday, Sept. 19, the Showcase of Homes celebrates these domestic accomplishments with a self-guided tour of a few of Jackson Hole’s most spectacular living spaces. “We choose homes based on location in the valley, architectural style and the range of professionals behind the project,” said Latham Jenkins, founder and president of Circ Design, which publishes Homestead and organizes the Showcase of Homes. Five residences were selected to show a cross section of the valley’s designs, from the more traditional to mountain modern. During the two-day event ticket holders will be able to explore the houses and discuss design elements with the professionals who designed and built them. Local charities benefit from the tour, with proceeds from ticket sales supporting organizations selected by each homeowner. They include the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, Grand Teton National Park Foundation and the Jackson Hole Land Trust.

Unlike gallery artists, who are able to show work in public settings, architects and interior designers mostly operate in the private realm. The Showcase of Homes is an opportunity for John Carney of Carney Logan Burke Architects to expose some of his work that few people ever see. “We do these beautiful one-off houses,” he said, “and unless the client had a commitment to want to share that they typically will shy away from that kind of thing.” Carney is responsible for the architecture of two projects in this year’s Showcase of Homes. His Lodge at Fish Creek represents his talent for adhering to the rustic character of the valley. Although not as classic as what the phrase “log cabin” conjures, these 12 homes in Shooting Star offer a clean look of wood See homes on 14B

Amy Ringholz’s Fall Arts Festival show is named for this piece, “Coming Into My Own.”

Ringholz at home in her own space

Ringholz Studios 307-734-3964 140 E. Broadway, Suite 6 AmyRingholz.com By Kelsey Dayton

f you’ve ever wondered what type of art Amy Ringholz would create if she were just making it for herself, you are in luck. This month Ringholz is presenting “Coming Into Your Own,” her first Fall Arts Festival show in her new East Broadway gallery, and it’s about authenticity, rediscovering yourself and finding your truth after life has rattled you, she said. The show will feature about 10 new paintings and six watercolors. “It’s what people should want from artists — for artists to paint for themselves,” Ringholz said. “It’s why we make art, to express our own path.” Hosting a show in her own space is fitting. Ringholz designed the gallery to be a place people come to and remember. It’s meant to engage collectors in creativity while also giving her artistic freedom. “The gallery is suited for my style and work,” she said. “When you walk in you feel like you are in my house, and that’s a cool experience to share with collectors.” Ringholz is pushing herself as an artist with this show, trying to add more depth and narrative to the paintings while also moving her already contemporary stylings into a more modern arena. “I’m trying to push my composition to be more bold and in your face, and then also I’m playing with negative space,” she said. “The more stark you make things, the more purposeful and bolder the piece comes off and the more exciting it is.” Ringholz has been playing with a lot of pink in her new work, mixing it with

more traditional Western earth tones. The urban look takes distinctly Western subject matter — such as bears or wolves — but makes the artwork translatable and appealing to anyone, no matter where they live, she said. It’s about taking what Jackson is known for — it’s wildlife — and pushing it in a more modern vein, she said. It allows visitors from all over the world to experience Jackson but through a different lens. The work is loose, modern and fresh but still distinctly Ringholz. She was the Fall Arts Festival’s featured artist in 2012. Just 34 at the time, she was the youngest artist ever chosen for the honor. While Ringholz’s work is evolving, her voice is clear in a way that her loyal fans will recognize. Her art career is based in figurative portraiture. — Amy Ringholz Her ink, oil and painter oil crayon paintings of animals are known for their colors but also for their eyes, which Ringholz paints with human qualities. “They are almost mirrors of me or selfportraits,” she said. In addition to wildlife work Ringholz will have six watercolors that will sell for $1,500 during the festival. She likes working in the smaller format and creating the softer, intimate paintings. It allows her to let loose and also provides collectors an option to purchase work at a lower price, she said. They also fit the theme of the show “Coming Into Your Own.” The show takes its name from a 55-by-55-inch bear painting titled “Coming Into My Own.” “It’s raw and it’s forward-thinking,” Ringholz said. “The bear is a very emotional piece. You have to decide what he’s feeling and thinking.” The painting is inspired by Ringholz’ personal journey, facing challenges that life threw at her, losing herself and then again finding her voice. The painting and the show are about Ringholz coming back to what she loves about art and painting for herself. “I think it’s going to be an emotional and meaningful show,” she said. “It’s Amy’s show for Amy.”

slats and stone masonry exteriors. Large windows in the high-vaulted living rooms look out at mountain views, giving a contemporary slant to the ski-town chalet. “It’s a little more contemporary, but still in the rustic category,” Carney said. “My house, by contrast, is much more modern.” Carney’s own home, which is also on the tour, gives a deeper insight into the architectural process. Carney will be available both days to explain his process, which begins with analyzing the landscape to help his clients stick to the design restrictions of their subdivisions but concludes with a personalized development. Some homes feature trimless detail, which Russ Weaver, onsite superintendent of Ridgetop Pavilion atop North Gros Ventre Butte, pointed out allows the interior to flow into the natural contours of the landscape. This same living space has 360-degree views of the mountains: Sleeping Indian to the east, the Tetons to the north and west, and the Snake River Range to the south. The large number of windows that give

such views demanded that Weaver and his team undergo numerous energy tests that may become commonplace in coming years. A pressurized blower test and hotwater-supplementing solar panels were among them. The final product of each home is an exhibition of the latest developments of architectural creation in the realm of mountain modern. Showcase of Homes offers this look into the creative process and use of the latest technology to build cutting-edge work. “Unlike Homestead Magazine, which is a static medium, the Showcase of Homes is experiential,” Jenkins said. “Not only do you get to experience the special design, but you can interact with the artisans who created it.” Without it, the mastery would remain restricted to homeowners and street-corner tourists. “They really want people to come in and kick the tires,” Carney said. Tickets cost $75 each and are limited to 250 people to ensure a personal and quality experience while also giving the professionals the ability to answer questions from each visitor. Tickets can be purchased at JacksonHoleShowcase.com.

By Jennifer Dorsey

storia Fine Art’s exhibition calendar this time of year is filled with familiar faces. Painters G. Russell Case and Greg Beecham, and sculptors Tim Cherry and Joshua Tobey will be featured at the Town Square gallery during the Fall Arts Festival. “A lot of collectors are in town,” Astoria managing partner Greg Fulton said. “I try to focus on the artists that have the most recognizable names during the Fall Arts Festival.” Those four will share the limelight with another group of recognizable names. “During the Fall Arts Festival is when I try to have our biggest selection of historical paintings,” Fulton said, “works by deceased artists.” Unless they get snapped up before the festival, Fulton will have paintings by wildlife superstars Carl Rungius (18691959), Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert (18651926), Robert Lougheed (1910-1982) and John Clymer (1907-1989). There should also be something by Richard Schmid. Though the celebrated landscape and portrait painter is alive, he is “so rare and famous that he fits in with those artists,” Fulton said. “During the Fall Arts Festival you have those types of buyers,” he said, “but you also want things that people remember. Once-in-a-lifetime offerings are what bring people back here year after year.” Root beer floats might keep reeling them in, too: For the Palates and Palettes gallery walk party, set for Friday, Sept. 11, Astoria will host an ice cream social. “We like to have a gallery opening where people can bring their kids and not deal with excessive drinking,” Fulton said.

Greg Beecham’s oil painting “Force of Nature” measures 30 by 40 inches. Astoria Fine Art will host its eighth annual Greg Beecham Show and Sale on Sept. 18 and 19.

G. Russell Case will attend a reception at Astoria from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17. The Brigham City, Utah, artist is “at the top of the list” of big-name painters doing Southwestern landscapes and figurative work, Fulton said. When Fulton features a painter, he also likes to have a featured sculptor: Case has been paired with Tim Cherry. Though the Branson, Missouri, sculptor can’t come to the reception, Astoria will have some of his new pieces. “For contemporary wildlife Tim is among the most award-winning,” Fulton said, “not only in the Western world but on the national sculpture scene as well. He has a big following coast to coast.” Beecham’s work will be spotlighted from the start of the festival, and on Friday, Sept. 18, Astoria will host its eighth annual Greg Beecham Show and Sale.

The Dubois painter is “huge” in the wildlife genre, Fulton said. So huge that “he is the only artist that we feature with his own show every year.” Astoria will host a reception for Beecham and sculptor Joshua Tobey from 1 to 4 p.m. that day. Tobey was the 2014 Fall Arts Festival featured sculptor — in fact, the only featured sculptor in the history of the Jackson Hole event. The Loveland, Colorado, wildlife artist is wildly popular. “Josh is such a hot commodity these days,” Fulton said. “With him being featured artist last year people are going to come and see a big offering of his works. He’ll have some new pieces here that will make their world debut during the Fall Arts Festival.” One of those will be a life-size mountain lion family. Saturday, Sept. 19, will be a busy day for

At noon that day Astoria will host the sale part of Beecham’s show by draw. “There’s high demand but a limited number of paintings,” Fulton said. “To give everybody an equal chance we put names into a box and draw out the buyer. It’s fun and exciting.” On Sunday, Sept. 20, Astoria will join other galleries in the “Farewell to Fall Arts” brunch gallery walk. Bloody marys and mimosas will be on the menu.

The Western Visions Wild 100 show includes works by 11 Jackson Hole artists, including September Vhay’s “Deer Run Glow.”

Wild 100 gets wilder

Western Visions Wild 100 National Museum of Wildlife Art 307-733-5771 WildlifeArt.org, WesternVisions.org

Wild times @ NMWA The National Museum of Wildlife Arts 28th annual Western Visions opened Sept. 5 and continues through Saturday, Sept. 27.

By Julie Butler

f it ain’t broke, don’t fix it — not entirely, at least. That seems to be the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s philosophy about its Western Visions Wild 100 marquee event, held during the second week of the Fall Arts Festival. In 2014 the Western Visions Miniatures & More Show and Sale was renamed Wild 100 to reflect a paring down of the number of artists participating. “Last year’s change from Miniatures & More to Wild 100 reduced the amount of artists from 150 to 100,” said Amy Goicoechea, associate director of programs and events, “which made it more manageable for the museum. “It also helped from a marketing and messaging standpoint, as it was something fresh and new and simplified,” Goicoechea said. “And it eliminated any overlap between the jewelry show and sale, which used to happen at the same time.” For 28 years each Western Visions artist has been invited to submit up to three works: a miniature, a sketch and a midsize piece. For 27 years the works were put on display in locations throughout the museum. New for this year’s 28th annual event, all the pieces of art submitted will hang together as opposed to being spread out in various galleries. Not every artist submits three pieces, but there will still be more than 200 works to view and purchase. “This is visually a fresh change and very friendly for the collectors,” Goicoechea said. “Not only will it be easy to find an artist’s work all in one spot, but it is easier for the artist to communicate with the collector, as it puts them in one place. It is an important part of what makes those two nights special.” The two nights Goicoechea refers to will be the Wild 100 Artist Party, set for 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 17, and the 28th annual show and sale from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. Both parties take place at the museum. Ten percent of the Wild 100 artists are local: Scott

Jewelry & Artisan Luncheon: The elegant, women’sonly luncheon, show and sale — “Wild. Wearable.Art.” — is set for 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the Four Seasons Resort in Teton Village. It will feature jewelry, clothing and accessories. Forty percent of sales benefit the museum. Tickets cost $125. Palates and Palettes: The wildlife art museum joins in the Fall Arts Festival opening-night fun, on Friday, Sept. 11, showing off its Wild 100 Paintings, Sketches and Sculptures and serving margaritas and quesadillas from Rising Sage Cafe.

L. Christensen, Jennifer L. Hoffman, Amy Elizabeth Lay, Lee Carlman Riddell, Amy Ringholz, Bill Sawczuk, Tucker Smith, Kathryn Mapes Turner, September Vhay, Jim Wilcox and Kathy Wipfler. The rest come from all over the United States as well as the world. This year’s Wild 100 artists hail from New Zealand, Sweden, Tanzania and Canada, among other countries. Director of Programs and Events Becky Kimmel said that in 2014, 60 of the 100 artists attended the show. She expects a similar number to show up this year. “A lot of artists use this event as a meet-up spot,” Kimmel said. “They catch up on what each other has been doing for the past year or years.” One of the foreign artists Kimmel is excited about is sculptor Kent Ullberg, from Sweden. “Kent told me how important this show is to him as a wildlife sculptor,” Kimmel said, “because there are no other shows devoted strictly to wildlife. So he sent us a piece of an unusual African animal for this year. “He is excited to have a place to show his skills with African animals as well as North American animals.” North American animal art is, of course, what really

Mangelsen shows new images of bear 399 Mangelsen Images of Nature Gallery 170 N. Cache St. 307-733-9752 Mangelsen.com By Jeannette Boner

amed wildlife photographer Tom Mangelsen continues to give a platform to the natural world with his latest collaborative book project, “Grizzlies of Pilgrim Creek — An Intimate Portrait of 399.” Mangelsen’s name has become synonymous with striking images of wildlife and wild landscapes all around the globe. His new project with environmental journalist Todd Wilkinson feels more like a family album. Both gush over bear 399, who has captured the hearts of the international community as well as their own. She is, for Mangelsen, an intimate member of his inner circle, a familiar face of his life. Bear 399 “has been a real poster child for grizzly bears,” said Mangelsen. “That’s why we are so fascinated by her and her story. There have been 235 newspapers that have picked up the story of 399. Jane Goodall even called me and said she saw the story of 399 in the London Daily Mail. Now that’s a pretty big reach.” This month at his Jackson gallery Mangelsen will unveil never-before-seen images of 399, her cubs and grand-cubs. The new prints complement the much-anticipated book, which the gallery expects in October. Fans can get early glimpses Friday, Sept. 11, at the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, and 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 at an opening reception. “I started photographing bears in the mid-’70s, mostly in Alaska,” Mangelsen said. “In Grand Teton National Park, 399 was the first bear that was really visible and seen in the park at the time. That was 10 years ago. “It was a rare opportunity, seeing bears in Yellowstone and Grand Teton,” he said. “Now, it’s more common. Back then they were pretty much wiped out. I think ... it’s a triumph for the Endangered Species Act.” Grizzly bears were in fast decline 30 years ago, hunted to protect livestock, their habitats destroyed by development. While bears in the Yellowstone region were protected, many wondered if the species would survive. Bear 399 was collared in 2001 as a 5-year-old sow. The radio-tracking collar offered insights into her travels, her daily life, her family and her ability to survive.

Famed wildlife photographer Thomas Mangelsen will unveil new images of Jackson Hole’s famous grizzly bears during the Fall Arts Festival. He will also show new photos from his travels in Alaska, east Africa and the Dominican Republic.

Today she has a Twitter feed, a Facebook page and thousands of fans around world. She has a unique relationship with her followers that straddles the gray areas between the protected national parks and touristy hot spots that threaten her ability to survive and thrive. “Hopefully [these images] will bring an awareness to the grizzly bear,” Mangelsen said. “I think the timing is really good.” Grizzly management will soon be turned over to the state of Wyoming, he said, which in turn could place hundreds of grizzlies at the mercy of hunting season. In their new book he and Wilkinson are “making the case that the resource is worth more alive than hunted,”

Ready. Set. Go Anywhere.

Mangelsen said. “When you read the story you’ll understand that these are not teddy bears. This is a real family, and her offspring have had an amazing life. We hope [she] lives to be 25.” Also during Fall Arts, Images of Nature will present new work from Mangelsen’s recent travels to Africa, the Dominican Republic and Alaska. Images will include underwater shots of humpback whales, a fox family and the big brown grizzlies of the Alaskan bush country. “We did go to Alaska and photographed brown bears on the Alaskan coast, where the bears are eating clams in the spring time,” Mangelsen said. “It was a wonderful trip. I do love bears.”

Still lifes and wildlife in Legacy spotlight Legacy Gallery 75 N. Cache 307-733-2353 LegacyGallery.com

Solo and group shows Kyle Polzin one-man show Reception 4-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16

By Brielle Schaeffer

or 25 years Legacy Gallery has represented premier wildlife and Western artists in Jackson. Staying true to its name and continuing its quarter-century tradition, the gallery will host two shows during the Fall Arts Festival: a one-man exhibition for acclaimed still-life painter Kyle Polzin and its annual “Legacy of Nature: Wildlife and Sporting Art” show and sale. Polzin’s show will open Wednesday, Sept. 16, with a reception from 4 to 6:30 p.m. in the gallery. The Texas artist is a “rising star in Western and American Art,” said Jinger Richardson, who owns Legacy Gallery with her husband, Brad. “He’s sought after by collectors because he has kept his prices down at group shows. Consequently he’s very popular.” The artist recently became exclusive with Legacy Gallery after being represented by the dealers for seven years, Brad Richardson said. “We have experienced phenomenal success with his work,” he said. For example, one piece that would have been priced at $38,000 in the gallery recently sold at auction for more than $200,000, he said. “It’s a classic case of having

far more demand than there is product,” Brad Richardson said. Polzin’s one-man show will include about a dozen pieces of his representative still-life work. He produces detailed paintings of a variety of subjects, from hydrangeas to portraits of historical Western artifacts. Polzin is meticulous in his approach to composing his still-life scenes and will even construct subject matter — a flag, for example — if he cannot find a historically accurate one on his own, Richardson said.

One of Polzin’s pieces featured in the show will be “Art of the Chase,” a depiction of an old-fashioned fox-hunting clothing and equipment. “He captures a real mood,” Brad Richardson said. “His use of light is dramatic.” Polzin’s technique echoes those of the Dutch Masters, with a darker ambiance that captures the shadows. Polzin’s Fall Arts Festival paintings at Legacy will be sold by draw, with collectors placing their names in a hat for each piece they want to buy. Jinger

Richardson expects his pieces to garner more than 150 interested buyers each. “Legacy of Nature” is the gallery’s annual show that perfectly coincides with the season. “It seems like a natural to promote wildlife art in the fall in Jackson Hole, Wyoming,” Brad Richardson said. “So many people come here to view wildlife in the fall, and the Fall Arts Festival is an added plus for the timing of the show.” The show will include work by Legacy artists Ken Carlson, Ken Bunn, Tim Shinabarger,

William Alther, Jay Kemp, Walter Matia, Luke Frazier, Terry Donahue, Brett Smith, Brian Grimm, Chad Poppleton, Dan Metz and Michael Coleman. Many of the painters and sculptors in the gallery have pieces in the permanent collection at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. Carlson has several oil paintings of wildlife, such as his canvas of sheep and antelope, in the wildlife art museum. Bunn’s sculpture of a cougar, “Silent Pursuit,” adorns the stairwell at the museum. Matia’s bronze of three turkeys stands outside the doors of the building. And Coleman’s realistic oils, including one of a raccoon and a goat, are part of the museum’s permanent collection. “You always want to represent the best,” Brad Richardson said, “and fortunately in the wildlife area we have the opportunity to do so. It’s a thrill.” All new work is for sale on a first-come, first-served basis. The reception for “Legacy of Nature” is set for 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18.

Wild animals roam at Trailside Galleries Trailside Galleries 307-733-3186 130 E. Broadway TrailsideGalleries.com By Kelsey Dayton

ne of Kyle Sims’ earliest memories is watching a television show about dinosaurs. At about 5 years old he wanted to re-create what he saw on the screen, so he drew a brontosaurus. That picture stirred a passion for art that would lead him to a career as a professional painter. While Sims has switched from extinct species to the wildlife he sees in the Yellowstone region, that desire to re-create what he sees has remained the same. The American realist will show his work in a solo exhibit, “Their World,” at Trailside Galleries. He will attend a reception at the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 19. The show will hang through Sept. 20. Each year the gallery tries to feature a major wildlife artist during Fall Arts Festival, said Maryvonne Leshe, a managing partner with Trailside. Sims, who was born in Cheyenne, grew up hunting, fishing and exploring the outdoors. The gallery has represented him for about 10 years, Leshe said. His last solo show was about three years ago. Trailside is known for representing young and new talents and introducing them to collectors. Sims, one such young artist, has already shown in prestigious invitationals such as the Prix de West and Masters of the American West. Sims will exhibit more than a dozen new large oil paintings at “Their World,” Leshe said. His work is representational but with soft edges. It shows animals in their environments, providing a sense of immediacy and bringing viewers into the animals’ wild homes. His natural-realism style depicts elk, bison, bobcats and river otters, many of the same animals found in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, Leshe said. Sims finds the outdoors invigorating, and activities

such as hunting, fishing and camping inspire his subject matter. “I love that escape from society and social pressures,” he said. The outdoors and art have been refuges for Sims, especially during high school. The tranquility he found in the open air he could re-create while painting. The outdoors became a place of comfort as well as an obsession. “The wild untamed landscape and the wild animals that go along with it,” he said, “they just represented a certain peace and calmness, and I attached to it and still find that in the subjects.” As a teenager Sims transitioned from drawing in pencil to painting with watercolors, then acrylics and eventually oils. But his subject matter always stayed the same: wild animals and their habitats. “When you paint wildlife you have to paint the landscape just as well,” he said. Sims has always been an American realist, inspired

by the greats of the genre. He hopes to accomplish more than creating a pretty image; he wants his work to resonate and put people in the painting. His palette usually consists of only six colors, and almost every subject has a dab of each color, just in different concentrations. Those blues, oranges and crimsons are the same as what he sees when outdoors in real life. “Their World” will feature 15 new works in varying sizes and some sketches. All of the subject matter is found in Montana, where he now lives. The show hangs alongside the gallery’s annual Fall Gold exhibition, which features the gallery’s other wildlife and landscape artists, including Brent Cotton, James Morgan and Kathy Wipfler. Many of the artists will be at the Sept. 19 reception. Also in the spotlight at Trailside will be Renso Tamse, another realist, who grew up in the Netherlands and has traveled the world in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the flora and fauna he paints. He, too, will show work in the studio through Sept. 20.

New West and Old West shine at Cayuse Cayuse Western Americana 255 N. Glenwood Ave. 307-739-1940 CayuseWA.com By Mark Huffman

eople of the 21st century think of cowboys as kinda drab, fashionwise. But by the time Wild West shows and rodeos were traveling around the country, your average rider had developed some style. As evidence you can see at Cayuse Americana a pair of woolly dark-and-light pinto chaps, apparel that was designed originally for protection on the trail but that evolved into a bit of “look at me” clothing. The angora chaps in question were made sometime in the early 20th century in Calgary, said Mary Schmitt, owner of Cayuse Western Americana, who unveils a new trove of Old and Not-So-Old West artifacts for this year’s Fall Arts Festival. They were chaps, but they belonged to a showman. “The hair on the chaps would swing really wildly as they galloped around the arena. They wanted to be noticed,” she said of the undoubtedly proud owner. “They wanted to be a star.” The fancy duds were also what happened when people had long cold winters to get through and had time on their hands for such work.

These pieces are by Susan Adams. She will be at Cayuse Western Americana for Palates and Palettes.

“The longer the winter, the more outlandish the Western wear,” Schmitt said. Schmitt has been dealing in the art, jewelry, clothing and workaday items of the Old West for more than 25 years. It’s a field of collecting that has had its ups and downs but that seems to retain its appeal for many — especially in Jackson. Cowboy stuff, Indian stuff, “both sell really strong,” Schmitt said.

These days much of what comes on the market is from older collections, being sold by owners who age and find they no longer have the time, who need the money or who have a new interest and decide to sell. Much of the desirable memorabilia “is in museums now,” Schmitt said. But beautiful cowboy and Indian stuff “still turns up in people’s attics,” she said. “You find unique things around the corner

when you don’t expect it.” Another thing that has turned up in Cayuse is a scout coat with beadwork, “probably Kiowa, from the 1870s, with yellow and green ochre on the fringe,” Schmitt said. There’s also a beaded blanket strip, an essential for the Plains Indian homemaker. The one at Cayuse is about 4 feet long, 4 inches wide, heavily beaded, with Old Glory and horse hoof designs. When a Cheyenne

woman had a bison hide to cure, she often cut it in two to make tanning easier, then she resewed the two pieces and used a pretty blanket strip to cover seam. A lot of what Cayuse offers isn’t Old West but is inspired by it. This year Schmitt has invited one of her most popular silver workers, Susan Adams, to return to the shop. Adams, who will also be participating in the Western Design Conference (see page 10E) where she is a past award winner, will be at Cayuse for the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk the night of Friday, Sept. 11. Adams is known for her fine silver jewelry, inspired by Western motifs, and also for larger works. She has made a silver water pitcher with a leaping horse for its handle, and a martini shaker with an Indian head lid. Her jewelry often incorporates the designs found on the finely tooled leather work of old saddles. “She makes brilliant things, and she’s bringing a lot of her new work,” Schmitt said. “Her jewelry is retro with a modern twist. She likes clean lines, but she’s inspired by things that are old.” It’s fine jewelry from fine material that is likely to become the merchandise of stores like Cayuse in the future, Schmitt said. “In a hundred years her stuff will be seen as classic.”

ast summer Barbara Nowak sold a painting to a woman and her husband who have been visiting her gallery each time they come to Jackson for a fly-fishing vacation. The Horizon Fine Art Gallery proprietor got to talking to the woman, Jan Perkins, and learned she uses technology to “paint” her wildlife photos. “I was intrigued by the process,” Nowak said. “I was intrigued that she literally puts insects and fur into her pieces. They have an Old World feeling but contemporary edge. “I had no idea she was an artist,” she said. That chance conversation led Nowak to represent Perkins at Horizon Fine Art and to have her as a featured artist during this year’s Fall Arts Festival. Perkins, who hails from Georgia, uses traditional techniques with graphic arts technology. Using her own photographs and a digital tablet she creates her pieces on a computer. The digital aspect enables her to use hundreds of brushstrokes to create vivid animal portraits. Once the portraits are completed, Perkins prints them on archival paper. She then adds to them with oils, pastels and natural materials such as fur and scraps from trees before layering them with resin. A trio of birds that hangs at the

“Bison – In the Rut,” is by Jan Perkins. The Georgia artist uses technology to “paint” her wildlife photos. She adds oils pastels and natural materials such as fur and then layers on resin. She is one of Horizon Fine Art’s featured artists during the Fall Arts festival and will be in the gallery Sept. 12 demonstrating her process.

gallery clearly shows the detail, vividness and fanciful nature of her cutting-edge work. “I love the way she frames them,” Nowak said. “Most people think they’re tiles.” Perkins will be set up in the gallery Saturday, Sept. 12, with a large flat-screen TV, demonstrating her digital painting process, Nowak said. Horizon Fine Art will also host a trunk show with jewelry maker Babette Reynolds. Nowak has a similar story about how she started representing Reynolds. “She came in, and I said,

‘Where did you get that necklace?,’” Nowak said. “And she said, ‘Barbara, I make jewelry.‘” Reynolds’ pieces have an antique feel with vintage crystals and rocks as well as old watch parts, costume jewelry and other treasures used as charms. Reynolds’ trunk show will be Wednesday, Sept. 16. A few other gallery artists will be on hand during the festival to give insight into their work. The demonstrations give people “the opportunity to get into [the artists’] heads and their souls and

hear what makes them tick about what they’re doing,” Nowak said. Up-and-coming Utah artist Bregelle Whitworth Davis will also be in the gallery during on Saturday, Sept. 19. She uses only three colors when she paints, which creates a graphic-arts-like effect, Nowak said. In one of her acrylic paintings Davis depicts an owl in lavender, plum and mint. In another she painted a quail in light yellow, pastel green and navy. Three Horizon artists will participate in the Quick Draw Art Sale and Auction, set for Saturday, Sept. 19: Kay Stratman, Mark

Kelso and Gary Keimig. Stratman, a Jackson Hole resident, is a watercolorist who creates her colorful work on absorbent rice paper or gold- and silver-colored surfaces called “shikishi” boards. She recently won the Best Wyoming Artist award at the Watercolor Wyoming 30th annual National Exhibit. Kelso, an Indiana painter, creates intricately detailed wildlife pieces and landscapes. “Mark is an incredible painter,” Nowak said. “He can go from a soft fuzzy background to the subject being almost realistic.” Keimig is from Dubois who has participated in the Quick Draw for “10 years plus,” Nowak said. “He works in oils and watercolor and does a lot of regional landscapes,” she said. He really can capture this area exquisitely.” Stratman, Kelso and Keimig will also be at Horizon Fine Art to meet patrons during the Fall Arts Festival. Having several gallery artists in-house for festival is like a reunion, Nowak said, and it’s a good way to connect with new patrons. “I like the energy and seeing clients year after year,” Nowak said.

Rare Opportunity to Own a 34-acre Jackson Hole Ranch

Nicholas Coleman’s paintings tell stories. “Night Fall,” an oil, measures 30 by 24 inches.

rowing up in Utah, Nicholas Coleman spent his spare time outside hunting, fishing and trapping with his father, artist Michael Coleman, while imagining he was one of the mountain men who settled the West. Coleman has always loved the West, from its heritage and history, with early settlers and Native Americans, to the rugged landscape he studied as a child whenever he was outside. He started drawing the stories he loved, imagining places years before he had been born and translating his dreams onto paper. That’s what he still does today, painting the landscapes of the West filled with tipis, Native Americans and the mountain men he used to pretend to be. Coleman will show his work in a solo exhibition at Mountain Trails Gallery. The show will hang Sept. 10 through 16. A reception for the artist is scheduled for 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. Coleman boasts a loyal following. Collectors travel just to see his shows, said Adam Warner, owner of the gallery. His paintings are distinctive in a market saturated with landscapes. “You can pick out his work from a distance,” Warner said. “You know right away it’s a Coleman.” He is a vibrant artist. His paintings “pop,” even from a distance. And the closer viewers get to the art, the more they can appreciate the subtleties he

creates with his fine brush, Warner said. Coleman keeps edges crisp and often features tipis in the background. The work also features “the magic light,” found only when the sun is rising or setting, he said. Coleman works off photographs, so he finds himself venturing into the outdoors at the hours when he can catch that light. “I love a rainy, snowy, cruddy day,” he said. “Those are the most beautiful kinds of days.” He often combines elements from different photographs to create the best scene for the painting, which always tells a story. “Some are subtle stories from my own experiences, like the black bears who came in and destroyed camp,” he said. Others portray scenes from the legends and lore of the Old West. “There are so many stories that have never been told,” he said. And that means so many more paintings still to create. Some of his paintings are as large as 5 by 6 feet, others as small as 9 by 12 inches, Warner said. Coleman covers a wider range of sizes than most artists. His Mountain Trails show will feature 10 to 15 mostly new paintings, many of Native Americans and early sportsmen. The show is meant to be a cohesive body of work. It will reflect the romantic vision of the wild West that intrigued Coleman as a boy. His show kicks off the gallery’s Fall Arts Festival festivities. Mountain Trails will also host a reception for its artists who will be participating in the Quick Draw on Saturday, Sept. 19, Warner said. Following the popular event on Town Square, in which artists are given 90 minutes to create an original work, the gallery will host a reception and show for its participating artists. The reception is expected to run 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. About seven Mountain Trails artists will participate in the Quick Draw this year. The gallery reception will be a chance to talk to them and see more of their work.

This Jackson Hole Ranch has it all. It’s location in the exclusive Bryan Flats is adjacent to incredible backcountry in Willow Creek for fishing, riding and hiking, while being an easy 20-minute drive to Jackson. The main home has a large ground floor master and open floor plan with two additional bedrooms, office and 2nd large living area.

Turpin artist toasts festival with town scene Turpin Gallery 150 Center St. 307-733-7530 TurpinGallery.MyShopify.com By Emma Breysse

urpin Gallery is ready to usher in the Fall Arts Festival with new original work, artist visits and even a little high-quality ice cream. “We’re just really excited about what we have going this year,” owner Ronald Turpin said, “especially our featured original work.” Nationally recognized painter David Barnhouse completed a new piece specifically for the gallery for Fall Arts Festival. It will be available in several formats and prices. Titled “Twilight in Jackson Hole,” the painting features a view down Cache Street toward Snow King Mountain. A friendly stagecoach driver waves while passing the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar as evening falls and the Town Square lights come on. “It’s just unbelievable that he’s doing this original for us,” Turpin said. “I’m just wild about it.” Barnhouse is a well-known oil painter who works primarily with Americana and rural America landscapes and scenes. He is also a specially licensed artist with John Deere and HarleyDavidson. The detailed work of the Ohio native recalls heartland American life from the 1950s and ’60s or at least evokes a nostalgia for it. After Turpin approached him with the idea of an original and provided photos of Town Square, Barnhouse visited Jackson to get the sense of the area and decided he would provide the featured work. “He’s just so famous that to have him

“Twilight in Jackson Hole” is a painting that David Barnhouse did for Turpin Gallery for the Fall Arts Festival. Reproductions on paper will cost around $150. “We want everyone to have the chance to engage with this piece and with our gallery,” Ronald Turpin said.

agree to something like this is just really special for us,” Turpin said. “The work is really a beautiful and exciting piece, and it’s one of a kind.” Barnhouse also agreed to allow Turpin to offer the work in various forms for customers. Reproductions of the painting will be available in two formats. One, on paper, will cost around $150. Another, on canvas, will run around $2,500. The original will be available for around $25,000, Turpin said. “We’ve had so many people come in here and not be able to buy anything because it’s too expensive,” Turpin said. “We want everyone to have the

chance to engage with this piece and with our gallery,” he said. Turpin Gallery also offers custom framing services, allowing customers to go home with their reproductions framed like an original if they choose. Barnhouse will attend the festival, visiting Turpin Gallery from Wednesday, Sept. 9, to Tuesday, Sept. 15. He will be joined by Turpin regular Karla Mann, who specializes in realisticstyle oil paintings of Southwestern culture and wildlife. For those who are more for sculpture, Turpin suggests visitors check out the 9-foot bronze brown bear that will be delivered to the gallery in time for

the festival. “It’s been our busiest summer probably ever, so we wanted to prepare something special for the people coming in for Fall Arts,” Turpin said. “Something for everyone. Or at least that’s the goal.” The gallery will be open for extended hours throughout the festival. Customers can stop by from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day as long as the Fall Arts Festival is going on. Turpin will partner with Moo’s Ice Cream during the Sept. 11 Palates and Palettes event. “We’ve got a lot going, so we’re excited to have people stop by and experience it,” Turpin said.

the museum, said Western Visions is mirroring the way the museum is growing. “You look at our work, and we have stuff from all over the world,” she said. “Now you walk into a gallery and you may see an elephant or a giraffe.” Goicoechea said the institution is trying to establish a specific invitational energy for the Wild 100 Show and Sale, with a goal each year of having 20 to 30 percent of the artist cadre be fresh and new to Western Visions. “Having new artists and a high-quality, rotating aspect is a very intentional decision we made last year and have every intention of continuing,” Goicoechea said. “We remain primarily focused on wildlife art — in alignment with our mission and vision — but we will also have an interesting diversity of an array of paintings and sculpture of Western art and landscapes.” An artist new to the Wild 100 this year that Goicoechea and Kimmel are thrilled to have participating is still-life painter Jenness Cortez, from upstate New York. In 2003, Cortez began a form of stilllife painting that pays homage to the centuries-old tradition of “art in art.” Her paintings reveal layered meanings found surrounding an iconic masterwork. She uses photographs, antiques and all manner of objects with cultural or historic significance. “Jenness Cortez does amazing work and is bringing a real fresh perspective on Old Masters combined with contemporary artifacts,” Kimmel said. “Her piece for us features a wonderful North American wapiti. It’s a 21st-century still life and is very referential for us. It is specifically inclusive of the museum.” Goicoechea said people who look for hints will find references to the museum. Sculptor-turned-painter George Carlson, of Illinois, is an artist Kimmel said she is “super-excited about.” His work is in the museum’s permanent collection,

and his bronze raptor is currently part of the “Fight or Flight” exhibit. “The piece he has submitted to us for Wild 100 is really superb,” Kimmel said. “It is a painting entitled ‘Edge of the Woods.’ At first you think it’s a landscape, but upon closer inspection you find that it’s a raptor flying through the trees as night.” Carlson has had solo exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of Natural History, the Autry National Center, the Southwest Museum in Los Angeles, the Denver Art Museum and the National Cowboy, Western Heritage Museum and other international museums. Another change to Wild 100 is that there is no featured artist this year. Last year Dutch painter Ewoud de Groot — who is returning for the show — was singled out with the honor. His 64-by-64-inch oil on linen “Caspian” is a new acquisition for the museum and is now a part of its permanent collection. “Western Visions has been a signature event for almost the entire history of the Fall Arts Festival,” Goicoechea said. “The entire 10 days of the festival is fun, it’s exciting — there’s a litany of fabulous things to do — and we’re delighted and, of course, committed to being a part of that experience of Jackson as an arts destination.” The museum has a full lineup of events scheduled, starting with the Western Visions Paintings, Sculptures and Sketch Show and Sale, which opened Sept. 5, and running through Wednesday, Sept. 30, with “Coffee and Collect.” And the Jewelry & Artisan Luncheon returns Wednesday, Sept. 9, to Four Seasons in Teton Village on Sept. 9. See the box on page 3C for the complete schedule. “For anyone who cares about wildlife art, Wild 100 is a win-win-win,” said Kimmel. “It’s a win for the artists, a win for collectors and a win for the museum. It’s a way for locals to participate in this gem on the hill.”

rand Teton Gallery has cemented its place in the Jackson Hole art scene with its fresh take on Western imagery. The contemporary Western art gallery features pieces by prominent artists including sculptors Al Hone and Rip Caswell and painters Micqaela Jones, Nicole Gaitan and George Jones. “In a sense, you get more of the artist in contemporary art,” said Bob Warren, who has owned the gallery with his wife, Mary Beth, for a year. Representational art can all look the same, he said, but contemporary pieces give the artists more chances to capture flare. The work is “more personal to the artist and more revealing,” Warren said. “It’s art that excites us and seems to excite patrons.” The art world seems to be trending more toward contemporary work, Mary Beth Warren said. Every day during the 2015 Fall Arts Festival the gallery will have two artists working in-house for its artists-in-residence program, which will give visitors a peek into the creative process. “It makes it more interesting for all the patrons who are here,” Mary Beth Warren said. Shoshone artist Micqaela Jones will be painting in the gallery during the festival. She mixes acrylic paint with gesso to bring texture in her work. “Typically acrylic will be very flat,” Bob Warren said.

Reception for painter George Jones 4-7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18 Rip Caswell sculpts in gallery 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21

“Windswept,” an oil, is by George H. Jones, also a Fall Arts featured artist at the gallery.

Jones’ work characteristically includes hummingbirds and shows a more spiritual, nonthreatening side of the animals she paints. In “Story Teller,” a multicolored grizzly gazes at a hummingbird against a vivid backdrop. Jones’ work has been displayed at several high-status shows, including the Santa Fe Indian Market in New Mexico, the Eiteljorg Museum Indian Art Market in Indiana, the Autry Museum Los Angeles, and the Cherokee Art Market in Oklahoma. A reception with Jones is set for 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Gaitan, a Jackson Hole native, brings

edginess to her acrylic inkblot-like paintings. She was voted 2015’s “Best Emerging Artist” in Planet Jackson Hole’s annual poll. Another wildlife painter, Teshia, of Montana, has a motto of “live colorfully,” Warren said. “You can see that in her art,” he said. “There’s a nice energy to it. There’s almost a vibration to her work.” Both Gaitan and Teshia will be at the gallery for a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16. George Jones is an oil painter who will be in the gallery to showcase his latest work. Hailing from Texas, Jones uses bright

colors to reimagine Western imagery as whimsical. His paintings range from depictions of cows, moose, horses and bison to well-dressed women. A reception for his work is slated from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. Caswell will be sculpting in the gallery during the festival from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21. His work captures special movements gained from his outdoorsy childhood and an apprenticeship in taxidermy. The gallery also has an original oil painting by Fall Arts Festival featured artist Billy Schenck. “First Water,” from 1988, is a 60-by-60-inch Southwestern piece of two Native American women bringing the first water of the day to the reservation. Schenck is known as one of the founders of the contemporary “pop” Western movement. A longtime resident of Jackson Hole, he now lives in New Mexico. Grand Teton Gallery has planned a full slate of events during the festival. The gallery will also participate in the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk on Friday, Sept. 11, and the swan song Art Brunch Gallery Walk on Sunday, Sept. 20.

At Wild by Nature it’s ‘All About the Light’ Wild by Nature 95 W. Deloney Ave. 307-733-8877 WildByNatureShop.com By Kate Hull

ot many people can say they have seen more than 200 sunrises in Grand Teton National Park over the past year. But for award-winning landscape and wildlife photographer Henry H. Holdsworth, catching that perfect lighting is the key to capturing a must-see image. “My philosophy is that the most important ingredient is the light,” Holdsworth said. “Especially when I am shooting in the natural world, to me that is the most important element.” “All About the Light,” Holdsworth’s Fall Arts Festival show at his gallery, Wild by Nature, will take viewers into the wee hours of a wintery morning in Grand Teton National Park, with temperatures 25 below zero, and at twilight in Yellowstone, where wildlife cast shadows across the landscape. “I am always trying to capture that elusive magical light,” he said, “whether it be late evenings, a perfect sunrise or storms rolling through the mountains. That is what the show is all about.” Holdsworth will welcome guests to the gallery and sign his books during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11. Fall takes the photographer out into the field for the rest of the festival to capture the vivid colors and teach workshops. “I feel very fortunate that this is how I get to spend most of my days,” he said. “Photography is often an excuse to be out in nature, at any time of the day, and it teaches you to look at the world in a completely different way. Whether the details or the lighting, you look at everything much more intently than the average person passing through.” A biologist with a background in animal behavior and environmental education, Holdsworth is known for his ability to vividly capture wildlife and wilderness landscapes. He has spent more than 25 years photographing those subjects and has specialized in capturing images of threatened species such as the grizzly bear, bald eagle, bison and trumpeter swan. His work has been showcased in National Geographic and National Wildlife and displayed in renowned museums such as the Smithsonian National Museum of

Henry Holdsworth’s photograph “Diamond Dust in the Aspen Grove” is slightly out of focus and printed on canvas, giving a painterly quality to the frosty winter scene. “The light was just amazing that particular morning,” he said.

Natural History in Washington, D.C. His latest show will feature a number of classic wildlife shots, such as red foxes, a frosty bison on a 20-below morning and a pair of mountain bluebirds sharing a branch. “This is the first time I have ever caught a male and a female mountain bluebird on the same branch at the same time in the early morning light,” Holdsworth said. The photograph is called “A Perfect Match.” In the gallery it is displayed as an 8-by-10-inch print, but it is available in a variety of sizes. “Diamond Dust in the Aspen Grove,” a 30-by-50-inch abstract photograph on canvas, captures a frosty morning with an aspen grove slightly out of focus, giving the image a painterly impression that the work could be an

oil or watercolor. “The light was just amazing that particular morning,” Holdsworth said. “All the frost crystals were floating around the air around me, and it felt like I was in a snow globe.” He is also displaying a few black-and-white landscapes that he referred to as “getting back to his roots.” “I started out doing mostly large-format black-andwhite landscapes,” he said, “before I got sidetracked with color and wildlife when I moved here in the 1980s. It has been fun to mix it up a bit. “The Fall Arts Festival is a fun and a nice time to roll out new work and hopefully have a fresh take on old subjects,” he said, “as well as provide some new things no one has seen.”

Daly’s project evolves into gallery

Daly Projects 125 E. Pearl Ave. 307-699-7933 DalyArtistRep.com By Richard Anderson

ackson Hole has no shortage of galleries. And yet art booster Meg Daly has managed to find a previously unoccupied niche to fill. The contemporary art instigator’s Daly Projects opened in February specifically to represent up-and-coming Jackson Hole talent. The two artists she will feature during the 2015 Fall Arts Festival are representative of the range she seeks. Pamela Gibson, who has been making art for 30-plus years, recently started using encaustic to create deeply hued abstractions that suggest landscapes and skyscapes; Scotty Craighead, a 26-year-old graduate of Colorado College, creates meticulous photo collages that often look both like satellite images of landmasses and microscopic views of biological structures. Their show, “Time Sensitive: Abstracted Landscapes,” opened Sept. 3 with a reception (see below), but it will remain up through the Friday, Sept. 11, Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk — for which Daily is teaming with Pearl Street Market — and for the Wednesday, Sept. 16, Art Walk. The rest of Daly’s current stable of artists is Eleanor Anderson, Camille Davis, Mark Morgan Dunstan, Katy Ann Fox, Kelly Halpin, Todd Ko-

“I love beautiful work,” said Meg Daly, owner of Daly Projects, the gallery she opened in February.

sharek, Ed Lavino, Rebecca Bird Mortensen and Mike Tierney. Daly was born in Salt Lake City and grew up in Jackson Hole, graduating from high school here in 1987. Her mother is a potter and an uncle is a sculptor, “so art was in our lives in the practical, tactile way.” But her first love was theater, and after graduating from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, she went to New York City, where she landed an internship with a performance art group. “That was my way into the art world,” she said. While in New York she also took advantage of the visual art opportunities, visiting galleries and going to museums.

“There was so much to see, and I loved it,” Daly said. “I just dove into it.” Despite the thrill of the metropolitan art scene, the mountains of Jackson Hole — and the birth of her nephew — beckoned her back to the valley. “And my friends here were telling me, ‘Jackson has gotten really hip. You could make a go of it here.’ So I came back and pretty shortly after that got a space in the Factory Studios,” a shared workspace for artists in all sorts of mediums and genres. That gave her a front-row seat on all the remarkable things Jackson’s creative set was doing, especially in the visual arts, she said. “Here were all these young

artists trying to talk about the art world at large,” she said. It was exciting to get involved in this latest round of dialogue about what role art can serve in the community, what it could be in a traditionally Western outpost, how audiences and consumers could be turned on to new kinds of art that were still of and about Jackson Hole but that came from a fresh, contemporary perspective. She engaged in that process by launching a series of discussions called “Culture Front” — later the title of her blog. She wrote about contemporary art and artists and arranged for meetings between aspiring artists and potential investors and collectors.

Daly Projects — which occupies a crisp, clean, 400-squarefoot below-grade space that is around the back of 125 E. Pearl and down a flight of stairs — is the “latest iteration” of those efforts. “It’s a funny world,” Daly said of the gallery scene. Every dollar is hard-earned. “So it’s all about the passion and the ideas and, yeah, that discourse that art can bring to people, challenging them maybe to look at things a different way.” And then there’s the joy of it. “I like beautiful work,” she said. “People know that about me, that I’m attracted to things that are aesthetically pleasing.” And so like-minded aesthetes now have a new, trusted source. It’s been a learning experience, Daly said, one of the most important lessons being that selling art is about building trusting relationships. “It’s not just a body at the desk,” she said. “It’s more than that. It’s building that relationship. “I think one of things I’m striving to do is to make this gallery down to earth and really welcoming. There are people who might feel intimidated in a gallery. Here they can take a look, talk to me, and it demystifies the whole process. … They want the gallery to be a trusted guide that helps them. “It’s funny,” she said. “I was just talking with a friend — she was trying to be supportive — I said, ‘I have a lot on my plate,’ and she asked, ‘Can we get someone to work for you?’ But, no, I want to be here. That’s the fun part — being there.”

Two artists, two approaches to the landscape By Richard Anderson

or Pamela Gibson and Scotty Craighead, making art is a time-consuming process demanding thousands of little decisions. Gibson works in encaustic, the ancient medium of pigment mixed with beeswax. “I love the luminosity,” she said, “the layering, the transparency.” First she builds those layers up, using not just wax but also embedding material into it. Then she starts taking away. “I go back, spending many hours scraping away, find things underneath,” she said. “You can make the edges really soft or really hard. It allows for a lot of freedom.” Deciding when a work is done is one of the most difficult things about what she does. She usually is left with large (24 by 30 inches is on the small side; 4 by 5 feet and larger is not unusual) vividly colored works that often suggest a landscape. The layers, the embedded objects, the physical dimension of the medium that allows for things to pop out or recede, feel like memory and the way the mind works. “That is a theme,” said Gibson, who also has served on the board of the Art Association and the Jackson Hole Public Art board, “but it’s not this … looking back and regretting or wishing for the past. It’s sort of reflecting on time passing. And I think that’s how I would talk about my work, as I’m looking at the way time passes, looking as much at the opportunities that the future can bring. “Memory can be a part of it,” she said, “but it’s more the way time passes, the way seasons change, the way day turns to night — more the cycle of time rather than just looking back.”

‘Time Sensitive: Abstracted Landscapes’ Work by Pamela Gibson and Scotty Craighead hangs through Oct. 3. Daly Projects will pair with Pearl Street Market for the Friday, Sept. 11, Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. Daly Projects also will participate in the Wednesday, Sept. 16, Art Walk.

Scotty Craighead’s “Wandering” is a 36-by-36-inch mixed media on panel. His work hangs in the show with Gibson’s.

Pamela Gibson’s “Tomorrow,” encaustic and mixed-media on board, is in the “Time Sensitive” show at Daly Projects.

Craighead’s process begins with photographs. Lots and lots of photographs. Mostly just of the ground beneath his feet. He takes those images, cuts them up and reassembles them in large images that might look like an orthographic photo of a landscape or a microscopic image of a cell. Or both at the same time. “I like it when if can relate more on the microscopic and macroscopic levels,” he said, “that it can be cellular … and also that it’s all made from this human level,” which introduces yet a third, personal scale to the work. The whole process takes time, he said, starting with taking the photographs. “I usually am looking for an edge, a good texture, color variations, something that stands out,” he said.

“Getting the photos takes the most time.” Then, back at his studio, a live-work space that overlooks the “Y” intersection,” he cuts and rips and lays them out in different shapes. “A lot of it works off edges and shapes that are already in there,” he said. “Depending on what the photos are of, that dictates the composition to me.” The jigsaw-puzzle part of the process is also time consuming, especially since Craighead likes to work big — 4 by 5 feet and even larger. The two artists’ work hangs side by side at the gallery Daly Projects. The joint show, “Time Sensitive: Abstracted Landscapes,” opened in early September and will remain up through the Fall Arts Festival. The gallery will participate in the Friday, Sept. 11 Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk and the Wednesday, Sept. 16, Art Walk. “I’m curious to see their work together,” gallery proprietor Meg Daly said in late August, before the show was hung. “Their palettes echo each other in interesting ways.”

fter more than 18 years capturing landscapes en plein air, Philadelphia artist Patricia Griffin found her calling: painting animals. “I was in South Dakota painting a landscape,” Griffin said, “when a herd of pronghorn came in and surrounded me. After that experience I realized I was supposed to paint animals.” Now her vibrant impressionistic depictions of wildlife and farm animals have earned her a dedicated following and exhibits in 11 museums, including the Women’s Museum of California, the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum and Texas’ International Museum of Art. She’s represented at galleries such as Jackson’s Rare Gallery of Fine Art. Griffin will be heading to Jackson — her home away from home, as she calls it — to attend Fall Arts Festival events at Rare, including two days of plein air painting on the deck overlooking Broadway and Town Square. “The deck at Rare is the best studio in Jackson, because it looks right over the square,” Griffin said. “Since I now paint in the studio it is great to be out and paint while the kids run around and people ask questions,” she said. “You really do paint to share your work, so this gives me a time to connect with collectors and people who have an interest in what I do.” Griffin credits her use of vibrant colors and her portrayal of depth in the animals she paints to her background in plein air painting, which allowed her to learn much about wildlife in their natural habitats. “The colors themselves next to each other create energy,” she said, “and I utilize that energy with the subject of the animals to make them have a life all their own created through the colors and strokes.” Griffin strives to treat each animal she paints as a unique personality, and that helps viewers feel more connected to her subjects. “When you see any of the pieces Patricia paints,” said Hollee Armstrong, co-owner of Rare Gallery with her husband, Rick, who also is an artist, “she almost personifies them and their gentle nature, their curi-

osity and their innocence. It is as if she is an animal whisperer.” The works are given human names to further the individuality and personality of the animal on the canvas. One example is “Lewis and Clark,” a 72-by-48-inch oil on canvas of two mountain goats that Griffin will showcase during the festival. “We are trained to think of a herd of bison and not just identify with one of them like we do with a dog,” she said. “They have a unique personality. I hope to encourage the viewer to get that connection and start to see them that way.” Griffin will attend receptions at Rare, additional op-

portunities for collectors and art enthusiasts to meet her and hear more about the stories behind each piece. She will join Rick Armstrong, a contemporary photographer, and bronze sculptor Mark Yale Harris for a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16. Rare’s bread and butter is representing artists such as Griffin who give nods to traditional Western art styles while bringing out contemporary elements. “We are pushing very hard to bring contemporary works to Jackson that have elements of the West but may not be traditional ‘Western artists,’” Rick Armstrong said. He will showcase his latest work during Rare’s Fall Arts Festival events. As a continuation of his series called “Whose The Beast?” he will display conceptual photographs that delve into humanity’s relationship with animals, from pets to prey. “The Fall Arts Festival is a wonderful time in town to just celebrate art,” Armstrong said. “We are very fortunate to have such a small town with such a great art presence that can still grow and flourish in different spaces, from Western all the way to contemporary.” Rare will host 10 artists during the Fall Arts Festival opening night Palates and Palettes gallery walk. The gallery also will host a closing cocktail party on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Field steps out front door to find art in Kelly Intencions 160A W. Broadway 307-733-9290 Intencions.com

Outstanding Field New work by Wendell Field Opening 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10 By appointment Saturday, Sept. 12, and Sunday, Sept. 13

By Kelsey Dayton

rtist Wendell Field doesn’t have to travel far when he’s seeking inspiration. The Kelly resident finds it in his garden at the yurt park or along the roadside when he’s out walking his dog, Edgar. “I want my work to be authentic to who I am,” he said. “It’s pretty much a reflection of my life.” Field will show new work in a variety of sizes from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 10, and by appointment on Saturday, Sept. 12, and Sunday, Sept. 13, at Intencions on West Broadway. The show will feature several watercolor paintings from Africa. Field will also display a woodblock print, showing how the process creates variations in each print. And there will be about 10 new oil paintings inspired by the Jackson area, in particular Kelly. “I think Kelly is one of the last soulful places in Jackson,” Field said. “Everything is getting slick and fancy. It’s kind of real here. There’s old buildings and people who live harmoniously with the landscape, especially in the yurt park.” Most of the scenes he has captured in paint for the show he experienced within five minutes of walking from his own yurt. “I’m continuously blown away with where I live,” he said. “Every time I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, look at that.’ My work comes from a lived experience.” Field grew up on a dairy farm in Michigan. He knew he wanted to be an artist, but his parents encouraged him to study business. He graduated with a degree in agriculture business from the

do to all be in harmony,” he said. In Jackson, which has been his home for about 25 years, Field struggled at first to find his voice. He quit going to galler-

ies and looking at other people’s art for a while. He wanted to discover what type of art he could create when he was influenced only by his surroundings. He wanted to make art that was authentic. He didn’t want to paint tipis that didn’t exist in front of the Tetons. His work today is representational, but with abstract qualities. He’s interested in the relationships between light and dark colors — something that, when he sees it in a scene, draws him to capture it in paint. He likes to play with color. He also likes to layer paint on the canvas. In some places he might leave some of the canvas exposed, while in others the paint is built up thick. But he doesn’t think too hard about his process or brushstrokes. Instead he tries to paint more from the heart than from the head. “That’s what I’m striving for in my paintings,” he said, “to have that authenticity and that integrity.” In recent years Field started adding more signs of the human element to his landscapes. That human presence shows itself in yurts and gardens and old buildings, all of which reflect the funkiness and soulfulness of Kelly. It’s a place where Field can live simply and sit in the stillness, absorbing his surroundings. Even at home in his yurt the peace and beauty are able to permeate the canvas walls that separate him from the outside. Sometimes all he has to do is open the door to find inspiration.

Brookover: New photos from old ways Brookover Gallery 125 N. Cache St. 307-732-3988 BrookoverGallery.com By Mark Huffman

t isn’t that photographer David Brookover has been left behind by photo technology, but that he’s watched it go without much regret. Not in all ways, though. Brookover is not a photo Luddite. The artist-owner of the Brookover Gallery in Jackson will use the digital equipment that has come to dominate the art, and he’s no stranger to the advantages of the computer in making images. His current preference for black-and-white images doesn’t mean he has no color to show. But Brookover loves old styles — both printing processes and the artist’s approach to making an image — and he has built a business on the faith that collectors share his appreciation. The digital approach, he said, is often to shoot and shoot, thinking, “I’ll fix it later” in the computer editing. The result is that “people tend to get lazy” in their photography, he said. With the bulky 8-by-10 film-exposing view camera he prefers, Brookover frames his photo and hesitates, thinking, “No — just wait, wait for the shot to be right.” “I’d rather wait for that one great shot than take 500 bad ones,” he said. The go-slow approach “is very contemplative” and encourages patience and attention. Brookover’s 8-by-10s are sometimes printed as enlargements, in the traditional film-to-print way. But they are often used as the starting point — as are his digital images — to create secondgeneration negatives that are 30-by-34 inches or larger, which he then uses to make contact prints that nearly exactly re-create the original fine image. “If it’s going to be really big, I shoot

A view over String Lake: Brookover travels around the world, but often shoots near home.

Photographer David Brookover creates big photos using a combination of computer technology and the old film techniques that go back to the start of the art in the first part of the 19th century. He finds the old methods still offer many advantages.

film,” he said. “Film has a quality — it’s hard to beat the 8-by-10” for image quality. Brookover’s printing process is also from the past. He uses the silver gelatin process — the black-and-white process that in the 20th century came to be the only process — but also has gone back further to some of its 19th-century predecessors. There are platinum prints, which have a slightly blue cast but provide the finest detail and tonal gradation of any chemical photo process; palladium prints, similar to platinum but with a slightly warmer tone; and the early 19thcentury bromoil process, which creates slightly softer prints, more “painterly” than the sharp-edged later processes. Brookover also loves the photogravure process, which combines photo and lithographic printing. A photo image is transferred to a metal plate that is inked and used to make a direct impression. An expert printer can fine-tune the impression by wiping ink from the plate before it is laid on the paper. And the paper is Japanese kozo, handmade one sheet at a time by a technique hundreds of years old. The older methods make durable and beautiful images.

“These images will last hundreds and hundreds of years and will retain their value,” Brookover said. Collectors, even those recently introduced to the old ways, quickly become fascinated, he said, “and they really want to have these older processes. It’s like a handmade chair compared to IKEA.”

“I’d rather wait for that one great shot than take 500 bad ones.” — David Brookover photographer, gallery owner

Brookover was an acupuncturist who went to Japan for training when his “advanced amateur” photos were seen by agents in Tokyo. Before long Brookover was traveling the U.S. for Fuji, shooting all the film he wanted to make advertising and stock images for the film and camera giant. He amassed a huge

inventory and furthered his skills, seeing many places he would later re-photograph with different techniques. Brookover’s portfolio is dominated by scenes of the American West, but he also shows photos of Japan, Italy and Iceland, of wildlife and horses. His latest project is setting up a studio so he can explore still-lifes. Finding new subjects and, especially, ways to record them has kept Brookover hard at work and happy. “If I didn’t explore so many different things, I’d be tired by now,” he said. “But with all these places and processes, it inspires me.” As he has in recent autumns Brookover will host a special party for the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, set this year for Friday, Sept. 11. While other galleries offer free food and drink that night, Brookover will ask $5 to get into his place, with the money raised supporting the Teton Raptor Center. Amangani and the Four Seasons will provide refreshments. The event is billed as Mocha’s Bash for the Birds, with Brookover’s constant dog companion lending her name and presiding.

Fresh eyes,

Fresh art

Emerging artists find support and inspiration in Jackson Hole. By Brielle Schaeffer

mid its nationally renowned galleries and established artists Jackson also has a wealth of fresh talents who choose to call the Hole home. Here are profiles of three up-and-coming Teton County artists, each of whom works in a different medium.

Katy Ann Fox

Katy Ann Fox has always had an eye for color and for making things her own. The 28-year-old painter used to embellish her clothing before going to school each day. “My mom said, ‘Why do you keep ruining your clothes?’” Fox said. But she always told her mother she was “making them better.” From her hometown of Grangeville, Idaho, to the big city of San Francisco and finally to the open spaces of Jackson Hole, Fox has been exploring landscapes through her own interpretations. “I feel like I can play with the landscape and move things how I want them,” Fox said. “The landscape is where you get to really compose and study relationships between your 2-D frame.” That’s something she has been trying to push further in her paintings through the use of texture, she said. Fox moved to Jackson after completing her undergraduate degree at the University of Idaho and a master’s degree at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. “I missed the mountain air but wanted a mentality of people who respect the arts,” Fox said. “Jackson had both those things.” Her paintings look like snapshots. In a recent exhibit at Daly Projects, images of mountains stood alongside those of electrical boxes. One oil painting, “On the Way to Breakfast,” shows red and orange flowers growing out of a crack in the cement near the foundation of a building. “I am trying to notice the positive things in the world around me and share that with other people,” Fox said. She likes to paint the true imagery of what’s around her, she said, which includes stunning views and sometimes more mundane sights.

Katy Fox’s “Easy on the Eyes” is a 12-by-12-inch oil.

Her pieces are “a storybook of the places I go and where this life takes me,” she said. And her stories are being noticed. She was recently named Artist of the Year by the Art Association of Jackson Hole, and one of her paintings is featured on the label of JH Stillworks. “Paint is just a medium that makes sense to me,” Fox said. “It’s a communication tool.” Fox will paint outdoors on Saturday, Sept. 12, at Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park for the final installment of the 2015 Artists in the Environment series (see page 7A).

Taryn Boals

Taryn Boals has an emotional connection to horses. She draws them instead of self-portraits. “They’re like a mirror to you,” she said. “They’re very hypersensitive. They keep you centered, almost.” Boals, 30, knew she wanted to be an artist since she was 4 years old. She also became obsessed with horses at about that age, and her two loves went together perfectly. “People think, at that age, ‘It’s a girl thing,’” she said. “‘You’ll outgrow it.’ I never outgrew it.” Growing up in rural Illinois she always had horses

around. She learned to draw from life, something that she still gets to do today at the Mead Ranch. Her work “is about horses but also about the process and an experimentation,” Boals said. “It’s about pushing myself conceptually and about the application and helping me translate the idea behind it.” She studied painting in college at Montana State University but found charcoal afterward and decided that was the best medium for her. She received her Master of Fine Arts from Northern Illinois University. “I love the history of the line,” Boals said. “It’s something that’s really graphic. It’s almost sculptural how you move it around.” She makes her own charcoal and occasionally her own paper. She is a self-described “geek” when it comes to her art supplies. Drawing with charcoal, as well as with permanent marker is also a way to push herself as an artist. “I can be a perfectionist at times,” she said. Boals likes to give herself a time limit and to use an unforgiving medium. She is immersed in art, and she likes it that way. When she’s not in her studio across from the Center for the Arts she works as the creative director at Mountain Trails Gallery. While her work has centered on horses, moving west to Jackson Hole has expanded her repertoire. She finds herself drawing wildlife such as bison now. “I’m more inspired by surrounding areas now,” she said. She will have an opening of her new drawings Saturday, Sept. 19, at Cowboy Coffee. “It’s stuff with a lot of grit to it,” she said.

Eleanor Anderson

Eleanor Anderson loves the look of things that are handmade. She prefers wobbly lines and organic brushstrokes over anything mechanical. And that fondness is carried across in her ceramic art. “I’m always trying to find that threshold,” the 26-year-old said, “of something that’s informed and something that is made by hand to capture the quality of a unique object.” Anderson studied printmaking and fiber art while at Colorado College, which ultimately influenced her work in ceramics. The designs on her pieces — like bicycle wheels and leaf shapes — are graphic. “It felt like I could draw from both those other See fresh EYES on 14D

By Claudia Martin

ore often than not galleries, including those at the Center for the Arts, don’t devote much space to new artists. Jackson Rising IV, the fourth annual Fall Arts Festival exhibition curated by the Art Association of Jackson Hole, offers prime wall space to nine ascending Jackson artists. “We were trying to answer this question of how to focus on the local population of artists for the Fall Arts Festival,” said Thomas Macker, gallery coordinator and photography manager at the nonprofit Art Association. “We wanted to give a voice to the people of Jackson and showcase what they are making, regardless of category.” Jackson Rising IV will hang from Sept. 11 to Oct. 2, with an opening reception set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11, during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. The show will be in the Art Association Gallery at the Center for the Arts. Even since Jackson Rising II, part of being selected for the show has included being responsible for selecting nine artists for the following year’s show. “Let the index of artists grow organically by letting them choose,” Macker said. “The only control our staff has is curation.” This year’s artists are Eleanor Anderson, David Cleeland, Sage Craighead, Calee Dunlap, Robin Gleason, Rosanna Mitchell, Aude-Noelle Nevius, Carrie Schwartz and Erin Smith. The art in Jackson Rising IV isn’t limited to one medium or genre. The point is to showcase a diverse blend of painting, mixed media, photography, sculpture and ceramics. Merging art and technology, the exhibition also welcomes site-specific installations that use such ephemeral materials as light and sound. Ben Carlson, one of last year’s artists, said he chose Anderson for this year’s show because she was new to

the Jackson Hole community and could use the exposure, but also because she seemed thoughtful, innovative and “more dedicated than most in her practice.” Another of this year’s artists, Carrie Schwartz, moved to the valley in March 2014 to work in the education department at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. “I have always had a personal art practice,” she said, “but I have, indeed, kept my practice very personal. This will be one of the first occasions I’ve shared my work with the public.” Drawn to collecting and reconstituting found objects, Schwartz attempts to assign new context and

meaning to items that have been cast aside as “waste” and to create collages and sculptural pieces. “As printed encyclopedias become an increasingly defunct medium in the face of the Internet,” she said, “there are quite a few of these books floating around in strange places. … I enjoy intervening before they reach the trash heap.” Her recycled books and other materials find a new context when she turns them into humorous and thought-provoking art. Once the nine are selected, Macker serves as a middleman, visiting studios to coordinate a cohesive group exhibition. The curating process continues when Macker and Jackson Rising IV artists come together to merge ideas and develop a fully formed show. These are not seasoned artists and marketers, so they aren’t afraid to try new ideas and experiment. These artists, chosen by artists, will preview the art of tomorrow. Carlson said the concept of artists nominating other artists is a productive thing for the Jackson art community. “Because it empowers local artists,” he said, “to help lift each other and illuminate the potentially hidden hardworking artists that they are connected to.” The collaboration of diverse art in a compact space is an important aspect of the show. Instead of isolating artists from each other, they learn to communicate and often share their individual concepts. “Every artist shares a snippet of their body of work,” Macker said, “decontextualized in a way you can experience, shown in a more obtuse line of thinking.”

Vecsey’s horizons entrance at Piggott

Tayloe Piggott Gallery 62 S. Glenwood 307-733-0555 TayloePiggottGallery.com By Richard Anderson

ou could call Susan Vecsey a landscape painter. Although that would be oversimplifying it. Vecsey, whose work hangs in Tayloe Piggott Gallery throughout the 2015 Fall Arts Festival, starts with a photograph of the land. But then, after a great deal of thought and study, she reduces it to two or three or maybe four fields of color. “I take the shapes out of the landscape,” she said. “In the end it’s not about actual places. … I’m interested in something more universal.” Vecsey came to painting late in life. After a period of experimenting and searching for a style and a subject, she struck upon her current method. An exhibit at an esteemed New York City gallery resulted in 2008, which is where Tayloe Piggott, owner and operator of the Jackson gallery on Glenwood Street, first came upon her. “I very much appreciated her style,” Piggott said. “I immediately reached out to her.” But Vecsey had an exclusive arrangement with the gallery. So Piggott waited and watched. “I was very patient,” she said. “I’ve learned over the years to just continually pursue someone if the work really resonates with me. … [Vecsey] was always in the back of my mind.” It took seven years before an opportunity presented itself, but now Tayloe Piggott is the first gallery to represent Vecsey in the Western states. Vecsey’s photo prototypes come from all over: Long Island, New York,

Susan Vecsey’s abstract works will hang in Tayloe Piggott Gallery until Oct. 10. Wherever Vecsey goes, the varying horizon lines inspire the New York painter.

a hotbed of abstract expressionism where she has her studio; elsewhere in New England and Europe, where she has traveled extensively; even Montana and Wyoming, the land that inspired one of her recent works. While traveling, she sketches and takes notes about landforms, colors, shadows, compositions and patterns. Once back in the studio she will “think about the image for a long time,” she said. “I’ll think about what is the right scale or the right size.” She concentrates on one painting at a time. Or, if she does work on more than one at a time, “they are very different,” she said. “It takes time for something to settle

in as a good idea.” Once an idea takes hold, she builds a frame — custom made for the composition still percolating — and stretched the linen. Next comes colors. She does lots of color studies to find the three or four that will “lock together,” she said. Vecsey rarely is satisfied with what you might call “green” or “blue” or “pink.” Her colors have nuances that defy description. Yellow-green is a very specific yellow-green of one certain early-spring morning; an orange-gold is the orange-gold of a summer sunset glinting off a bend in a certain river. The horizon — a horizon — is a frequent trope.

“There are all kinds of metaphors that go with depicting a horizon,” Vecsey said. Colors gain depth through layering — sheets of thinned oils that work almost like watercolors. Some layers bleed through. Edges may be soft and feathered. Occasionally she’ll leave a section blank, allowing the prepared material below to stand and speak for itself. When she started down this path, she said, her colors tended to be muted, more moody. Her New York dealer put her in a show of tonalist painters who explored some of those darker shades of emotion. “There’s still an aspect of that,” she said. “Even though I’ve introduced brighter colors, there are still some tonal aspects. … I still love that moodiness. There’s something about that that feels right.” Along with size and scale and color, there’s composition. Vecsey’s fields of color feel ideally proportioned, or at least carefully worked out. “It’s all important,” she said. “The composition has to be right. The color has to be right.” What she doesn’t say is as important as what she does. “I never want to force an image on people,” she said. “I don’t want to lead the viewer, I want the viewer to bring their own impressions of things.” Which is another thing Piggott finds captivating in Vecsey’s work. Living surrounded by spectacular landscapes, the gallerist is attracted by the artist’s abstracted landforms. “It’s almost a dream,” Piggott said, “perhaps a moment when that light is so perfect, that horizon line becomes a horizon line in our minds. They’re just so beautiful because they’re open to the viewer for interpretation.” Vecsey’s “A Selection of Paintings” went on display in late August and continues through Oct. 10.

Jewelers to show wares at Native JH

Native Jackson Hole 10 W. Broadway 307-733-4069 NativeJH.com

Jewelry trunk shows Elena Kriegner Saturday, Sept. 12, through Tuesday, Sept. 15

By Kate Hull

nside Native Jackson Hole the rich customs and long-standing traditions of the American West reign supreme. American-made paintings, artifacts and jewelry from a range of artists and designers capture the culture of the region, both past and present. During the 31st annual Fall Arts Festival, Native Jackson Hole will continue its celebration of Western art with artists, jewelry designers and others who will appear in the gallery to showcase their latest work and share their craft. “Native JH is about artisans that create and produce their pieces in the United States,” said Kathy Morgan, the manager at Native Jackson Hole. “We pride ourselves on having exclusive relationships with unusual and interesting artists that are not seen in other stores or galleries.” Native Jackson Hole, opened in 1983 by Safaa and Jim Darwiche under the name A Touch of Class, is the Westernfocused sister shop of the original gallery, which features more contemporary jewelry lines like Swarovski, Pandora and Ani. For this year’s Fall Arts Festival, Native will host three trunk shows with master jewelry designers from the Southwest, New York and right here in Teton County. Elena Kriegner, originally from Austria but now working and living in New York City, will be at Native from Saturday, Sept. 12, through Tuesday, Sept. 15. Known for its versatile and technical style, Kriegner’s jewelry is all one-of-akind. Her work ranges from geometri-

cal gemstone rings set in sterling silver and gold to her colorful travel-inspired “Voyage” collection featuring pendants, rings and brooches. “All of our artists are creative, innovative and unique,” Morgan said. “We strive for one-of-a-kind pieces of high quality and integrity. Since each are hands-on in their own workshop, they have complete control over the entire design and jewelry-making process. The end result is timeless, inspiring works of art created from the heart that will last for generations.” Annie Band — a Jackson Hole artist known for her talismans and designs in silver, gold and bronze featuring precious gems — will host a trunk show on Wednesday, Sept. 16. To add a more intimate, personal touch to each piece, she places inspirations, quotes or poetry

on the reverse of each one. Combined with the intricate designs, Band creates “powerful, wearable talismans,” she says in her artist statement. “She has a connection with nature that she brings to her pieces like no other artist we have in the gallery,” Morgan said. “Her pieces have messages written on the back that inspire and encourage the wearer with love, kindness, joy, courage, wisdom, power and even strength.” Each talisman is made from metals and stones that are either recycled or lab-grown, making them sustainable pieces with no environmental impact. The talismans are also a nod to the ancient art of wearing jewelry for inspiration. “When customers meet with her and she helps them choose a piece of jewelry, it’s like they are taking a little piece of

nature home with them to inspire them each day,” Morgan said. The third trunk show will be held Thursday, Sept. 17, through Saturday, Sept. 19, and will feature American Indian artist and jewelry designer Calvin Begay, of New Mexico. Begay’s designs capture his American Indian heritage with wildlife designs, vibrant colors and traditional shapes with a contemporary twist. Begay also creates custom pieces and has worked with couples to design their wedding sets. “Each artist will be on hand to answer questions about their work and assist customers in finding the perfect piece for themselves or whomever they are shopping for,” Morgan said. “Meeting the artist is a great time to create a custom piece with them for that special occasion.” Native Jackson Hole will also welcome a host of other artists throughout the festival. Stop by Sept. 11 through Sept. 13, for example, to meet landscape oil artist Richard Lloyd Biddinger as he paints in the gallery. Light refreshments and champagne will be offered during these opportunities to peruse the paintings and jewelry throughout the gallery.

Navajo weaver to visit Two Grey Hills

Two Grey Hills Indian Arts and Jewelry 110 E. Broadway 307-733-2677 FineIndianArt.com By Shannon Sollitt

ach year for the Fall Arts Festival, Two Grey Hills Indian Arts and Jewelry brings a Native American artist into the gallery to give the public a “snapshot of the process,” said Scot Mattheis, son of the gallery’s owner, Gary Mattheis. This year’s guest does not speak a word of English, Mattheis said, so she is bringing her daughter to translate. Mary H. Yazzie is a weaver from the Navajo tribe in New Mexico. “Navajos are the only ones who weave anymore,” Mattheis said. And Navajo weavers are few and far between. When the gallery opened in 1976, Mattheis said, there were about 2,500 Navajo weavers in the Southwest. Today there are about 500. “This is an exceptional art form, and it’s becoming more rare,” Mattheis said. He estimates that there are only about 300 authentic Navajo rugs in Jackson Hole. The gallery gets its name from the Two Grey Hills region of New Mexico where Yazzie lives and works. The area is known for producing the most finely woven rugs. “They were my grandma’s favorite type of rug,” Mattheis said of gallery founder Elfriede Jourdan. Yazzie trades her rugs at the Toadlena Trading Post in Newcomb, New Mexico. The trading post has provided art to Two Grey Hills and connected the gallery to Native American artists for 15 years. Its owner, Mark Winter, is the “foremost authority on Navajo weaving,” Mattheis said. Winter will bring a few rugs similar to the one Yazzie will be weaving because she will not complete her work during her short time at the gallery. “It’s a long process,” Mattheis said. As Yazzie works, people visiting the gallery will be able to talk to her and her daughter and learn about their artistic process. Native American jewelry will also be in the spotlight during this year’s Fall Arts Festival. Matthies said

Navajo weaver Mary Yazzie will be at two Grey Hills Indian Arts and Jewelry during the Fall Arts Festival. While there she will work on a rug much like this round Ganado. Her daughter will come with her to translate as she talks to visitors.

Jean Waddell of Waddell Trading Company will bring “the finest collectible jewelry” from some of the most famous Native American jewelers. Gary Mattheis has maintained relationships with Native American artists and traders since the gallery’s birth in 1976. He and his mother, Jourdan, transformed their dry cleaning shop into a Native American arts gallery after falling in love with what they saw being produced by the Southwest tribes. “There’s no way I could establish the relationships we have without Dad and Grandma,” said Scot Mat-

theis, who now works at the gallery full-time alongside his father. Father and son continue to develop relationships with established and new Native American artists, making sure they have some of the finest work represented in their gallery. “There’s not a very large Native American arts community,” the youngest Mattheis said. That makes the art Two Grey Hills makes even more unusual. “You just won’t find pottery or weaving like this … for hundreds of miles,” Mattheis said.

they’re thrown,” Anderson said. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Anderson ended up in Kelly after college. “I have been so impressed and grateful to the artist community here,” she said. “There’s so many wonderful people.” When she’s not throwing pieces, firing a kiln or adding designs to her work, Anderson teaches classes at the Art Association of Jackson Hole, although she feels like she could be taught more herself, she said. “I feel like I am still learning so much about ceramics because there is so much to know and there are so many different kinds of firings,” she said. She will be learning more soon: She plans to spend the fall doing an internship at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts in Tennessee, which she described as “summer camp for young artists.” Anderson’s work will be on display during the Fall Arts Festival at the Art Association of Jackson Hole’s show Jackson Rising.

disciplines of fiber and printmaking” for her ceramic work, she said. “I loved that you could use those marks in clay and it could be stuck there, and then you could use the object, you can handle it. “The objects I make are meant to be handled and used. It’s art that you can live with.” Anderson recently created a whole body of work in black and white to give herself a challenge. “It was an exploration into markmaking and building on a graphic vocabulary,” she said. “By setting limits and pushing back I develop new forms, new pieces.” One form that grew out of that work was an oval-shaped container made by throwing cylinders on the wheel and then squishing them while they were still pliable. “I love the shape that they make, and I love the idea of altering things after

West Lives On ... Contemporary

West Lives On Contemporary 55 N. Glenwood St. 307-734-2888 WestLivesOn.com By Jennifer Dorsey

o, there are not two Colorado artists named Joe Velazquez showing their paintings in two Glenwood Street galleries. There’s a Joe Velazquez whose traditional mountain man, voyager and American Indian scenes hang at West Lives On. He’s the one who painted “Season of the Mountain Men,” the 2010 Fall Arts Festival featured artwork. And next door at West Lives On Contemporary there’s a Joe Velazquez whose American Indian portraits have a dreamy quality, somewhat like old photographs set amid bright reds, yellows and blues. Not traditional. They’re the same guy. It’s just that you may not be familiar with the Velazquez in the contemporary gallery. The paintings there are a new foray for him, and this will be their first Fall Arts Festival. ”The style is looser and more bold, and the color is interpretive,” Velazquez said. He is fascinated by how aboriginal people all over the world use art to “decorate and embellish everything they come in contact with,” he said. “Their lodging, their clothing, their weapons … it’s absolutely fascinating, their sense of design. “The same thing holds true for Plains Indians. I want to celebrate that.” West Lives On Contemporary invites festivalgoers to stop by to see diverse works by artists who, like Velazquez, are giving modern twists to wildlife, horses, landscapes and other themes familiar in the West. One is Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey, known for her vibrant French-dye-onsilk paintings. Her “Forever Jackson,”

featuring a moose, was the 2014 Fall Arts Festival featured painting.

or koi. And James Moore translates wildlife into mixed-media wall hangings. “They’ll all be bringing new work in,” said Terry Ray, owner of both West Lives On galleries. West Lives On added a contemporary sister gallery about four years ago. “It was a good decision,” Ray said. The difference between traditional and contemporary art “lends itself to two distinct spaces.” And it gives Velazquez, a long-timer

in the traditional space, a new venue. He said it’s good for him as an artist to switch things up in his work. “People think artists do one thing,” Velazquez said, “but they actually have a variety of abilities, styles and interests.” Yet in the business world of selling art they may not get a chance to show their versatility, he said, “because collectors like them to do the same thing over and over. “I’ve done some very different things over my career that never get to the galleries,” the artist said. “They’re in my collection or other people’s collections. When I do that it keeps me fresh. I’ve been in this for a long, long time. If I don’t take some sort of break from traditional art I find myself starting to labor over it.” In the case of traditional versus contemporary, Velazquez said, “I’m just tickled to do both things. A lot of artists wouldn’t dare try it.” Rather than spotlighting Velazquez or any other particular artist in the contemporary gallery with special shows during the Fall Arts Festival, Ray treats the 10 days as one big all-artist show bookended by special events. For the Palettes and Palates Gallery Walk on Friday, Sept. 11, the refreshments will be provided by the gallery’s neighbor across the street, the Wort Hotel. West Lives On Contemporary this year has one artist, Cawdrey, who will participate in the Quick Draw Show and Sale on Town Square on Saturday, Sept. 19. “Our next focus goes to Sunday the 20th, when we have the all-gallery open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.,” Ray said. There will be bloody marys and mimosas, and Wort Hotel staffers will be cooking omelets to order. “We will probably have at least 15 of the artists there,” Ray said. “So come in and meet the artists and have brunch with us and buy some art.”

paper and steel

Region’s artists work with ever-growing list of alternate materials. By Shannon Sollitt

rt, like life, is enriched by failure and experimentation. That’s why Jackson artist Shannon Troxler Thal began working with encaustic. The ancient art form uses a combination of beeswax and pigment. But where paint dries, beeswax cools and hardens. “It’s a really playful medium,” Thal said. “It’s accidental, unforgiving.” For Thal encaustic offered a way to break out of her usual painting routine. Art, she said, is about the creative process, and working in encaustic is a constant reminder of that fact. An encaustic piece may never be fully finished. Layers of wax, oil paint, gold leaf and just about anything found in nature can add texture and depth. Encaustic may be an ancient medium — Thal said it dates back to the ancient Greeks — but it is one of many mediums in the world of fine art. As part of the last of the Old West, Jackson is renowned for its traditionally Western art forms: landscapes in oils and watercolors on vast canvases, Native American jewelry and weaving, and life-size bronze sculptures of the Yellowstone region’s wildlife. A tour of the town’s galleries reveals, however, that oil paintings are sharing wall space with art made from glass, paper, metal and even digital monitors, like that of painter Tom Gilleon in Altamira Gallery.

Fading art form

Gilleon knew his art form was fading fast. “I saw the handwriting on the wall,” Gilleon said. “My profession was going very quickly into digital.” So the former Disney illustrator and designer sold his entire collection of Indian artifacts, bought the best digital equipment available and “became strictly a digital illustrator.” Digital art makes sense, Gilleon said, because all the artist has to do is “do art and just push ‘send.’” There is no need for wrapping, crating or shipping masterpieces around the world. But the convenience “does not diminish in any way the fact that this is fine art,” he said. “It can’t be copied.” On the contrary, he said digital artwork has allowed for even more possibilities and creativity in his work. A painting is stationary, after all. It can evoke only so many senses at a time, he said. A digital painting, on the other hand, breathes with life and movement. For example his “Hungry Fox Equinox,” which hangs at Altamira Gallery, is a digital installation of 24 paintings that fade in and out of one another to create a sort of “superslow-motion animation,” Gilleon said. The tipi in the frame is one of the piece’s only stationary elements. Around and inside of it the light changes, snow falls and the viewer is taken through an entire day in just a few minutes. Painting “Hungry Fox Equinox” on a flat surface would have restricted Gilleon too much. “I’m limited by having to depict one thing on a canvas,” he said. With digital artwork there are “no limits to what I can do, except my energy.” Still, he said he sees an interesting dichotomy in his subject matter and his chosen medium. His Native American grandmother instilled in him a love and fascination for Native American culture. And in the world of Western art there is always a high demand for American Indian-themed art. Gilleon’s subject matter, then, is historical, but he works hard “to make it appear traditional using the latest technology.”

The classic and the contemporary

Art Association gallery director Thomas Macker said Gilleon’s work is a good example of the intersection of classic Western and contemporary art. Its subject matter appeals to the “authentic Western art collector,” he said, while the medium appeals to the “new genre” art collector. Gilleon may be a full-time digital illustrator, but he will never completely give up on canvas. “I’ve got to have my canvas fix,” he said. Meanwhile, artist Rick Armstrong, co-owner of Rare

Shannon Troxler Thal runs her brush along a heated palette. She works in encaustic, a combination of beeswax and pigment that creates a sort of paint that cools and hardens instead of dries.

Gallery of Fine Art, creates mixed-media digital installations using photos as the foundation. The display appears to be more than 2-dimensional as images of the sky, the mountains and a foreground layer on top of each other. But a flat-screen monitor contains the images to one plane. Artists such as Robin Gleason use real-world light and space as critical elements of their work. Gleason’s handpainted prints hover inches off the wall in multiple layers, casting shadows on the wall behind them. Silhouettes of familiar landmarks like Snow King Mountain, Mount Moran and other peaks in the Teton Range protrude into the space surrounding them. “It relies heavily on negative space to be activated by

shadow play,” Macker said. The shadows cast by Gleason’s prints are as much a part of the pieces as the prints themselves. She even paints the backs of the cutouts to tint the shadows. Gleason’s multidimensional prints are on display at the Art Association and are for sale at Trio Fine Art. Macker said that while the Art Association’s current exhibition features plenty of classic media, including paintings, the association is “always pushing new media.” “Art can be 3-dimensional, printed, laser-cut steel,” he said. “It can be whatever.” And not all art belongs on walls. Some belongs on bodies. Every year during Fall Arts Festival the Western See paper on 15E

Fall doings at Diehl “Jeri Eisenberg: After Equinox” exhibit Sept. 11-Oct. 11 Benefits Endangered Western Forests

By Jennifer Dorsey

s outdoors lovers revel in Jackson Hole’s autumn colors, Diehl Gallery will tempt them to step inside with Jeri Eisenberg’s abstract treed landscapes. Ten mixed-media pieces by Eisenberg will be spotlighted in a solo show that opens Friday, Sept. 11. The artwork is autumnal, hence the show’s name: “After Equinox.” “When I first saw Jeri’s ‘After Equinox’ body of work, which is part of her ‘A Sojourn in Seasons’ series, I immediately thought it would make a beautiful Fall Arts Festival exhibition,” gallery owner Mariam Diehl said. “What more perfect way to celebrate fall in the Tetons than with an exhibition that examines trees during their fall glory?” It’s Eisenberg’s first solo exhibit at the gallery, which has represented her for about a year. Long an admirer of the upstate New York artist’s work, Diehl considered it serendipitous when Eisenberg emailed her in July 2014 to discuss representation. Diehl always assumed “Jeri” was a man and so was “gobsmacked,” she said, to call Eisenberg and hear a woman’s voice. “Once I got over her being a she — which was great for me, as I do make a point of trying to represent at high percentage of women artists — we moved forward and have had a great relationship ever since,” Diehl said. Eisenberg’s large-scale abstract images are photo-based, printed on Japanese kozo paper and infused with encaustic medium. In exhibitions the artist suspends them from acrylic bars with magnets so that they seem to float off the wall. “The underlying imagery is taken with an oversized pinhole or a defocused lens,” Diehl said. “While we intentionally don’t

exhibit photography at Diehl Gallery, Eisenberg’s work, while photographically based, really falls under our extensive mixed-media category.” The show’s opening coincides with the Fall Arts Festival’s Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. For refreshments Diehl Gallery is partnering with its new neighbor across the street on Broadway, the Mexican restaurant Hatch. “I think it’s going to be a really fun evening,” Diehl said. “We anticipate that margaritas will be flowing.” Throughout the run of “After Equinox,” which ends Oct. 11, Diehl will invite collectors who buy one of the pieces in the show to donate a portion of the price to American Forests’ Endangered Western Forests program. Buyers who do will

enjoy a tax benefit and the satisfaction of helping the region’s trees, which are at risk from bugs, diseases and fire. “The environment here in the Tetons and Yellowstone is so important to all of us who live here and to our visitors,” Diehl said. “We thought it was a perfect way to acknowledge that: an art exhibition that supports the survival of our forests.” Diehl fans who haven’t visited the gallery recently might also want to check out works by two other artists who are new to the gallery: Canadian Sarah Hillock and Atlanta’s Helen Durant. Both portray animals, though in different styles and mediums, and both have work hanging at Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole. “Both artists started with us this past spring,” Diehl said, “so they’ll be new for the

Fall Arts Festival.” Durant also will be one of three Diehl artists highlighted in the gallery’s annual Western Visions Celebration Salon, for those participating in the Western Visions Wild 100 at the National Museum of Wildlife Art (see page 3C). The Diehl event — set for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 20, during the “farewell to Fall Arts” Art Brunch Gallery Walk — will also feature Richard Painter and Les Thomas. Beyond that, the year should be full of more special occasions at the gallery. For example, the Friday evening winter receptions, Apres Ski & Art, will continue. “It’s a good way to let visitors and locals know that we’re open,” Diehl said, “and they can pop in for a wander about and a glass of wine on a cold winter night.” After hosting a small crowd for a Grand Teton Music Festival concert at the gallery this past summer, Diehl foresees more music there. “It turns out that Diehl Gallery has fantastic acoustics,” she said. “We hope to partner with the Grand Teton Music Festival again for more in-town music events. There’s a rumor that there may be a winter concert series, and we look forward to welcoming their incredible musicians at the gallery.” More art shows are in store as well. “We have a terrific lineup for 2016, which includes a winter exhibition for Sheila Norgate and a solo summer exhibition with Caprice Pierucci,” Diehl said.

Andy Warhol’s “Sidney Janis,” a 24-by-40-inch silkscreen on canvas from 1967, is one of a kind. You can find it at Heather James Fine Art.

Heather James offers trove of rare prints Heather James Fine Art 172 Center St. 307-200-6090 HeatherJames.com By Richard Anderson

f a one-of-a-kind original painting by Pablo Picasso is not in your budget, you’re in luck: Heather James Fine Art has a handful of prints and etchings that might be in reach. And if a genuine Picasso oil is something you’re interested in, Heather James can help you there, too. Or a Mary Cassatt. Or a Salvador Dali. Or a Robert Rauschenberg sculpture. The gallery on Center Street, just a half block north of Town Square, recently rehung many of its walls with prints and paintings by scores of 20th-century masters, as well as a few 19th- and 21st-century works. And that’s not just for the occasion of the 2015 Fall Arts Festival — although the timing of the appearance of so many exquisite prints is hardly coincidental — Heather James is a modern art mecca all year-round. You don’t even have to be in the market for a masterpiece. Colleen FitzGerald, director of the Jackson branch of the Palm Desert, California-headquartered gallery, says she welcomes browsers. Sometimes teachers even bring groups of students by for a quick tour through modern and contemporary art history. “People will come in and look around and say, ‘Wait, how is this possible?’” she said. She and her staff are happy to show off their rare wares and even offer a bit of interpretation, which is almost always sure to deepen appreciation for a work. For example, one oil painting, 27 by 19 3/8 inches, depicts a dozen scraps of material — or maybe flesh — each with a teary eye and lashes sprouting flower petals. Titled “Les Yeux Fleuris,” or “The Flowering Eyes,” it’s immediately recognizable as the work of surrealist Salvador Dali. FitzGerald explained it was a study for a backdrop to a ballet, “Mad Tristan,” produced in 1944 by the Metropolitan Opera. The final backdrop would have been huge, of course — 30 by 50 feet or so — but,

Joan Miro’s “L’Exile Vert,” from 1969, is an original etching and aquatint with carborundum in colors.

FitzGerald said, it was cut up, with each eye going to a different recipient. This work gives some idea of what the backdrop might have looked like. The Dali shares space with works by other name brands in art, including Cassatt’s “Clarissa, With Her Hand to Her Ear, Turned Left,” and a bronze bust from 1900 by Henri Matisse.

“This was done in his lifetime,” FitzGerald said of the bronze, “so it’s pretty special.” Also sharing the masters salon are works by the “New Impressionists,” American artists such as John Leslie Breck and William Glackens, who studied and traveled throughout Europe and brought back the techniques, styles and approaches to light originated and espoused by Monet and Manet. “Eucalyptus, Laguna,” a 25-by-30-inch oil by William Wendt, is particularly stunning, with its dappled light, depth of perspective and sense of texture. Those are all originals, one-of-a-kind, paint (or pastel, etc.) on canvas works. But for Fall Arts, Heather James has laid in a stack of fine prints as well, art by such masters as Marc Chagall, Fernand Leger, Georges Braque, Sol LeWitt and the revolutionary Andy Warhol. To be clear, these “prints” are not posters. They are limited editions, signed and numbered by the artists who to varying degrees oversaw their production, from the creation and inking of the plates to the pressing and final proofing. “It’s different for every case,” FitzGerald said of each artist’s involvement, “so it’s hard to generalize.” But in every case the prints can still be considered original works. And in some cases, as in one Warhol silkscreen, they are one-of-a-kind. His “Sidney Janis,” a 24-by-40-inch silkscreen on canvas from 1967, is what FitzGerald called “a unique” — a one-time print that in this case pays tribute to an art collector and gallery owner who was among the early champions of Warhol and his pop aesthetic. There’s no place else in Jackson Hole — and, in fact, few places anywhere — where you can fall into a titanic abstract expressionist canvas, like Jack Roth’s 90.5-by120-inch “Automatic,” which greets visitors as they walk through the front doors, then get a close-up view of the individual brushstrokes of a Hudson River School master, represented by an Albert Bierstadt grisaille, “Moonlight in Yellowstone.” While Heather James won’t be hosting an opening reception for the newly hung gallery, it will participate again in the Friday, Sept. 11, Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, sharing the fare of the Indian, right across the street, with Altamira Fine Art.

uring the 2015 Fall Arts Festival galleries will display all sorts of renderings of bison, elk, grizzly bear and other creatures that help make the West wild. At Asymbol Gallery nature will be the theme, too. But it’s seen through a different lens. When snowboarder extraordinaire Travis Rice and artist Mike Parillo teamed up in 2009 they wanted to create a gallery of work that symbolized their action sports culture. Using themes and ideas from snowboarding, surfing and skateboarding, the duo gathered image-makers who were well known in the sports world but not so well known in the fine-art world. “They felt there were all these super-talented artists and photographers that they were aware of through the snowboard industry and action sports who don’t get a lot of recognition for their fine-art form,” said Alex Hillinger, executive director of Asymbol. “People are exposed to it on boards, snowboards, skateboards, in surf culture. They see the pictures in magazines. But they don’t necessarily get a chance to connect with the art in it’s true fine-art form. That’s kind of the vision that set Asymbol in motion.” Asymbol has been filling that niche ever since. But it wasn’t until August 2014 that it opened a gallery just off Town Square. Previously the company operated south of town in the warehouse district, profiting through mostly online sales. Those who did stop by the site were often buyers coming to Jackson for the main purpose of seeing and purchasing much of the work at Asymbol. When a space behind Jackson Treehouse in the Pink Garter Plaza opened up a year ago, the gallery jumped on it. Now it is finally getting heavy foot traffic, which has allowed it to attract different clientele. “By being attached to the Treehouse and having a surf shop next door,” Hillinger said, “we’re exposing a lot of people to art who definitely wouldn’t walk into a gallery in Jackson, no matter what.”

Master painter Christensen still a student Christensen Studio 1100 E. 5000 S. Victor, Idaho 83455 208-787-5851 ChristensenStudio.com By Molly Absolon

cott Christensen used to be jock. He played just about every sport he could except basketball growing up in Lander. But then he began to experience pain and numbness in his legs playing football at Chadron State in Nebraska. The pain, the result of a neck injury, grew so intense that Christensen had to quit sports. Suddenly he found himself aimless and adrift. “I didn’t know what to do with my time,” Christensen said. “I had always worked out three hours a day.” So he signed up for a painting class and became “obsessed.” The hours he had spent in the weight room or on the field in the past were now spent behind an easel. He took more classes, he studied other artists, he read books, he watched his grandfather, who was an amateur painter, and he painted countless images that were, he said, “terrible.” “I’m glad those paintings were lost when my parents’ house burned down,” Christensen said. The Victor, Idaho, artist’s work is no longer terrible. Christensen has won many awards, and his work is displayed in museums across the country. He teaches workshops and sells instructional videos on composition, color and technique. His impressionistic landscapes range in size from miniatures to 4-by-8-foot canvases. He travels to paint, and his works include familiar Teton landscapes as well as paintings of the California coast, Switzerland and other parts of the world. His subject matter includes grandscale mountainscapes and intimate studies of a single tree or section of stream.

“Jungfrau,” like much of Christensen’s work, is small, in this case only 9 by 12 inches.

Most of Scott Christensen’s paintings, including “Iseltwald,” begin as plein air studies.

All are characterized by detail and depth — detail and depth that disappear into individual brush strokes when you move in for a close look. Christensen begins most of his paintings with plein air studies that he completes in his studio in front of a large mirror. The mirror allows him to examine the effect of his piece as he creates it. “The mirror reverses the image,” he said. “It allows me to see it as a whole, rather than separate pieces. I don’t stay in one area and try to finish it. I try not to get attached to a

single part. The importance is the way everything works together to say something. My paintings go through ugly stages before the end. Not that I want a pretty painting. But I do want it to be real.” Christensen said he is always learning, always exploring and expanding his knowledge and skill. He sees painting as a way to understand the world. Each completed project involves dozens of quick, preliminary sketches or simple studies examining relationships between the objects, tones and colors in a composition.

He plays with his edges, examines the play of light and seeks tension or focus that makes a scene interesting. “I am a continuous student. I always will be. I want to understand more,” he said. “There’s nothing that hasn’t been done. What’s different is how you do it. The why behind it. You have to act on the why.” To illustrate what he’s talking about, Christensen opened up his computer and pulled up a cover of the Michael Jackson song “Billy Jean” by the band Civil Wars. The Civil Wars’ version is sultry and sensuous, a far cry from its pop original. Christensen finds inspiration in the creativity of the band’s interpretation of the familiar song. He said he, too, tackles familiar topics, but his goal is to interpret them in his own, original way. He feels he has succeeded when his way brings something new and beautiful to the subject. He is not always successful. “I have learned I have to be fine with failure,” Christensen said. “And nothing is ever done. I just get to the point where I say, ‘OK, I’ve said everything I can say.’” Christensen’s studio is open by appointment. Call to make arrangements or email art@christensenstudio.com.

The furniture of David Stine Woodworking, of Dow, Illinois, epitomizes the blend of natural materials and fine craftsmanship that is the hallmark of the Western Design Conference.

Design Conference is for best of the West When: Thursday, Sept. 10, through Sunday, Sept. 13 Where: Snow King Sports and Events Center How much: Prices vary; tickets available by phone at 307-690-9719 Web: WesternDesignConference.com By Jeannette Boner

here is no event in the world that showcases as much Western art, beauty, design and innovation as the Western Design Conference. And what amazing luck for folks here in Jackson Hole this time of year that the conference coincides with the annual Fall Arts Festival. “It’s a long line to get in because it’s the best of the best,” said 21-year conference participant Supaya Gray Wolfe. “Everything is unique, and you can touch what you are looking for, feel the work, and I am available to you. Every artist is like that.” The Western Design Conference Exhibit and Sale, the leading exhibition of Western furniture, fashion and accessories, is held every year in Jackson. This year it starts Thursday, Sept. 10, and runs through Sunday, Sept. 13, at the Snow King Sports and Events Center. The only event of its kind, the Western Design Conference was created to spread the traditions of Western design, develop a way for artists to share their constantly evolving craft and give patrons a way to celebrate, engage and purchase the work in an entertaining way. Wolfe remembers when the show started 23 years ago in a little building in Cody. She was selling porcupine quill earrings for $1.50 back then. The show, as well as Wolfe’s work, has changed significantly over the years as Western design has moved from heavy logs to sleek, sophisticated, contemporary looks. The conference moved to Jackson in 2007 when it was purchased by Powder Mountain Press LLC and the Jackson Hole News&Guide. In 2014 former conference event planner Allison Merritt purchased it, committing to the continued growth of Western arts in Wyoming and expanding the reach of the show. “Allison is right on,” Wolfe said. “She listens to the artists and goes the extra mile to make the show the very best. That girl has so many new and exciting things that are coming up for the show, and it keeps us [artists] motivated, too.” The Western Design Conference is a juried show with more than $22,000 in prize money. “Last year,” Merritt said, “after building on the successes of the previous seven years, I was pleased beyond belief to see our attendance and artists’ sales re-

This is what keeps us on the cutting edge of presenting the finest American artists.” Could the conference get any better? Merritt thinks so. This year she invited WRJ Design Associates of Jackson (see page 7F) to take the lead in creating a first-of-its-kind “showcase home” right in the center of the conference. The home will include six rooms with decors created by interior designers. “The one thing about the design conference was that in the past it was about booths and vendors,” said Rush Jenkins, CEO and co-owner of WRJ Design Associates, and a former judge for the conference. “I don’t think there has been a showcase like this, ever. When people think of a design conference, it can go from vendors See western design on 11E

Guests will view one-of-a-kind creations while sipping cocktails and enjoying gourmet bites by Cafe Genevieve.

A captivating addition this year will be the Designer Show House, where juried artists’ creations and custom interior design come alive by integrating one-ofa-kind objects into a home environment. A highlight of the sold-out evening is the always-stunning Fashion Show. Designers’ innovative couture collections are shown in an intimate runway format in which the models are often Jackson locals. The collections of handmade clothing, jewelry and accessories are typically accompanied by fabulous themes and great music, making for a highly visual and enjoyable experience.

Jeweler Genevieve Yang, of Santa Rosa, California, was inspired by the nighttime sky while on a monthlong winter trip in Wyoming.

At the Winners’ Circle Art Auction preceding the Fashion Show, guests will bid on new works by a group of award winners from previous years. A twist to the Opening Preview Party and Fashion Show this year is that all events will take place at Snow King Sports and Events Center, a move Merritt is excited about. Moving to the center creates a new energy for the entire event, she said, and will give it the feel of a real New York fashion show, complete with runway and floor seating. For the conference’s 23rd year, awardwinning Ward and Blake Architects have taken on a new role as title sponsor for

the Fashion Show. “We have a great passion and respect for the West, which we see mirrored in the remarkable craftsmanship by these top artists,” said Ward and Blake Architects principal Tom Ward. “We appreciate the Western Design Conference’s philosophy of presenting finely made functional art that provides fresh perspective on what’s ‘Western’ to attendees from around the world. “As a measure of that appreciation,” he said, “we’re pleased to be the WDC’s first title sponsors, supporting the opening-night fashion show, an event known for its live-performance excitement and

the enthusiastic involvement of the Jackson community.” The conference continues Sept. 11, 12 and 13 with the Western Design Conference Exhibit and Sale, showcasing functional art by more than 130 Western-inspired artists, the Designer Show House and the Retail Row shopping area. Tickets and information, including a schedule, are available on the Web at WesternDesignConference.com. Tickets for the opening party, live auction and fashion show cost $50 a person or $125 for limited reserved seating. Information can also be found on Facebook and Twitter @WesternDesign.

In the Pines fiddles with boundaries of art In the Pines Space 130 S. Jackson St. 307-222-8ITP InThePines.org By Richard Anderson

he vast majority of the art we see — in Jackson Hole and pretty much everywhere else — comes in neat, tidy packages: a surface, covered with paint, contained by a frame, displayed on an otherwise blank span of wall. Artist Kate Bonner, however, mutilates that neat package, exposing the guts of our traditional ideas about what a piece of art is and thus forcing us to confront and question those ideas. Bonner will be one of two Fall Arts Festival artists who will exhibit at In the Pines Space, Thomas Macker and Andy Kincaid’s artist-run gallery, publisher and bookshop on Jackson Street. Daniel Baird, whose sculptural works often consist of sleek, even sterile structures built to support rough, unworked rock or other natural materials, will also display his pieces in an exhibition titled “Lynchpinned & Bitten.” “The way I was thinking about this exhibition,” said Macker, “is I was thinking about the strain of art-making that’s popular in installation art and emerging sculptural art, which is using the apparatus, the scaffolding, the lynchpin, the materials of how a piece is created or how it connects as a metaphor for curating the exhibition.” Bonner, for example, uses photography and painting “to make really nicely finished

end works,” Macker said. But she takes the typical image within the frame, and “with laser-cut precision she can edit or take away shapes from the glass, the photo, the frame. … So this traditional structure is deconstructed and exposed and removed.” Baird’s art, too, becomes more the frame, or more precisely the scaffold or apparatus that supports and displays the supposed object of attention. “His work often uses these kinds of utilitarian, industrial materials that would be used for another device,” said Macker, “like some sort of precision-cut aluminum scaffolding that might be used in the

medical industry. … The end result is oftentimes an object — it could be a found object, like a rock — and this elaborate armature or buttressing to reveal it or hold it up or honor it somehow.” It’s pretty safe to say you won’t see anything else like Bonner’s or Baird’s work in Jackson Hole during the 2015 Fall Arts Festival, which is of course part of the joy of visiting In the Pines Space. On the one hand, the 2-1/2 -year-old gallery is a fly-bythe-seat-of-its-pants affair, a crazy experiment that defies most of the conventions of commercial or even nonprofit galleries. In those past twoplus years the small storefront gallery attached to the Teton Artlab has shown work by artists using new media and emerging technology — exhibits to hear and feel as much as to see. It has also shown

more traditional media — “contemporary art that looks and smells and feels like contemporary art,” Macker said. It aims to spark conversations in Jackson Hole and to serve as a voice to converse with other like-minded groups and artists, wherever they may be. “There’s a big [artist-run gallery] culture in LA, Chicago, New York and other places,” said Macker, who is also gallery director and director of photography at the Art Association of Jackson Hole. “We stay in conversation with these other artist-run spaces, with artists outside of our community … important emerging artists.” On the other hand, In the Pines is 100 percent risk-free, Kincaid said. “It’s a safe place to try to do stuff,” said Kincaid, who in his nearly five years in Jackson Hole has worked for galleries and as an art installer and now assists an artist. “There’s not a lot at stake. Financially especially. We can afford to not sell work. We can afford to have a space that things happen in that we are 100 percent sure are unsellable

here. … And I think having that safety allows us to do things that at least open people’s expectations about what might be in a gallery or in a home. “That may be starting to have an effect in other spaces,” he said, “just in terms of people taking risks.” That said, Macker and Kincaid and Inside the Pines do have some ways to generate revenue: publishing ephemera related to exhibitions, hawking shirts and handmade books, and creating “rarified, smalledition objects” made in collaboration with their guests. “We like to work with the artists,” Macker said. “We’re not just a vessel. … We’re constantly trying to customize and design with the artists how the show will be presented to the public.” ITP will celebrate Bonner’s and Baird’s “Lynchpinned & Bitten” show with an opening reception Friday, Sept. 11, the night of the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. But per ITP’s character and style its event will be more of a Palates and Palettes after-party, set for 8 to 10 p.m. Persephone Bakery will cater.

who led Works Progress Administration workshops in the 1930s and created a legacy of still-coveted furniture. Visitors find stacks of 100-year-old Native American blankets, delicate antique lamps, bronze statuary and finely crafted furniture throughout the showrooms. Terry Winchell and his wife, Claudia Bonnist, also have a longtime connection with furniture created by the late Cody craftsman Thomas Molesworth. “He used bright colors,” Winchell told Antiques and Arts Weekly. “He made it fun. There is a lot of humor in his furniture, which he did on purpose.” Molesworth was trained at the Art Institute of Chicago and was “a proponent of a simple lifestyle and bringing the outdoors in,” Winchell said. Molesworth’s Shoshone Furniture Company was in business at the height of the Great Depression. Newspaperman Moses Annenberg placed a massive order for furniture and rugs for his lodge. “Molesworth built 245 pieces of furniture for the Annenberg Lodge,” the store’s website says, “from burl wood lamps with rawhide shades to iron sconces hung from deer antlers. He crafted custom iron fireplace screens, a 20-foot dining table and custom carved highbacked chairs with burl wood arms.” It took 18 months for Molesworth to deliver the entire order. Molesworth went on to decorate ranches for many other wealthy clients and for the great lodges of the day, including the Rockefeller Ranch and Dwight D. Eisenhower’s home in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. At his peak he employed 35 craftsmen. “Molesworth pieces gained significant popularity after the 1989 exhibition ‘Interior West: The Craft and Style of Thomas Molesworth’ at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody and in 1990 at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles,” the website states. Molesworth continues to climb in value today. At one Christies auction Winchell bought $900,000 worth of Molesworth products for himself and clients. Founded by Winchell in 1978, Fighting Bear began as an antiques store near Town Square, but it morphed into a far grander place that aims to re-create the great lodges of the 1920s and 1930s. In the 1990s the business shifted its focus to Western furniture, Plains Indian beadwork, Navaho textiles, Native American artifacts and Mission-style furniture made by Stickley, Roycroft and Limbert. For people who want to know what they missed back in the heyday of the Western lodge, Fighting Bear will feature an Old West lodge setting at the Western Design Conference this year. Winchell is a lecturer on Western design and Native American arts. He has written two books, “Thomas Molesworth, The Pioneer of Western Design” and “Living with American Indian Art, the Hirschfield Collection,” published by Gibbs Smith. Those books are on sale at the store.

People who walk into Asymbol Gallery see kinds of contemporary art that are nothing like what they would find around the corner at a more traditional gallery. The art speaks to the snowboarding and extreme sports culture. Much of the work is from pro snowboarders who are also artists, such as Bryan Iguchi and Jamie Lynn. Other material, like the painting titled “The Grand,” was produced by artists who have worked closely with the ’board world. One such artist is Iuna Tinta. Tinta had done a little work with Quicksilver’s women’s line, Roxy. Asymbol noticed and appreciated Tinta’s style and began to display her work. “When we started working with her she wasn’t all that well known within that sort of industry,” Hillinger said. “But since we’ve been working with her she’s gotten a lot more visibility and has been in really big group shows.” Asymbol connected with Tinta’s work because she documents the radical changes that mountain landscapes around the globe have undergone as a result of climate change.

Fashion show coordinator Molly Flaherty said she loves seeing the connection between the “classic Western look and how people use it now.” Western clothing, she said, was once strictly functional. Leather and wool were popular because they were the only materials available. “Now artists are taking that and making it into beautiful wool sweaters and leather

Tinta documents what she has noticed with her own eyes. Tinta’s work is in Asymbol’s “Emergency Exhibit,” which launched Sept. 3. The gallery flew the Swiss artist in to host the opening, and the work will be spotlighted throughout the Fall Arts Festival. The exhibit is an online showcase as well as a physical gallery showcase. “Fall Arts is basically a gallery takeover type of show,” Hillinger said. “That’s going to be as full-bore as we can possibly get.” A portion of sales from the show will benefit POW: Protect our Powder. Tinta will be the star of the Fall Arts Festival showing, Asymbol’s second stint with the festival after making its debut at the 2014 Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. Her work now hangs with that of Iguchi, Lynn and photographer Jimmy Chin. “It’s crazy how rich of a body of work we have,” Hillinger said. “And for a rinky-dink little Jackson company to have such a big presence around the world and to be connected with Travis [Rice] and Jimmy [Chin] and to be able to actually find artists that we think are doing really good work and showcase their work and push it out … that’s a dream come true.” belts,” Flaherty said. Celeste Sotola is the conference’s sixyear reigning fashion show champion. For her “Montana Dreamwear” line she uses organic leather, wool and other materials to make anything from floorlength gowns to delicate belts. “It’s very unique,” Flaherty said. Jackson’s Western heritage and breathtaking landscapes provide unlimited inspiration for artists. Just as there are an infinite supply of subjects to choose from, so too are there infinite interpretations. There is still plenty of space for classic landscape paintings and wildlife art, but art, like life, is constantly evolving and taking on new forms.

he is known as the “light artist.” Though the mediums and concepts Claudia Bueno uses to create art have changed over the years as she has integrated new ideas and materials, her interest in and use of light have remained a constant. Bueno is known for her large-scale installations, which lately have been inspired by natural patterns. It’s why she stood out as a candidate for Teton Artlab’s artist-in-residence program, said Travis Walker, founder of Teton Artlab. Many of Bueno’s installations are created with strings dipped in epoxy to create a spiderweb-like cloud to which she then adds light and sound. “They are really, really beautiful,” Walker said. Bueno’s work was unique and stood out among 260 applications for the Artlab’s residency program, which brings artists to work and live in Jackson for a month. People will get a chance to see Bueno and her work during an open studio from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. The monthlong residency is meant to offer artists a chance to immerse themselves in their work, away from the distractions of home life. It’s also an opportunity to introduce Jackson Hole residents to interesting art-

ists working in a variety of mediums. The natural world informs Bueno’s work. Some of the drawings in her application were inspired by science and cellular structures. They seemed to expand off the paper in a 3-dimensional way, Walker said. “It’s almost like you are inhabiting a [biological] cell,” he said. Though applicants for the residency were judged on the caliber and uniqueness of their work, the people making the selection also looked for candidates who would benefit from being in Jackson, where the environment can have an influence on work. “She’s inspired by nature, even if it’s on a cellular level,” Walker said. Bueno started working on cityscapes, but a few years ago, after living in Malaysia, she started looking at the patterns

that appear in the natural world. She hopes to expand on that body of work while in Jackson. Bueno always knew she would be an artist. While growing up in Venezuela she played in workshops, creating puppets and masks with her mother. In college she studied painting with a professor who encouraged her to experiment, including with 3-dimensional work. Her work started growing off the flat surface and eventually left canvas and paper altogether as she dove into creating installations. Bueno’s large installations are giant webs she makes with thread dipped in resin. She creates the patterns, and when the thread dries it holds. She is known for incorporating technology into her work, using lights, motors, circuits, sound, wind and video to

Artists from around the country will show work during the Fall Arts Festival, but at CSA Jackson Hole’s pickup party at Teton Artlab, you can stock up on art created right in Jackson Hole. CSA Jackson Hole is a community-supported art share program in which shareholders pay $400 and receive nine pieces of art, one from each participating artist. Alissa Davies started the program last year as a way for artists to earn money. This year shareholders will pick up their art at parties throughout the year. The public is invited, too, Davies said. The pickup party is scheduled for 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 18. Shareholders will collect work from Susan Fleming, Abbie Miller, Canyon Kids, and Steven Glass and Jenna Reineking. The artists will also have additional work available for purchase. The party will be held outside the Artlab, which also will be hosting an open studio for its visiting artist, Claudia Bueno. The party will include beer, wine, music and a chance to help support local artists, Davies said. Several of the 40 CSA Jackson Hole shares are still available.

She is bringing a variety of materials to work with, including ink, paper and crayons.

Jackson Hole Public Art’s mobile design studio debuted at the Exquisite Gardeners project at Karns Meadow in early August.

ackson is renowned as an artist’s haven, rife with the work of world-class creators such as Ai Weiwei, Thomas Moran and Carl Rungius. But be sure to look beyond the gallery walls and sculpture gardens, because all across town public art adorns the urban geography for the enjoyment of all residents and visitors. Public art has become ingrained in the fabric of Jackson’s development, factored into the town’s annual budget. It is a commitment, Jackson Mayor Sara Flitner said. “Valuing that as a community makes us smarter and more effective problem-solvers,” Flitner said. “Creative thinking is necessary for problem solving.” It’s the rare city that makes government funding available for art projects. “Ours is a voluntary [tax] percentage for art programs,” Jackson Hole Public Art Director Carrie Geraci said. Through those funds and supplements from private donors, Jackson Hole Public Art has been able to integrate aesthetic components into construction projects throughout the valley, from the glass panes on the Home Ranch welcome center on North Cache Street to the ravens that lead the way through the North Highway 89 underpass. Next on the list is to return the willows that once lined Flat Creek to their original home around the five-way intersection with a new project called “Willow Grove.”

Beacons on Broadway

“Willow Grove memorializes that Flat Creek was moved,” Geraci said. “This is a big art piece that is designed to … announce the entrance into downtown and add some visual vitality to the five-way and encourage pedestrians to spend more time there.” The cluster of steel trees is also intended to serve as a visual trigger that will naturally slow traffic as it enters the downtown, pedestrian-oriented part of Jackson. Using biomimicry as a tool to relearn from nature, Seattle artist John Fleming designed 36 rusted steel “trees” to line the intersection. The trees will be 12 to 30 feet high and will taper into a tiny LED light at the top. “The rust-colored steel emulates the bark of the willows down along Flat Creek,” Fleming wrote in an email. “At night the tips of the steel ‘treetops’ light up with LEDs, not unlike willow blossoms.

A modern adaptation of the elk antlers that form arches on Town Square will be used for tree grates around Miller Park and dozens of trash cans. Jackson Hole Public Art will be installing them through the fall.

“It’s a balance between something that grabs you and something you don’t even notice,” he said. Fleming spent months fabricating the willows after meeting with Geraci and town officials. He toured the area on no less than seven trips, becoming enamored with the willows that still remain and the ghosts of those removed. The rusty color the trunks take on when leaves fall in autumn grabbed him. “These will have that same color,” he said. “At night you’ll get this glow, these beacons on top. Almost like a pussy willow, they’ll have these blooms. Come October three 18-wheeler flatbed trucks will arrive to complete the plan that has been 18 months in the making. “We’re trying to squeeze it in after tourist season but before the ground gets too cold,” Fleming said. The $200,000 project was privately funded by the LOR Foundation.

Art on the move

Public art projects are not limited to stationary installations. In recent months Jackson Hole Public Art has deployed a mobile design studio to public events, including JacksonHoleLive, the Jackson Hole Farmers Market on Town Square and various food tours. The studio is a trailer with an exterior wrap fabricated by Jackson designer Walt Gerrald. The inside is little more than a job-site office, but with it, Jackson

Hole Public Art artist-in-residence Bland Hoke said, the possibilities are numerous. “One of the most exciting things is we’ve left it pretty plain and vanilla inside so we can build it out over time,” Hoke said. At JacksonHoleLive, the free concert series at the base of Snow King Mountain, the trailer became an art space for people to paint their own corn hole boards. Corn hole is a lawn game that involves tossing beanbags into a hole in an angled wooden box. At the Jackson Hole Farmers Market on Town Square the studio was transformed into an “Ask the Foodie” booth, where Chef Rene Stein and “Jackson Hole Foodie” blogger Annie Fenn became advisors. “They were stationed at the studio,” Hoke said, “and it was basically a place where people could come up and ask them what they should do with all the ingredients at the farmers market.” Mostly, though, members of Jackson Hole Public Art have manned the trailer at events as a means to get community feedback for future art projects. Since the launch of the mobile design studio, requests for comments have been directed toward the Community Streets Furniture Project.

Aesthetic trash cans

Through the fall Jackson Hole Public Art will be installing 12 custom-designed, Jackson-styled tree grates around Miller Park and dozens of trash cans. “We tapped into the iconic antler of Jackson and reconfigured it,” Hoke said. “You look at it, and maybe it might be tree branches and maybe it might be elk antlers. It takes a little bit to digest it, and I think that is a feature of really timeless design.” As Hoke walks around town he recognizes other amenities that could be redone with an artistic touch. Renderings are being made for bike racks and benches, but one day streetlights, electrical boxes — anything, really — could become public art. “If we’re successful and they’re competitive in cost and aesthetically compelling,” Hoke said, “things that are kind of ubiquitous in the urban landscape, we have the ability to manufacture them.” Geraci said no project compares with the natural beauty of Jackson Hole, but the “gorgeous scenery” is what inspires so many artists in the area. Flitner agreed. “In a hundred ways I think we’re inspired by the landscape that surrounds us, and that attracts a certain kind of person,” Flitner said. “I think [public art] just speaks to what inspires us. “Those are original works of art done by real artists and led by a very cutting-edge art board and executive director. It just speaks to what inspires us, all of us.”

Remington engravings ride library walls

Teton County Library 125 Virginian Lane 307-733-2164 TCLib.org By Johanna Love

undreds of Western artists, many represented in Jackson, have studied the work of Frederic Remington and attempted to match his dynamic depictions of the early frontier. In an exhibit opening today at Teton County Library, people can see some of the drawings that helped launch Remington’s art career. “Dramatic Moments: Frederic Remington’s Early Engravings, 18821893” consists of 28 works that were printed in Harper’s Weekly when Remington was

a correspondent assigned by the popular magazine to the American Southwest. The exhibit includes scenes that thrilled readers back East: a desperate Indian battle, cowboys fighting a prairie fire, a pronghorn antelope hunt, the arrest of a whiskey smuggler, scouts tracking renegade Apaches, a Mexican bullfight, a picket soldier ambushed, hunters packing game on a rebellious mustang, and a cavalry unit caught in a sandstorm. Born in 1861 to a prominent family and educated in the East, Remington first traveled west in 1881, beginning a lifelong love affair with cowboys, the military and adventure. As Remington himself said in 1905 in the magazine Collier’s, “I knew the wild riders and the vacant land were Engravings like this helped launch Frederic Remington’s career. The 1888 image “Dragging a Bull’s Hide Over a Prairie Fire in Northern Texas” and 27 others are on display at Teton County Library through November. The prints are owned by Lee Silliman, of Missoula, Montana, who will talk at the collection at 6 p.m. Sept. 9.

“The Buffalo Dance” was printed in 1887 in Harper’s Weekly. Remington was a correspondent for the magazine, assigned to the American Southwest. His action scenes of Native Americans, cowboys, soldiers and hunters thrilled readers back East.

about to vanish forever. “Without knowing exactly how to do it,” Remington wrote, “I began to try to record some facts around me, and the more I looked the more the panorama unfolded.” With his pencil, pen and brushes, Remington began to draw and paint, and upon his return East he sold his first sketch to Harper’s Weekly. The work launched his career as a painter, and eventually a sculptor, and cemented his place among the finest painters of the American West.

The prints on view at the library are owned by Lee Silliman, a retired chemistry teacher and amateur historian who lives in Missoula, Montana. He has loaned the works to the library through Nov. 25. Most measure around 11 by 16 inches, the dimensions of the magazine. Some were printed in the magazine’s center and span the entire width of the opened pages, measuring 16 by 22 inches. Silliman said he called the show of black-and-white engravings “Dramatic Moments” because Remington “excelled

at expressing motion, conflict, violence.” Out of hundreds of Remington’s published works, these engravings are ones Silliman chose to collect and display because of their dynamic qualities, “with action in them or action about to happen.” Many of these engravings feature horses in motion. Remington was the first fine artist to render their motion accurately. Most historians believe he must have seen the 1878 series of photographs called “The Horse See remington on 5F

FALL ARTS FESTIVAL, Jackson Hole News&Guide, Wednesday, September 9, 2015 - 5F

Slideshow covers Remington’s rise In the free lecture “Remington’s Formative Years,” Missoula, Montana, resident Lee Silliman will show slides and discuss the early career of famed Western artist Frederic Remington. Silliman will discuss Remington’s fascination with the horse, the Indians whose culture and freedom were being circumscribed, the African-American soldiers sent to the Southwest after the Civil War, the Euro-American settlers who established cattle ranches and the vibrant allure of Mexican life south of the border. A reception with light refreshments will begin at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9, with the talk following at 6 p.m.

in Motion” by Eadweard Muybridge, Silliman said. In the series Muybridge proved that at a gallop a horse leaves the ground for a fraction of a second with its legs gathered underneath it rather than stretched out. “It’s fairly likely Remington saw these pictures,” Silliman said. “He was one of the earliest ones to begin depicting horses with their feet in the correct position beneath them. “Prior to those pictures artists drew the rocking horse pose, with two legs out in front and two in back instead of under them like crab legs.”

FEATURED ARTISTS INCLUDE: susan fleming jewelry, molly stratton, coral and tusk, jill zeidler ceramics, made by e.e., tracy tanner, whitney smith pottery, laura cooke ceramics, bird and buffalo, donna wilson, k studio, pam bosco jewelry, cate and levi, molly m designs, lucky fish, esther sullivan design, verre by julie burton, good measure, paige lauren, elisabethan, umsteigen, e + a collective, peg and awl, caitlin dunn design, batle studio, amira jewelry, petra zeiler, slantt jewelry by jennifer rodgers, octavia bloom, and justine moody 180 E.

SUMMER 2015

— Lee Silliman Collector of remington prints

The engraving production process was time-consuming, Silliman said. The artist painted a picture — often in shades of black, white and gray, because black ink was the only choice for reproduction — and handed it off to the magazine. Technicians in the magazine shop transferred the essence of the painting to a wood block, painstakingly carving the design. Harper’s Weekly’s circulation was more than 100,000, so these engravings are affordable for modest collectors, Silliman said. Original watercolors and oil paintings by Remington cost in the six or seven figures. For decades Silliman has been collecting engravings. His files now number more than 915, with more than 100 of those by Remington. He has produced half a dozen exhibits that have shown at Teton County Library. In his home frame shop, Silliman mounted each of the Remington pieces in black mesquite frames. “It has a lot of rough texture in it,” Silliman said, “so it perfectly matches the subject matter and the timeframe.”

“I like to think animals are pretty honest and straightforward,” she said, “and they so often get overlooked in our world. I definitely am interested in bringing awareness to them and making sure they have a safe world to live in, too.” Houseman also will participate in the 20th annual Jackson Hole Quick Draw Art Sale and Auction on Saturday, Sept. 19 (see page B3). At the Quick Draw artists sponsored by galleries demonstrate their skills in an al fresco event in which they are given 90 minutes to create one-of-a-kind paintings that are then auctioned.

“ t is like Fall Arts Festival every day

in Made,” John Frechette said of his eclectic shop in Gaslight Alley. Featuring work by about 200 local and regional artists, the funky gift-buying hot spot offers an experience that is part gallery and part shop. For this year’s festival Frechette is adding a modern, youthful twist to the lineup. Contemporary wildlife artist Kat Houseman will be at Made during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11. Visitors can mingle, try a treat from Nom Nom Doughnuts, sip a glass of wine and maybe take a piece of art home. Originally from Montana, the Bellingham, Washington, artist is known for her bright, funky take on wildlife art that uses loose lines and bold colors. “We have represented her for four years,” Frechette said. “She was a featured artist for the Jackson Hole Art Association’s Art Fair. I bought a couple pieces and fell in love.” For Fall Arts, Houseman plans to bring a rare spin on her original works of art, offering miniature 5-by-5-inch paintings at affordable prices so admirers can take a piece of her art home with them. “Her work fits with everything else we are trying to do at Made,” Frechette said. “There are a lot of people who want to take home an original piece of art, and she allows our customers to do that.” From bears and bison to regional birds, Houseman captures the spirit of each animal she paints through color choice and impressionistic strokes.

“I try to keep strokes loose and as juicy as possible. You can oftentimes get an emotion across through color.” — Kat Houseman wildlife painter from washington

Kat Houseman incorporates loose brushstrokes and bright colors to bring out the emotion of the animals she paints. Fans of her work can meet her at Made during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. The Gaslight Alley shop will have some of her affordable miniatures.

“I try to keep strokes loose and as juicy as possible,” Houseman said. “You

can oftentimes get an emotion across through color.

“It was an absolute honor to get in last year,” Houseman said. “I was so nervous to be painting around all of these artists I have looked up to my whole life.” No longer a rookie, she is looking forward to this year’s event. “I now know what to expect from the crowd and have a little bit more knowledge in terms of how I want to set up,” she said. “And making sure I bring warmer socks — it is early in the morning and gets cold.” Last year Houseman painted a portrait of a horse. This year she is thinking of doing a buffalo.

he feel and function of a Western interior continues to evolve. The log-cabin look, for example, has given way to the contemporary idea of clean lines and bright spaces. But what seems to be the constant is the way form and shape are inspired by the natural world and, in Jackson, framed by the Tetons. With the opening of their flagship store on King Street, just off Town Square, Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer, owners of WRJ Design Associates, have worked with clients and artists, collaborators and visionaries to carve the cutting edge of this contemporary evolution of interior Western design. “Our business is our livelihood, and we are passionate about art,” said Jenkins, CEO of the interior design group that opened shop in 2012. “We’re always bridging the gaps of Western design and contemporary. It’s something that we are constantly trying to do for our clients.” Their resumes and work speak for themselves, a veritable who’s who among the famous and well-to-do. Having designed more than 40 exhibitions for Sotheby’s, they include among their references the likes of industrial titans Rockefeller and Mellon and leading men and woman in the arts such as Blass and Hepburn, Cash and Streisand. But whether the customer is local or corporate, the focus of the team is always on the client, with the goal of creating spaces that can be lived in. “I think people did really want to come out here and surround themselves with that heavy Western feel,” Baer said of the traditional Western look. “Now people are staying here for extended periods of time, and [the design] is a bit more lighter and livable. Lifestyles are changing, and there is an ability for people to come out for longer periods of time.” The shift happened years ago in the Hamptons of Long Island, New York, he said. Where beach cottages proliferated, homeowners began staying for longer periods of time and looking for more livable designs. The phenomenon is now taking place in the Tetons, Baer said, and is largely due to latest trends in telecommuting. “Nobody lives in a museum,” Jenkins said. “Art is not singular. You sit with it, you live with it, it’s in the en-

usan Fleming has been using an old tool to make new jewelry. “In my most recent body of work I have been focusing on mixing 14-karat gold, scallop-set diamonds and oxidized silver,” Fleming said. “Many of my pieces are given a hammered texture with an antique hammer acquired at an old tool barn on the Maine coast.” Wielding an old hammer doesn’t really sound unusual when you consider that she not only creates wearable art — Susan Fleming Jewelry — but also operates a Deloney Avenue store called Workshop where the slogan is “Hand. Made. Things.” During the Fall Arts Festival Workshop will focus on new pieces from Fleming’s semiprecious collection as well as the latest pieces by jewelry designers Caitlin Dunn, of Colorado, and Pam Bosco, from Maine.

Animal portrait pillows and other home goods by Stephanie Housley, from Brooklyn, are also on Workshop’s festival menu, along with a host of other items. “We are stocking up on new inventory and increasing our offerings from most of our artists that currently show in Workshop during the Fall Arts Festival,” Fleming said. Some of the Workshop action will be outside the store. “I will be participating in the Takin’ It to the Streets art fair on Sept. 13 on the Town Square from 10 to 4,” Fleming said. “Workshop will also have a booth at the Western Design Conference in the Retail Row section at Snow King Center from Thursday, Sept. 10, to Sunday, Sept. 13. We will have a full range of our products that we offer in the store up there.” Fleming has been working on larger necklaces and rings using semiprecious stones such as aquamarines, tourmalines, chalcedony, chrysoprase and moonstones. “I set them in sterling or 14-karat with a hammered border of 14-karat around the base of the stone to create a backdrop for the stones,” she said. “These are either finished with heavier sterling silver cable links or more delicate hammered 14-karat and sterling links that are larger in diameter.” In her studio at the back of Workshop, Fleming has also been working on other new pieces including “many variations of spinning rings.” Fleming praises her fellow jewelry designers, who also are friends.

Fleming at Workshop as a studio jeweler and retail assistant. “Growing up in the mountains, she is heavily influenced by nature and leads and active lifestyle, and her work reflects this,” Fleming said. Caitlin Dunn Jewelry pieces are simple yet elegant and made for everyday wear, Fleming said. Dunn uses 14-karat gold, sterling and 14-karat gold fill, and precious and semiprecious stones. She will also have some turquoise pieces for Fall Arts Festival. Fleming said she and Pam Bosco started out working with the same jeweler on the coast of Maine years ago. Bosco is still in the Pine Tree State. “She currently resides in Freeport and maintains her own studio,” Fleming said. “She is well-known for her rings, which are one continuous piece of metal hammered and wrapped into a small wearable sculpture.”

Among other things Stephanie Housley has several new animal portrait pillows of bison, elk, wolves and horses. These are pillows with personality, to say the least. “Some of her newest pocket pillows, which all have a removable animal pal, include the log-cabin-dwelling wolf gunsmith, the saddle-maker raccoon who travels in his covered wagon, and the apothecary bear who heals and deals from his walled tent of potions,” Fleming said. “I discovered Stephanie Housely’s amazing work at a handmade show in New York City that I was also participating in,” Fleming said. “I was immediately drawn to the whimsical images and fine craftsmanship — it is such a great combination. “Since then we have become friends, and she spends time in the Jackson area several times a year. Hence her work is heavily influenced buy the Tetons and the surrounding area. The source material for her latest creations are from her trip here this past April.”
