EDITOR’S NOTE

A clean, green path to valley’s future

By Richard Anderson

F

ifteen or 20 years ago, a notable Jackson Hole musician told a reporter that it was virtually impossible for a person to make a living here as a full-time artist.

There wasn’t the audience, not enough opportunities to work — even of you spent half your work hours teaching, It just couldn’t be done.

That might have been true back then, but today Jackson Hole is full of artists and artisans who make all or some significant part of their income — and a great deal of their personal satisfaction — from their creative pursuits: making music, crafting original visual art, fabricating functional designs, producing theater and film, writing books and poetry.

Jackson Hole’s annual Fall Arts Festival, this year marking its 32nd year, helped lead the way. In the early 1980s visionary artists and business leaders hypothesized that the arts could soften the dramatic economic dip the region experienced come the autumnal offseason. There was plenty to suggest they were on to something: the summerlong Grand Teton Music Festival was popular with residents and summer visitors, the gallery community continued to grow and evolve and mature, and the do-ityourself ethic of the remote mountain West aligned perfectly with the motives and drives of what would become known as the creative industries or entrepreneurial class. A constant supply of new minds from East and West also supplied new ideas and perspectives to keep the sights and sounds fresh and relevant.

So, with the encouragement of these artists and businesspeople, Jackson began to attract a new destination visitor

Established 1981

— the cultural tourist — the circle of Jackson Hole galleries expanded and the community of local artists got busy supplying these new guests with truly unique mementoes of their trip to the Tetons, from handmade greeting cards and garage-produced CDs to beautifully crafted home furnishings and one-of-akind works of art.

Anyone who has familiarized himself with Jackson Hole and its history of the past decade or so knows this story. And anyone who closely observes trends in the valley may draw the same conclusion: that the arts have been, are and will continue to be a growing market for western Wyoming.

They are, in fact, the ideal economic sector to bet on and to continue to nurture. They are generally clean and green. They celebrate and honor the environment, wildlife and traditions that attract so many to this region to start with. It takes hard work and dedication, but often a talented individual can find herself earning a decent living doing what she loves to do the most. And, if you care about such matters, success in the arts is mostly driven by the market.

If folks don’t like what you have to offer, they won’t buy it; if they go crazy for it, the sky is the limit.

This year’s edition of the Jackson Hole News&Guide’s Fall Arts Festival supplement salutes the region’s galleries, gallerists and artists who stock their walls, as usual. But it also seeks to recognize the still-widening possibilities that the arts hold for this singular community’s future. As much as the environment and society of Jackson Hole have shaped the aesthetics of countless creatives, so, too, do they have the ability to positively influence the course of Jackson Hole.

allery walks take on a new meaning during Palates and Palettes, an art walk combining local cuisine with an evening of art and culture.

From 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, people will be able to hop between galleries, take in exquisite art and sample food provided by local restaurants.

At Heather James Fine Art the plaza outside the gallery will be buzzing with music, and hints of Indian and southeast Asian food will waft through the air.

“It’s a nice way for the business and cultural side of Jackson to pair up in fun ways,” Heather James marketing associate Sarah Fischel said.

Visitors will be able to view works

by Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and Norman Rockwell while eating morsels provided by Teton Tiger, the restaurant across the street.

And for Heather James the night is pretty much a block party. Across the plaza is Altamira Fine Art. Instead of doing something different the two galleries have combined forces to make the evening a collaborative effort. It’s a way for the galleries to come together.

“It could be something that’s competitive,” Fischel said, “but we’ve developed a nice relationship with them.”

There are art walks throughout the summer, but Palates and Palettes is a nice opportunity for the rest of Jackson to see what’s going on inside the galleries. It’s also a chance for people who may have missed the summer events to see what the gallery scene of Jackson is like.

“You’ll have people walking in that walk by the gallery or eat at Teton Tiger

and don’t even realize there’s a gallery here,” Fischel said.

The evening is coordinated by the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, and more than 30 galleries will have their doors open.

The event is a kickoff for the Fall

Arts Festival, said Renee Leone, special events coordinator at the chamber.

Each participating gallery that evening will tie balloons outside to draw in the crowds. At the start of the week the Chamber of Commerce will offer a guide to the pairings and participating

galleries. The list will also be published on the chamber’s Facebook page.

“It’s another way to incorporate local culture and the local cuisine,” Leone said.

“While you’re at the galleries checking out the art, you get to sample treats from around town and get yourself a glass of wine,” she said.

Kat Houseman concentrates on her painting during the 19th annual QuickDraw. The popular Fall Arts Festival event gives painters and sculptors 90 minutes to create a new piece in front of an audience on Town Square. Then the works are auctioned. The 21st Jackson Hole QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction, as it’s formally called, will start at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.

Ready … set … paint!

Jackson Hole QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction 9 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 17 Town Square

By Benjamin Graham

A

group of painters and sculptors is huddled on Town Square trying to stay warm on a Saturday morning.

It’s September, but it’s still early.

Clouds hang low, and the cold air feels trapped near the valley floor.

Some artists wear gloves to keep their fingers nimble. Others shake blood into their hands.

They all are nervously fiddling with their brushes and palette knives, like old-time gunslingers fingering their six-shooters in preparation for a duel.

Except in this contest, paint will fly instead of lead.

At 9 a.m. sharp it begins. Each artist has 90 minutes to complete a work of art. The final products are auctioned to the highest bidders.

This scene, known as the QuickDraw, has played out in early autumn at Jackson Hole’s annual Fall Arts Festival for each of the past 20 years.

The event often offers the unexpected. In some years it has snowed.

Wind has knocked over easels. Given the short time frame, some artists have been known to bring hair dryers to help dry the paint faster as they work.

This year the QuickDraw takes place at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.

QuickDraw veteran and renowned local painter Kathryn Mapes Turner is the first to admit that the event is an unusual way to go about making a painting. But

she still finds it to be worthwhile, despite the time pressure and the potential travails of the weather.

The compressed time line allows artists to open the curtain, just for a morning, on the artistic process, albeit a time-lapsed version.

“I really feel like people are intrigued by the process of the painting being created,” Turner said. “I like to help the public experience the miraculous nature of the creative process.”

Utah painter Jared Sanders, who has participated for several years, said each artist takes a different approach to preparing for the event.

“I think about it quite a bit beforehand,” Sanders said. “I try to come up with an image that can be done quickly.”

Oftentimes he makes sketches of what he plans to paint. He will sometimes do scaled-down versions of his trademark Western landscapes, rolling farmlands and barns.

Another of his rituals is to mix his colors before the whistle blows.

“You feel the pressure the whole time,” he said. “There are lots of artists

there. You can see them interacting with people and talking and joking around.

But myself, I’m kind of just focused.”

Turner will sometimes wait to decide what to paint, which allows her to respond to the creative mood she’s in that morning.

Other times she has brought materials for a still life. Once she even painted a woman on a horse.

Regardless of the methods, each artist says the tension is ramped up when the 90-minute period begins.

“It’s really a nerve-racking morning for us,” Turner said, “but I think it’s really worth it.”

People interested in purchasing artwork at the QuickDraw need to register in advance, which can be done before the event at the information booth on Town Square.

The event is free to attend for those who simply want to watch the artists work.

The auction also will host the sale of “Greeting the Dawn,” by Edward Aldrich. He is the featured artist of this year’s Fall Arts Festival, and the image is on the festival poster.

Enjoy an open-air taste of Teton flavors

Taste of the Tetons 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11 Jackson Town Square

A

dollar doesn’t go far these days. Unless, that is, you happen to be on the Town Square during this year’s Taste of the Tetons event at the Fall Arts Festival.

For just a dollar you can buy a ticket that can be exchanged for a tasty morsel from one of the 20-odd restaurants peddling their fare during the annual event.

“It’s a great event for us as restaurants to be part of.

It’s a great way to showcase the valley’s various flavors.”

— Kendra Alessandro FINE DINING COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR

The open-air extravaganza offers one of the best ways to get a crash course in all of the arts, culture and cuisine the valley can muster, organizers say.

“We like to show off all that Jackson has to offer,” said Maureen Murphy, the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce’s director of special events. That means live music, local art, fine wine and food from some of Jackson’s highest-profile eateries. The event will take place 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11.

The Fine Dining Restaurant Group will block off a section of Town Square where revelers can sample offerings from the local restaurant chain. One example: handcranked sausages and bratwursts from the group’s new Blind Butcher line. Another Fine Dining special project that will be on display is the company’s Cream and Sugar ice cream. The artisanal dessert is made from scratch and can already be sampled at the group’s restaurants.

“It’s a great event for us as restaurants to be part of,” said Kendra Alessandro, Fine Dining director of communications. “It’s a great way to showcase the valley’s various flavors.”

Kitchen staffers from Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole’s Westbank Grill serve smoked buffalo brisket, potatoes and mushrooms at the 2014 Taste of the Tetons. The annual Fall Arts Festival event gives people a chance to taste the offerings of many restaurants and then walk to the nearby Takin’ It to the Streets art show.

In general most food and wine samples can be purchased with two to four tickets, which can be bought at any corner of the square.

Local art will be on display at the Takin’ it to the Streets art fair, hosted by the Art Association of Jackson Hole. The aim of the event is to spotlight the variety of artwork produced by local talent. Forty-four booths will be set up, showcasing everything from metalwork to paintings to jewelry.

“That was the founding reason that this event was created: so that local artists could be celebrated and spotlighted,” said Erika Bossi, owner of Signature Experience and the coordinator running the event for the Art Association.

“It’s really high-energy.”

Among those displaying artwork will be some of the finalists of the organization’s Artist of the Year competition. They include Liz Park, Walter Gerald, Anika Youcha and the winner, Emily Boespflug. Her painting will be displayed on the label of Highwater Vodka, a spirit produced by local distillery Jackson Hole Still Works.

The Rotary Supper Club will serve up wine tasting and a silent auction. All the while, live music will be bumping in the background.

There will even be something for the kids. The Howdy Pardners Ambassador Club will hold “Pinky Painting in the Park,” where young people can try their hand, or finger, at creative expression.

s foodies savor local cuisine and people mill about sipping wine, local and regional artists will make up the third element of the cultural trifecta Sunday, Sept. 11, on Town Square.

The Art Association’s Takin’ it to the Streets, an art fair strictly for local artists, will be happening alongside Taste of the Tetons and the Jackson Hole Rotary Supper Club’s Wine Tasting for a day of creativity, wine and good food.

“It’s a collaboration of all of the arts,” event organizer Erika Bossi said. “Very much like the art fairs we have, we will have a wide variety of mediums as well as the art of food.”

The locals-only art fair restriction applies only to artists. The fair was created to showcase the plentiful talent that is present in Jackson Hole but isn’t always found in larger galleries.

Artists will come from Jackson Hole, Teton Valley, Idaho, and other towns in the greater Teton region.

There are a lot of out-oftown collectors and art enthusiasts in the valley, and the locals-only art fair gives them a chance to see what people are

creating right here in Jackson Hole.

“It really is celebrating the community and what we have here at home,” Bossi said, “and there’s enough here to do that.”

Forty-four booths will showcase all types of art, including wearable fiber, jewelry, paintings, ceramics, metalwork, glass and mixed-media pieces.

“There’s something for everybody,” Bossi said.

The majority of the Art Association’s Artist of the Year finalists will be present, including painters Liz Park and Anika Youcha and printmaker Walter Gerald. The Artist of the Year herself, Emily Boespflug, will make an appearance and show her work.

Some of the booths that are must sees are those of Steven Glass, Padgett Hoke, Brit West, Lisa Walker, Give’r and the Grand Pan, Bossi said.

The fair will get going at 10 a.m. and wrap up at 4 p.m.

The booths will be set up all along Center Street on Town Square, much like the weekend farmers markets, so be aware

that parking will be limited.

The festivities are for one day only, so make sure not to miss out on your chance to buy great local art, eat local food and taste a plethora of wines.

“It’s great energy,” Bossi said.

“It’s really a lot of amazing talent — every bite of food, every sip of wine and every piece of art you behold.”

“On the Prowl” is a 26-by-32-inch oil by Fall Arts Festival featured artist Edward Aldrich. Though he paints a variety of wildlife he especially enjoys predators. “There is an intensity to them and a certain look that is just so compelling to paint,” he said.

olorado artist Edward Aldrich has always turned to wildlife as the subjects of his work, painting Africa’s feline predators and Wyoming’s bison and elk.

From his early drawings during his grade school years in Manhattan to launching his painting career after art school in Rhode Island, and now 30 years later, Aldrich continues to be inspired by the natural world.

“It was so early and so intense, it was sort of like it was just in me,” he said. “I cannot even tell you where it came from. I just know there was this intensity and love and wanting to express myself that way through animals and wildlife.”

His passion for his subject is apparent in each piece’s detail and technique, from a wolf on the prowl to a swan taking flight. Aldrich has commanded a vast following over his career and garnered many distinguished honors.

When Aldrich was in his late 20s he was juried into the Society of Animal Artists. He has a permanent collection at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. In Jackson Hole he has been one of the top wildlife artists at Mountain Trails Gallery for more than 20 years.

Aldrich’s most recent accomplishment can be seen all over Jackson Hole: the poster for the 2016 Fall Arts Festival featuring his painting of a buffalo in front of Mount Moran at dawn. He was selected to be the featured artist for the 32nd Fall Arts Festival.

“It is a privilege to be chosen out of huge amounts of artists in Jackson and to create the painting for this year’s poster, especially since the bison was chosen this year as our national mammal,” Aldrich said. “The honor speaks to the committee’s confidence in me as an artist and in my work. That I don’t take likely.”

Last January local galleries nominated people to be the festival’s featured artist. Shortly after, Maureen Murphy, director of special events at the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, was visiting Mountain Trails Gallery and noticed one of Aldrich’s paintings of a bison. She was struck by its combination of photorealism and painterly details.

ountain Trails Gallery is always trying to mix things up with an assortment of renowned artists depicting traditional representational wildlife or a more contemporary impressionistic take on the Western genre.

For Adam Warner, the gallery’s owner, the two styles go hand in hand.

“We like to cater to clients with both modern homes and traditional homes,” Warner said.“If you’re in a home and looking at a very traditional painting, and just around the corner you see a more modern landscape, I think it really enhances the look of both. I have never wanted to be the type of gallery where we didn’t showcase both.”

Warner has been the owner of Mountain Trails’ Jackson location for three years. He has two additional locations in Park City, Utah, and Sedona, Arizona.

The gallery was founded in 1991 by sculptor Vic Payne, a third-generation artist known for his monumental bronzes. Warner was the manager.

“He is a bronze artist, and he wanted to focus more on his work and less on the day to day,” Warner said of his own transition from manager to owner. “I wanted to take it to the next level. I consider him family.”

Warner said Mountain Trails is excited to celebrate wildlife painter Edward Aldrich, this year’s Fall Arts Festival featured artist (see story above). The gallery’s first featured artist for the festival was Dawyne Harty in 2011.

“The Fall Arts Festival attracts people from all over the world who fly in just for the event,” Warner said. “To have Edward be the featured artist is such great exposure for him and certainly for the gallery again. We are thrilled.”

Now living and working in Colorado, Aldrich is known for his oil paintings of wildlife, from wolves and bears to African birds and elephants.

“In my 35 years as an artist I have painted almost every kind of animal, from African animals to primates, exotic birds to North American birds, you name it,” Aldrich said. “But I do love predators: wolves to cougars to owls. There is an intensity to them and a certain look that is just so compelling to paint.”

For the Fall Arts Festival, Aldrich painted another favorite animal, a grandiose buffalo in front of Mount Moran.

“Greeting the Dawn,” a 64-by-52-inch oil, is the image on the festival’s poster.

“He is a realistic painter, but he also brings a soft edge to some areas of his paintings,” Warner said. “A lot of his paintings have this really nice 3-dimensional quality.”

Mountain Trails will host a number of events throughout the festival to celebrate Aldrich, including a poster signing and reception on Wednesday, Sept.

14, from 3 to 8 p.m. at the gallery (see box on A9).

“There gets to be such a buzz about the festival; there is a gradual buildup from when they announce the artist that is so fun,” Warner said. “He really deserves it. I can’t think of another artist that deserves it more than Edward. He works so hard for what he does, and he is so humbled by his success.”

In addition to the events focused on Aldrich, Warner is celebrating the many artists in the 21st annual Jackson Hole QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction on Saturday, Sept. 17.

Painters and sculptors create one-ofa-kind artwork outside on Town Square, and the pieces are then auctioned off to the public. Mountain Trails’ QuickDraw artists include painters Troy Collins, Lyn St. Clair and Amy Lay, and sculptors Dustin Payne and Chris Navarro.

d. “We had never had a bison as the subject our poster before, not as an actual tradinal wildlife piece.

“His paintings look like you are seeing a otograph of the animal,” she said. “He was easy choice for us.”

The featured artists for the two previous l Arts Festivals had a more contemporary yle. Last year Billy Schenck’s cowboy blended otorealism and pop art, and in 2014 Nancy unlap Cawdrey’s colorful moose was created th dye on silk. The natural next choice, Mury said, was a more traditional wildlife artist.

Aldrich’s painting, “Greeting the Dawn,” a -by-52-inch oil painting, is the culmination of etches and color studies that included bison front of the Tetons and a herd of the animals.

In the end Aldrich wanted to showcase the grandeur of the animal in front of a mountain that matched its strength.

“The thing I like about it and why it works is that Mount Moran has that more flat top to it,” he said. “It doesn’t have the jagged peaks like the Tetons.

“The bison has a very chunky, bulky look,” he said. “I wanted something a little more blunted that fit with the shape of the animal. I wanted that juxtaposition.”

Up close the poster appears to be an exact representation of the landscape and buffalo.

But if you visit the original work at the Wort Hotel, where it’s hanging, Aldrich’s painterly quality shows through.

he said. “A majority of the work in the mountains was done with a palette knife that gives a different sense of edging and feeling to it. The fine lines in the grasses are from the edge of a palette knife. The painting is a combination of my more expressive style and realism.

Whether it’s his intense take on predators or the grandeur of each bison he paints, the connection is apparent and personal. Aldrich paints from photos he has taken. Some are from a nearby friend’s bison ranch where he can get up close with the animals, and others are from his explorations of the Colorado wilderness.

“Edward embodies a lot of what Mountain Trails Gallery is going for, with really his accurate representation of anatomy and the diversity of subject,” said Adam Warner, who owns the gallery in Jackson as well as its branches in Park City, Utah, and Sedona, Arizona.

Aldrich describes his painting style as representational but not hyper-realistic. Although his works showcase the anatomy of each animal in a realistic way he enjoys leaving a trace of his personal style in each image.

“My style shifts back and forth between the more realistic and then a little bit more, not impressionism but a sense of the hand of the artist.

“I like some of my brushstrokes showing the sense of the artist being there,” he said. “Somewhere that lies between. I oscillate back and forth with the more realistic and expressive.”

Over the course of his career Aldrich has moved from studio work with immense detail to quick, more free-flowing work while painting en plain air. In 1998 he released a book about his style called “Drawing and Painting Animals.” It features more than 100 of his paintings and drawings with tips and a deep dive into his process.

“I put it out for everyone to see and use and get inspired by,” Aldrich said. “Prior to the book I was doing more of work with layering and glazing. A piece would take a long time with a lot of layers to it.

‘I wanted something that was a little more immediate, less labor intensive and more expressive,” he said. “The plein air style forced me to do that.”

For Aldrich it is about always keeping it interesting.

He will be in Jackson Hole for the Fall Arts Festival, participating in poster signings and receptions at Mountain Trails Gallery.

“Greeting the Dawn” will be auctioned Saturday, Sept. 17, to cap the QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction.

Sylvia Pack is an artist; she paints miniatures of the Tetons. Then, her vision deteriorated. “It was like looking out a dirty window,” she says.

Immediately after cataract surgery with St. John’s eye surgeon Dr. Jamie Monroe, the improvement was dramatic. Her restriction to drive with glasses was removed. Best of all, she can see what she’s painting again. “What I enjoy most is seeing the colors of the outdoors.”

here’s art you want to look at, art you want to listen to and even art you want to taste.

You’ll find all three kinds on Town Square during the Jackson Hole Rotary Supper Club’s Fall Arts Festival Wine Tasting and Silent Auction.

“We don’t often have the opportunity to meet world-class artisans and share in their world while enjoying some great wines,” said Natalie Jones, president of the Rotary Supper Club.

The wine tasting and silent auction will take place on the north side of Town Square during the Fall Arts Festival’s Taste of the Tetons event. You’ll be able to easily find the event under a big white tent from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11.

The tasting will showcase a variety of local, regional and foreign vineyards. The auction will feature more than 100 items from around the region and the valley.

“The tent is always full, and it’s a fun place to run into friends and just enjoy the day,” Jones said.

To participate in the tasting you’ll need to buy a branded wine glass — a Jackson Hole collector’s item, according to Jones — for $5 and tasting tickets for $2. You won’t need a glass or a ticket to participate in the silent auction or the raffles.

In the past vintners have represented their own wines at the tasting. If you love what you’re drinking you’ll be in luck: All of the wines will be available for purchase locally.

In addition to bidding on silent auction items visitors to the tent will enjoy live music.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to Honoring Our Veterans, which brings wounded veterans to the Tetons for immersive and healing activities in the fresh mountain air. Last year was the first time Honoring Our Veterans was the focus of the wine tasting and silent auction fundraising efforts.

“Our club is small but we are mighty, and the list of things we want to accomplish just keeps growing,” Jones said.

“We’re excited to work with them again this year. They do amazing work, and we are so proud to be able to provide some financial assistance.”

It takes a lot of behind-the-scenes effort to pull off the wine tasting event.

“We have always been fortunate to have the support of so many local businesses and individuals who generously donate items and experiences such as float trips and vacation homes,” Jones said. “In turn, the community has always been great in supporting us by aggressively bidding on those items. There’s literally something for everyone.”

Jones said the club is offering some surprises this year.

“I think the greatest challenge is always trying to elevate the event and mix it up a little,” she said.

“September and the Fall Arts Festival are a special time in Jackson Hole,” Jones said. “The locals sneak back out after a busy summer, and artisans from all over the world quietly converge and share their worth with the community.

“It’s an enormous event, culturally and physically,” Jones said. “But the feeling is so intimate and personal.”

Folks who take the tour of the annual Jackson Hole Showcase of Homes get an inside look at some architectural masterpieces around the valley. This Shooting Star home with a contemporary decor was one of the properties in the 2014 event.

S

ome of Jackson Hole’s largest and greatest works of art are hidden away from the eyes of the general public.

They are the beautiful, customdesigned private residences scattered throughout the valley.

Few people ever get to see these works by local architects and designers, except during the Jackson Hole Showcase of Homes, organized by Circ Designs and Homestead Magazine for the Fall Arts Festival season.

“Local design professionals are tasked with creating works of art in the valley that are generally not viewed by the public and thus can’t be appreciated,” said Latham Jenkins, founder and president of Circ Designs. “The showcase is meant to be a platform that gives public access to local professionals and the works they create.”

Four private homes will be open to ticket holders during the fourth annual showcase. The event offers rare opportunities to have a conversation with the architects and designers in the homes they brought to life.

It’s a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the homes’ architecture and the processes that goes into creating what become functional pieces of art, Jenkins said.

Each house has a story that is told through the design.

Unlike a “parade of homes,” which might feature a variety of similar houses, the requirement for the showcase is that each home must have unique design features, Jenkins said.

To represent the Jackson Hole market, the houses show a range of the architectural styles that can be found in the valley. Usually the homes are contemporary-looking. They are also scattered throughout the valley to give

people a feeling for the different neighborhoods and settings.

“But most important is the unique design that’s really reflective of a sense of place,” Jenkins said.

One home in this year’s showcase is located in John Dodge. Last year architect Michael Howells designed a full remodel of the home. The crew completely gutted the house. No surface inside the house was left untouched.

The walls were stripped to the studs.

New floors were installed. Some of the rooms were reconfigured, and all new finishes were installed.

The result is a new home with clean lines that at first looks simple. But creating the design was actually incredibly complicated, Howells said.

The 5,000-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bath house sits on 10 acres but it isn’t a traditional mountain home. The owners are from Chicago and wanted to integrate their metropolitan tastes.

“It’s very Western, but with an urban twist,” Howells said. “There is some elegance and also comfort, and it’s relaxed and fairly refined in terms of detailing.”

The centerpiece is the fireplace. The home is all one level, allowing people to wander the house and experience the landscape in different ways without negotiating stairs and levels.

“For a very fine home there’s a certain modesty to it,” Howells said. “It doesn’t have libraries or home theaters or a media room or any of that stuff.”

The home is simple, but the finishes are exceptional, Howells said.

The Showcase of Homes is also a fundraiser. Money raised from ticket sales go to the homeowners’ choice of nonprofits.

“It’s a fundraising event to showcase the marvel of designs we have in Jackson Hole,” Jenkins said.

The Showcase of Homes is a selfguided tour. A $75 ticket, available at JacksonHoleShowcase.com, provides access on both days of the event. Designers and architects will be in the homes from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, and Saturday, Sept. 17.

Art Brunch to wrap up 2016 arts fest

Art Brunch Gallery Walk 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Sunday, Sept. 18 Downtown Jackson

J

ackson Hole’s 2016 Fall Arts Festival wraps up with one more chance to browse the galleries, consider

last-minute purchases and enjoy some bites and beverages.

The Art Brunch Gallery Walk will start at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 18.

Participating galleries will provide an array of mouth-watering brunch foods complete with refreshing mimosas and spicy bloody marys courtesy of the Liquor Store.

The brunch is an appetizing conclusion to the 32st annual Fall Arts Festival, and it’s an

event that locals and tourists always remember.

Artist Tracy Sheppard came to the valley to see the mountains but also to learn about the Western art scene.

Visiting from New Mexico, Sheppard found last year’s brunch to be the “perfect end to a charming and memorable series of events.”

After meeting fellow artists and experiencing the beauty of the surrounding landscape,

she promised to return to Jackson again at the same time of year to do it all over.

“It was more unique and special than I could have imagined,” Sheppard said, “and very palatable.”

Also, the Jackson Hole Gallery Association will move its usual Third Thursday Art Walk up a day during the Fall Art Festival. More than 30 galleries are expected to participate in the Wednesday, Sept.

14, Art Walk, set for 5 to 8 p.m.

In many locations, artists will be present to talk about their work and even demonstrate their techniques. Some galleries will offer wine and munchies, too.

The Sept. 18 Art Brunch Gallery Walk will go to about 3 p.m. View the gallery map at JacksonHoleChamber.com, or look for balloon displays above the doors of galleries participating in the event.

Ranch tours offer look at past and present Historic Ranch Tours of Triangle X Ranch and Snake River Ranch 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10

The ranch is known for producing beef with no hormones and no antibiotics.

What’s more, the ranch also stands out for a forward-thinking mission to “enhance our land and improvements” while operating a business.

“A big part of our story is to maintain this working landscape through responsible stewardship,” Hauge said.

“We protect wildlife while we optimize the grass that we grow for the cattle to eat.”

By Kate Hull

T

his summer Robert Turner spoke with a guest at Triangle X Ranch as she tearfully recalled a trip with her family nearly 50 years ago.

“It’s exactly the way she remembered it,” Turner said.

That’s just how Triangle X Ranch wants to remain: the same.

Robert is the fourth generation of Turner family members keeping the Triangle X Ranch tradition alive and well in Jackson Hole. His great-grandparents, John S. and Maytie Turner, bought the ranch in 1926. Part of the property was sold to the Snake River Land Company, which represented the Rockefeller family and became part of Grand Teton National Park, but the Turners continued to operate the rest of the land as a dude ranch.

Families from all over have visited the ranch to experience the lure of the West, from horseback rides and cowboys to barbecues and square dances.

“A traditional dude ranch like ours brings back the taste of the West,” Turner said. “It centers on horses, family and friendships. It’s about being outside and enjoying it, mostly from the back of your horse, and reconnecting with each other and the outdoors environment.”

2016 marks the 90th anniversary of Triangle X Ranch. The Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce is helping celebrate its history by sharing the ranch with Fall Arts Festival guests during the Historic Ranch Tours on Saturday, Sept. 10, hosted by Mountain Living

“Visitors and locals will get to go behind the scenes at both of these places.”

TRAVIS J. GARNER / NEWS&GUIDE FILE

Visitors explore the hay loft of a Snake River Ranch barn, where the original 1930 carpentry is intact. Snake River Ranch and Triangle X Ranch will be the hosts of this year’s Historic Ranch Tours, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 10, during the Fall Arts Festival.

magazine.

The event “provides history buffs, wannabe cowgirls and cowboys, and aficionados of the West with a glimpse into the rich past of ranching,” said Darla Worden, editor-in-chief of Mountain Living. “Visiting the Triangle X Ranch this year during its 90th anniversary is a bonus. The tour typically sells out, so visitors will want to buy their tickets in advance through the Jackson Hole Chamber.”

A unique event in the Fall Arts Festival lineup, the tour celebrates Jackson from the lens of Western cultural heritage.

“It is totally different than the rest of Fall Arts Festival,” said Maureen Murphy, the director of special events at the chamber. “It celebrates our culture in a different way, sharing with people what Jackson has to offer as far as the culture and history the West.”

The tour begins at 2 p.m. Guests will leave the Home Ranch parking lot and head to the Snake River Ranch. Then the tour will head to Triangle X for drinks, country music, Western hospitality and all the fixings of a downhome ranch night.

“These are both longstanding traditions in Jackson: agricultural and dude ranches,” said Barbara Hauge, a thirdgeneration member of the Snake River Ranch founding family. “Visitors and locals will get to go behind the scenes at both of these places.”

Snake River Ranch was founded in 1929 and is celebrating its 86th year in the cattle business. The ranch produces natural beef by “buying superior natural calves from ranches in the western United States, growing them for a year and delivering them to top feedlots,” according to its mission statement.

— Barbara Hauge SNAKE RIVER RANCH

The Historic Ranch Tour is a way for Hauge and her family to continue to educate the public on how they run the business.

“We are very enthusiastic about every chance we have to bring the public onto the ranch to tell them what we do and to answer their question,” she said.

“Most people are not a part of this sort of world even if they eat burgers and steaks, but they enjoy learning about it. We welcome the chance to tell them our story.”

Buses for the tour will leave the Home Ranch parking lot at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $60 and are available through the Chamber of Commerce. Live music and catering is to be determined, but one things for sure: It will be a fun night celebrating Jackson Hole’s Western heritage.

Painters, writers find inspiration in park

By Teresa Griswold

W

hile poets and painters have drawn inspiration from nature for centuries, Jackson Hole artists and authors immerse themselves in the wild all year long with the mighty Tetons as an impressive backdrop. They craft their art with a dedication to the environment. More than inspiration, creating in the environment is a given for these artists.

Sheila Tintera, a landscape oil painter and printmaker living in Kelly, paints with the Teton Plein Air Painting Group, which will provide opportunities for spectators to watch and ask questions on Saturday, Sept. 10, the final installment of the Artists in the Environment summer series.

Tintera said painting in the environment is exhilarating, hard work and ultimately freeing.

Working in the open air or, as the French say, “en plein air,” is a way for artists to capture natural light and color. Typically a complete work of art is painted in one outdoor session.

Though Tintera’s paintings often begin “under open skies

said, they evolve once she is back in her studio.

“I don’t consider myself a plein air painter, but since all my paintings do begin from direct observation, it’s essential to my process to be immersed in the environment that I’m depicting,” Tintera said. “My aim is to freely express a sense of place or that one special thing that initially caught my attention through color and other formal elements.”

directs the public to the artists in the field and encourages conversation with them, said watching the painters at work resonates with visitors, and especially with children.

“Sometimes they have a little journal they are doing themselves,” Miller said, “and they share that with the artists.”

And it goes both ways. Tintera enjoys sharing her vision of the park and talking to visitors while she paints outdoors.

Kids, especially like it, she said: “They’re usually so ex-

cited and often overwhelmed at the majesty of Grand Teton National Park. It is a shared enthusiasm of animal sightings, favorite locales and sometimes even the art.”

Tintera will join more than a dozen painters from the Teton Plein Air Painting Group — including Eliot Goss, Carlyn Hunter, Michele Jenkinson, Fred Kingwill, Diane Lyon, June Nystrom, Andrew Taylor, Susan M. Rose, Richard Tambor and Rosemarie Thomas — to demonstrate their craft. They will paint from 9 a.m. to noon at the Menor’s Ferry Historic District in Grand Teton National Park, referencing the landscape for motifs and working in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pen and ink.

Although there will be no formal instruction, visiting artists who come to observe the Artists in the Environment series are welcome to set up their own paint boxes and watch or ask questions.

Local poet Connie Wieneke will lead the final installment of the Writers in the Park summer series. Writing participants will gather at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Craig Thomas Discovery and Visitor Center in Moose..

Wildlife photographer Henry Holdsworth, owner of Wild By Nature gallery, will lead a Photographers in the Park session at 7 a.m. Participants will gather at Schwabacher Landing.

hat do you get when you mix ice cream or bloody marys with

fine art?

Usually a cleaning bill and some pointed looks. But not the way Astoria Fine Art does things during Fall Arts Festival season.

Managing partner Greg Fulton picked up the pace in late June — way before the festival’s buzz began — by running new shows every 10 days. Revved up for Jackson Hole’s premier festival of all things art, Astoria’s September gallery lineup pairs world-famous painters with likewise renowned sculptors.

And it all starts with a favorite frozen concoction.

Those who don’t think of the art world as a family affair don’t understand the philosophy behind the Fulton family’s business. Their kickoff event, the Palates and Palettes ice cream social from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 9, revolves around root beer floats. And art.

“The ice cream social is targeted to families,” Fulton said. “I have two little kids. I host a family event where little kids can come.”

Other events in his lineup are of the white wine or champagne and hors d’oeuvres variety, but then there’s the bloody mary brunch, an event Fulton said

Jill Soukup’s repertoire includes fare, like “Cowboy Swirl,” an oil, but also East Coast seascapes and urban architectural studies.

some people come back for year after year as part of their Art Fest vacation.

Astoria is offering something for just about everyone with its featured artists.

On Thursday, Sept. 15, Western scenes by painter and Colorado native Jill Soukup will appear along with her East Coast

seascapes and urban architectural studies.

“Jill is known for her horses and bison,” Fulton said, but she is a versatile artist whose works include paintings of Prague.

Soukup will be paired with a sculptor whose monumental work now adorns Jackson Hole Airport: Maryland’s Bart Walter.

Their event takes place from 2 to 5 p.m.

Walter’s airport sculpture, A Battle of Wills, features a rider and a bucking horse. The full-scale statue has the Teton range as its backdrop as it greets visitors.

Two smaller versions of Walter’s sculpture will be for sale.

So will a reduced-scale jackrabbit that mirrors the larger one in the airport installation — a visual enhancement to the main piece to show that the pitched contest between man and beast is happening on the open range, not in some rodeo arena.

Soukup’s art will be sold by draw, the lucky winners getting to purchase their selections.

“Acquiring her originals has become somewhat of a challenge for collectors,” Fulton said.

On Friday, Sept. 16, look for original works by sculptor Josh Tobey, whose unique bronze patinas give his wildlife sculptures their signature stone-like glow, paired with 10 works by Dubois painter Greg Beecham.

Beecham’s art is so popular it also will be sold by draw on Saturday, at high noon, Fulton said.

Their event, from 1 to 4 p.m., will also show off 50 of Tobey’s statues. The Santa Fe, New Mexico, artist is carrying on the family talent: His parents are ceramic and bronze sculptors Gene and Rebecca Tobey. He started his sculpting and casting at age 6 and four years later was already helping in his dad’s studio.

Fulton said Tobey invented his patina technique.

Saturday, Sept. 17, brings the legendary QuickDraw contest to Town Square, but inside the Astoria gallery there will be a multi-artist reception from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.

On Sunday, Sept. 18, the Farewell to Fall Arts Festival bloody mary brunch takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The gallery, in its 10th year, has original art created by contemporary artists and selected works by historical artists. The artists are from 20 states and five countries, the “lion’s share” from the Rocky Mountain West region, and three of those from Wyoming.

“Those artists aren’t really chosen because they’re from Wyoming, “ Fulton said. “I’d represent them wherever they live.”

L

ondon may not be the first city that comes to mind when you’re looking for nature, but for British artist Claire Brewster it’s home to the inspiration behind her avian creations.

“London is a city full of nature, which often surprises people,” Brewster said. “I regularly see foxes and squirrels, and there are many types of birds around my neighborhood.

“It’s such a joy to be surrounded by all this nature in such a big, dirty and sometimes hard city,” she said.

Brewster creates intricate paper sculptures, often in the shape of birds, hand-cut from vintage maps.

A show of her latest body of work, “A Conference of Birds,” will open 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, at Diehl Gallery’s downtown location during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk.

“I’ve always loved paper,” Brewster said, “the feel of it, the fact that you can use it in so many ways, that it is strong and fragile at the same time and it comes in so many forms.”

She starts a project with drawings, figuring out how the paper sculpture will work and creating a template, which is then stuck on the back of the map she is using.

She then uses a scalpel knife to cut the figures out of the paper map.

Once the pieces are cut, she arranges them in a pattern on a foam core board. Once the pattern is determined the pinning begins. With pins normally used for silk and lace, Brewster creates an almost floating effect.

The birds are pinned flat and then delicately raised up.

Brewster looks for lightness and flow in her arrangements, spending a lot of time tweaking before a work is complete.

“If I’m working with a group of birds I will always use odd numbers,” she said. “Somehow an even number always looks wrong.”

Birds are endlessly fascinating, Brewster said. The shape of birds works well for her sculptures, and their natural drive to form flocks makes them even more ap-

pealing to her.

“I also imagine that, as they literally have a bird’seye view of the world, that they are a bit angry with us as to how we treat this beautiful planet,” Brewster said.

“They see the world in a way that we don’t, and I love to imagine what that might be like.”

Brewster could have cut her birds out of any kind of paper, but she is drawn to maps, particularly vintage maps from the early 20th century. The print quality and the paper are a joy to use, she said.

But she also loves the idea of how maps create a controlled view of the world.

“We are so used to seeing our world mapped out for us that I like the subversion of taking those maps and making them fly,” she said.

Brewster knows people respond to art in different ways, and she hopes that people will respond in their own way. But she also hopes her work brings the same joy and beauty that it brings to her own life.

“I’d like to hope that people will be moved in some way by my work, even if it’s not in a good way,” she said.

“And for the moment they are looking at the work they are reminded of the beauty, joy and power of nature.”

“A Conference of Birds” will be the focal point of the gallery for the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk and will hang through Oct. 30. As part of the show, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 13, birds of prey from the Teton Raptor Center will visit the gallery, to educate and entertain. A portion of sales from the show will benefit the nonprofit.

From 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7, Durant’s paintings will be available for public viewing at the Tram Club.

Durant has an enduring love for wildlife, one that is evident in her work. Her paintings are contemporary, with a loose style, and depict many of the animals found around the valley, including moose, horses, wolves, elk.

To wrap up the festival Diehl Gallery will host a brunch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18. The “Western Visions Celebration Salon” will celebrate the work of Durant and Les Thomas. Both artists were juried into the Western Visions Show and Sale at the National Museum of Wildlife Art (see page B6). Attendees will be able to see more of their work and sip mimosas.

“Jackson is home to some of the most exceptional galleries in the western U.S.,” gallery owner Mariam Diehl said. “Though some of them have expanded their collections to include more contemporary works, we were at the forefront, along with just a few other galleries, of pushing the boundaries and exhibiting more contemporary work in what was always a very traditional market.

“Having done so for more than 10 years now, we’ve established a reputation for excellent work, top-notch artists and a contemporary collection that rivals those found in galleries in major U.S. cities,” she said. “For a small town in the West we’re pretty swell.”

Legacy shares visions of young painters Legacy Gallery 75 N. Cache St. 307-733-2353 LegacyGallery.com

By Dina Mishev

L

egacy Gallery is one of the valley’s oldest galleries, but it is showcasing two of its younger artists during the Fall Arts Festival: Luke Frazier and Glenn Dean.

Not that Legacy is highlighting the paintings of these two artists because of their age.

“Collectors are really drawn to their work,” gallery co-owner Brad Richardson said. “The Fall Arts Festival is a time to connect with collectors.”

The Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk will serve as the kickoff for Frazier’s show.

Frazier, the festival’s featured artist in 2007, spends time traveling to observe wildlife — Alaska and Africa are favorite destinations — and is well known for his wildlife paintings. The Utah native also does sporting art, and “it was mutually agreed upon that we’d focus on that with this show,” Richardson says. “There are not many artists as skilled as Luke is painting hunting and flyfishing scenes.”

Glenn Dean paints cowboys and Western landscapes with visible brushtrokes and radiant colors. This is “A Cowboy’s Romance.”

That is because Frazier paints more than scenes. His work is informed by personal experience.

He began hunting and fishing when he was a kid. His sporting art has been featured in Field & Stream, Gray’s Sporting Journal and Sporting Classics magazines. Most of the hunting pieces in this show feature bird dogs.

“They’re quail hunting or

pheasant hunting stories,” Richardson said.

It was also as a kid that Frazier first began sketching and sculpting. He grew up to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and a Master of Fine Arts in illustration from Utah State University.

Recent profiles of him in art magazines compare his work to that of Bob Kuhn and Carl Rungius. Frazier said he draws inspiration from too many artists to count, but the group includes Winslow Homer, Tom Lovell, Howard Terpning, Ken Carlson, Charlie Russell and Phillip Goodwin.

He appreciates their work for the same reason collectors are drawn to his sporting pieces:

Fannie Nampeyo b. 1900-1987 | Hopi

LuAnn Tayfoya b. 1938 | Santa Clara Daughter of Margaret Tayfoya

The paintings tell a story.

“I’m always following the light, looking for the different values, shapes and colors — the emotional color of a scene,” Frazier’s artist’s statement says.

The opening reception for Glenn Dean’s one-man show is from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16.

Like Frazier, Dean is a longtime Legacy artist. Kind of.

Richardson said the gallery represented Dean “many years ago.” Dean left after a time, though. His work has been back at Legacy for about two years now.

This is his first one-man show in his second Legacy period.

“Glenn has definitely evolved into a different painter than when we represented him previously,”

Richardson says. “Every artist has their own voice, and Glenn is no exception. He has a very distinct look that he has created, and collectors really like it.”

Dean’s paintings of cowboys and landscapes are undeniably Western art, but they are stylized in a way that takes them out of the “traditional” category.

Inspired by early California impressionist painters like Maynard Dixon and Edgar Payne, Dean’s work features carefully placed, visible brushstrokes and radiant colors.

“Just because Glenn’s paintings are stylized is not why collectors like them,” Richardson says. “There is so much about his work that draws you in.”

“Blue Moose” by Helen Durant is part of Western Visions ...

... as is “Stepping Out” by Jackson Hole artist September Vhay.

A new vision for Western Visions 2820 Rungius Road (307) 733-5771 WildlifeArt.org

By Julie Butler

T

he National Museum of Wildlife Art has been tweaking Western Visions, its signature fundraising event, for a few years now, trying to keep it fresh and interesting for Fall Arts Festival goers.

In 2014 the show was renamed Wild 100 from the mouthful of a title: Western Visions Miniatures and More Show and Sale. That year the museum reduced the number of participating artists from 150 to 100.

For 2016 the number of artists in Western Visions has once again been scaled down, now to 77, and the Wild 100 is no more.

“The decision to reduce the number of artists this year from 100 to 77,” said Amy Goicoechea, director of programs and events, “was made with our committee to just scale back the show a bit.

“Frankly, fewer artists and fewer works make the event a little more intimate for the collector and buyer,” she said. “Hence the loss of the name Wild 100.”

Highlighting “just” 77 wildlife artists from around the world will also keep the 29th annual Western Visions Show and Sale more manageable for the museum, Goicoechea said.

As has been done the preceding 28 years, each Western Visions artist has been invited to submit up to three works: a miniature, a sketch and a midsize piece. All pieces submitted will hang together, a change implemented last year.

“Not only is it easy to find an artist’s work in one spot,

but it is easier for the artist to communicate with the collector, as it puts them both in one place,” Goicoechea said.

The time for artist and collector to be together is at the Western Visions Artists Party, from 6 to 9 p.m.

Thursday, Sept. 15, and at the annual show and sale from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16. Both parties take place at the museum.

But the true opening of the museum’s biggest fundraiser happens 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, when it “really kicks off the show for the festival” ahead of Palates and Palettes in town, Goicoechea said.

The museum will also provide stationary tablets in galleries where people can bid, along with roaming volunteers to help people on their phones or with a museum-owned tablet.

“It’s super cool,” Goicoechea said. “If someone is really interested in a certain artist, they can go online and register to place a mobile bid — they don’t have to be at the museum where they would normally bid as in year’s past.

“We used to do remote bidding via proxy,” she said, “but now that remote bidding can be done with their mobile device, wherever they are in the world.”

Art auction gets mobile

Invitational artist energy

Perhaps the biggest new changes for Western Visions are in the bidding class form and the way the art will be sold.

“For 28 years we have sold a lot of the work via an intense purchase or random draw,” Goicoechea said. “But we have eliminated that this year, so all paintings will be sold by silent auction on a mobile bidding platform. Collectors will use their smartphones or tablets to submit their bids and they will get a text notification if their bid has been outbid.”

Director of Marketing Jennifer Marshall Weydeveld calls the new bidding system one of the “really great additions” to this year’s show.

“The engaging and easy-to-use mobile bidding will work seamlessly on any type of mobile phone or tablet,” Weydeveld said. “Guests will be able to browse auction items, place bids and pay for their items with the tap of a finger. The entire process — browsing, bidding and paying — is streamlined from start to finish,” she said.

Users of the program will receive a text message with a link to commence bidding at the museum’s Sept. 9 Palates and Palettes party or after being checked in for the artists party and the final show and sale the following week.

The institution continues to establish a specific energy for the Western Visions Show and Sale with the goal each year of having at least 20 percent of the artist cadre be fresh and new to the event.

“I am truly excited about each and every one of our amazing artists — veteran and new — whose exceptional work ensures the success of the fundraiser,” Goicoechea said. “I look forward to meeting many of the new artists who may attend this year.”

Seventy to 80 percent of the artists usually attend the events, including nine from the Teton area: Scott Christensen, Jennifer Hoffman, Amy Lay, Amy Ringholz, Bill Sawczuk, Tucker Smith, Kathryn Turner, September Vhay, Jim Wilcox and Kathy Wipfler.

Artists come from all over the United States as well as the world. Some of those making their debut at the show this year include Canadian sketch artist and painter Michael Dumas, English sculptor, painter and sketch artist Nicola Hicks, Chris Maynard, Brad Rude, Tamara K. Ruiz and George Boorujy.

“It’s always exciting to have someone new,” Goicoechea said. “Chris Maynard, for example, carves feathers into intricate art. It’s a unique medium and they’re really beautiful.”

“Sparrow’s Rest” by Michael Dumas is an oil on Russian birch, and measures 10 by 23 inches. It will be auctioned as part of Western Visions Show and Sale.

“As the museum moves forward and has become an international destination,” said Kavar Kerr, co-chairman of the Western Visions committee, “we aim to evolve Western Visions by inviting innovative, promising artists in addition to the established, internationally acclaimed artists that are part of our permanent collection.”

The museum will celebrate its 30th

birthday in 2017. The pride and excitement surrounding that milestone is affecting this year’s Western Visions.

“Western Visions has been a very important fundraiser since the establishment of the National Museum of Wildlife Art 29 years ago,” Kerr said. “Going into our 30th anniversary year we want people to know that we are committed to the integrity, quality and spirit Western Visions has had since the inception.

“Approaching our 30th anniversary we want to celebrate our current and past patrons for being longtime supporters, as well as welcome and encourage new collectors to the show and sale,” Kerr said.

“We are proud to be a signature Fall Arts Festival event.”

Farewell to Fall Champagne Brunch 11-3 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 18

F

rom Russia to Spain to Canada to Italy, artists have come together to showcase work at Horizon.

From oils to bronze to photography and glass, there is an incredible eclecticism of geography, mood and material in the gallery that could effectively be described as encyclopedic in scope.

While there are three local artists in the mix — Kay Stratman, Laurie Thal and Shannon Troxler — the majority of the artists are from all over the world.

“Our lives revolve around art,” gallery owner Barbara Nowak said.

Originally from northern Illinois, Nowak came to Jackson in 1976. While working for another gallery she discovered she had a keen eye for art and decided to “expand my horizons.” Though she had never studied art or worked as an artist, Nowak knew what her clients wanted.

“I’m a self-made woman,” Nowak said. “I just have an eye for art.”

Mike McCormick, gallery administrator for the past four years, felt a similar affinity for understanding the client and seeing the value of an authentic work of art.

While he likewise came from a background outside art, studying psychology, he found that communication and empathy were key in maintaining a successful gallery.

“I’m not a snooty gallery owner,” Nowak said. “We have to bring in things that don’t speak to us. Keep an open eye.”

With a gallery that has lasted for 18 years in a town consistently experiencing turnover, Nowak relies on never-ending evolution to meet the needs of her clients.

As you walk through the gallery the eclecticism of the collection is emphatic if not excessive. When you enter the front door there are woodworkings, photographs on Gampi bush bark from Japan by Pete Zaluzec.

As you step farther into the gallery there is pop art by Florida native Holly Manneck, melancholic oils

by Kevin Courter, urban landscapes by Mark Lague and, again, a seemingly endless variety of paintings, jewelry, sculptures and glassworks. Clients can find

“We are Startdust” is by Kay Stratman, one of three artists who will demonstrate their work at Horizon Fine Art Gallery during the final two days of the Fall Arts Festival.

anything they want by narrowing in on a piece, or withdraw entirely under the inordinate construction of the refractory environment.

The gallery originated on Center Street in 1998, and has since moved to the quieter King Street, across from King Sushi.

“You couldn’t pay me to be on the Town Square,” Nowak said.

She said the minor separation from downtown provides a tranquility that lets clients appreciate the art.

“We have a dense and eclectic collection,” McCormick said.

He said the aim is to cater to a broad audience.

The gallery started Western and traditional. Not wanting to go belly-up in a year, Nowak played it safe and stuck with what was familiar to Jackson: Western

and wildlife art. But with a few years of success and experience she dived into the diversity of a more global sensibility. Influenced by European art, she brought in masters from England, Spain, Italy and China.

While the collection constantly evolves, the artists showcased remain celebrated and treasured for years.

Three of these artists will be demonstrating their work during the two final days of the Fall Arts Festival.

Mark Kelso, from Indiana, is a photorealist painter.

His work joins a lifelong study of nature and civilization with wildlife and landscape.

“More and more I’m painting subjects with stories … meant to reflect emotions and ideas that we would quickly assign to ‘human nature,’” Kelso said.

Kay Stratman, from Wyoming, describes her work as “controlled spontaneity.” She focuses on mountainscapes and empty spaces expressed through splash ink, also known as “p’o mo,” on gold-covered “shikishi” board or rice paper.

Caleb Meyer, of Montana, is an oil painter. From subjects as varied as cable cars and bicycles to rain, his work is strikingly bright and emotive. There is a playfulness and vibrancy that sharpens his work, and an abstraction that softens it.

Like the artists showcased for the festival, the art of the gallery is always different, always fresh and new.

Nowak said many of her clients are returns, with two homes — one in Jackson Hole — and variable tastes.

She said 98 percent of her art is shipped out of Wyoming, meaning many long-term, long-distance clients.

Evolving perspectives and fresh ideas are vital to the sustained success of the gallery, and that’s a challenge Nowak is eager to command.

“Art speaks to you, speaks to so many people in different ways,” Nowak said.

It’s that love of difference that sustains Nowak’s gallery as a fresh scene on the horizon.

he 2016 Fall Arts Festival packs an amazing number of events into a short time.

Trailside Galleries follows that lead.

This year the gallery will host shows for four artists during the festival.

And during the first weekend of the festival, it will hold the Jackson Hole Art Auction, presented with Santa Fe, New Mexico’s Gerald Peters Gallery. In the 10 years since its founding the Jackson Hole Art Auction has become the pre-eminent annual auction of living and deceased Western masters (read more about it on page D2).

The four artists spotlighted at Trailside during this year’s Fall Arts Festival are Adam Smith, Bonnie Marris, Dustin Van Wechel and Brent Cotton.

draw. Cotton does landscapes and sporting art.

Smith and Van Wechel have been with Trailside for nearly a decade. Marris has been with the gallery for about 20 years.

This is Cotton’s first major show at the gallery.

“Brent shows at Prix de West,” said Trailside Galleries managing partner Maryvonne Leshe, “so we convinced him to do a major show with us. There will be

Four artists, four shows Through Sept. 30: Brent Cotton: ‘Capturing the Light’ Dustin Van Wechel: ‘Narratives in Nature’ Adam Smith: ‘Sharing My Vision’ Bonnie Marris: ‘Immersed in the Wild’ Open house for the artists: 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.

about one dozen new works by Cotton.

“These are really some of the finest-quality artists we have,” Leshe said. “Adam, Bonnie and Dustin are some of our finest wildlife artists. I wanted to bring in Brent so that it wasn’t all figurative wildlife. Lots of his scenes are Montana and Wyoming’s famous fly-fishing rivers.”

Cotton started painting as a kid; his grandmother was a watercolorist and gave him his first lessons. Although Cotton now paints in oil, his work retains some of the luminosity often found in watercolors.

“He does lots of twilight and backlit scenes, light filtered through trees,” Leshe said.

“There is a moody sense to his paintings.”

Cotton describes his work as tonalist/luminist, styles made popular in the late 1800s.

Fine

Marris’ animals are realistic, but not mere studies. Her animals have souls.

“We all know that our dogs and cats have personalities and their own ways of being,” she said in her artist’s statement.

“Well, this is also true of grizzlies, of horses or wolves — all nature’s creatures.

“Once in Alaska, about 30 yards from my campsite, one wolf from a pack of 20 got down on her front elbows and wagged her tail at me in play mode,” she said. “Another time a coyote spent a whole morning watching me watch a grizzly — and then hiked with me all afternoon and sat on a nearby hillside while I waited for more bears.”

Van Wechel’s work is “slightly more impressionist,” Leshe said.

In his artist’s statement Van

Wechel writes, “Painting wildlife provides a well of opportunity to communicate not only my personal experiences and perceptions of my subjects but also provides a window into understanding what moves me as an artist and who I am as a person.”

Van Wechel finds inspiration everywhere, but “it’s wildlife and landscapes where I am most driven to paint,” he says.

While Van Wechel came to fine art after an eight-year career in advertising, Smith was born to it. His father, Daniel, is a wildlife artist.

“We always had a variety of animals in and around our house — from ducks, rabbits, parrots and iguanas to the more domestic horses and dogs,” Smith says in his artist’s statement. “Life was never dull (or quiet) around our house.”

When he was 16, Smith started drawing animals. Two years later he won the Montana Junior Duck Stamp competition.

In 2006, at age 22, Smith started painting with acrylics.

“Many people assume that I taught Adam how to paint or that he picked it up by watching me work throughout his 22 years,” his father said at that time. “The fact is that his talent is innate. I did not teach him how to paint.

“Once he painted a small portrait of an African lion to see if he could paint fur,” he said. “When he presented me with the finished work I was shocked because it looked like I painted it.

Adam has a gift.”

Trailside will host an open house for the four artists from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 17.

hen you think of the paintings of Ray McCarty, chances are certain kinds of images come to mind.

A roguish gent in a black cowboy hat standing at the bar of an old-fashioned Western saloon, holding a cigar in one hand and a bosomy saloon girl in the other.

A pretty painted lady in a red corset pouring champagne while giving the viewer a come-hither look. Mustachioed poker players with stacks of chips on the table. The paintings are colorful, evocative and sometimes romantic.

Maybe you’ve seen some at the West Lives On gallery in Jackson or the Wort Hotel’s Silver Dollar Bar. McCarty, 82, said that early on he had a more abstract style, but then fell in love with the work of a certain 19thcentury artist who often painted Parisian prostitutes, dancers and nightclub scenes.

“I started off standing on ladders, dripping paint,” McCarty, 82, said. “I started that way, and I ended up more the Toulouse Lautrec of the West.”

McCarty has hit the jackpot with his saloon girls, gamblers and cowboys. Bob Dylan has some of his paintings, he said, and Steve Wynn, a mogul in the world of luxury casinos and hotels, has more than 40.

But he also has some new work to show that’s in a more

Gallery to host Cawdry show In 2014 the Fall Arts Festival’s featured painter was Nancy Dunlop Cawdry, known for her bright French dye paintings on silk.

This year the Montana artist may not be the featured artist for the entire festival, but she will be featured at West Lives On, which carries her work in its contemporary gallery.

A show of her work will open Thursday, Sept. 15, with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. The show will run through Sunday, Sept. 25.

Ray McCarty is one of several artists whose work can be found in West Lives On’s contemporary and traditional galleries.

“When a Man Loves a Woman,” a 24-by-36-inch oil painting, is one of his traditional pieces.

contemporary style. And lucky for art lovers in Jackson Hole, West Lives On has room for both sides of McCarty.

At West Lives On’s traditional gallery, 75 N. Glenwood St., you’ll find McCarty’s classic Western scenes as well as work by other top artists in the Western genre.

At the gallery’s contemporary branch, 55 N. Glenwood St., the more abstract McCarty is on display. In “War Eagle,” for example, an American Indian stares at you, vivid splashes of red and green on his face accenting the intensity of his eyes.

Since opening the contemporary gallery five years ago (the traditional one is 19 years old) owner Terry Ray has noticed that more than a few collectors like a mix of traditional and contemporary Western art. Moreover, painters and sculptors don’t always feel they have to pick a team, so to speak.

“It’s amazing how many people buy out of both galleries,” Ray said. And “four of our artists have started producing work for both sides.”

Besides McCarty they are sculptors Danny Edwards and Karl Lansing, and painter Joe Velazquez.

“I go with the times,” McCarty said. “Contemporary art has moved in, and I’d like to be a part of it, and I feel very comfortable with it.”

Working in a more abstract style is “very direct,” he said. “You can pretty much go in any direction you want.

“But it has to say something. A lot of contemporary art doesn’t say anything. I like to say something with my art.

I usually work with the eyes.”

Ray McCarty paintings are just one of the reasons to visit West Lives On during the Fall Arts Festival. Ray said See WEST LIVES ON on 14B

eight to 10 artists from each of the galleries will supply new work for festivalgoers to check out, and Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey, renowned for her French-dye-on-silk paintings, will have a solo show.

West Lives On will partner with the Wort Hotel for several Fall Arts festivities.

For the festival kickoff, the Sept. 9 Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, West Lives On will serve Wort goodies. At the end of the festival, the Art Brunch Gallery Walk on Sunday, Sept. 18, a Wort chef will be at the gallery making omelets. Bloody marys and mimosa will be served with them.

“It’s been very popular,” Ray said of the Sunday Fall Arts brunch.

The final weekend of the Fall Arts Fes-

tival has proved over the years to be good for business, Ray said. The annual QuickDraw, which is Saturday, Sept. 17, this year, brings lots of people to Town Square — right around the corner from West Lives On — and they tend to hang around downtown after the QuickDraw auction.

And, Ray said, on that final weekend there are collectors perusing the galleries looking for more great art to buy.

Perhaps some of them have put in bids at the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Western Visions Show and Sale — Sept.

16 this year — but didn’t get the piece they wanted. Or they’ve already done some buying but still have spending money ”A lot of people have a budget” for the Fall Arts festival, Ray said. “At the end they know what’s left in their budget.”

Jackson artist Bland Hoke’s latest installation is Pond Flute in the R Park pond. One can speak into the tubes and be heard by friends on the receiving end on the other side.

ART FOR

f you create it, more inspiration will come.

In Jackson Hole new and existing public art projects are proving to be a motivating factor in how residents and visitors connect to this picture postcard of a place on the outskirts of two national parks.

“Permanently sited artwork will live in the community for a long time,” said Bland Hoke, artist-in-residence for Jackson Hole Public Art, “and will inevitably create a sense of place.

“One of the best examples of this is how the antler arches define the heart of Jackson,” said Hoke, himself a prolific designer of many public works of art in Jackson. “We would be Anytown, USA, without these iconic features.”

Over the past year Jackson Hole Public Art has been experimenting in the art of possibility for public space on several fronts, expanding upon more than 20 works in the current civic collection.

Last fall dozens of elk-antler-inspired trash receptacles, benches and tree grates were placed throughout the downtown area, and an installation dubbed “Willow Grove” began to light up the five-way intersection on Broadway.

The creation of the antler aesthetic trash cans were part of Jackson Hole Public Art’s Community Street Furniture project.

“It’s a great example of using public art to enhance the public right of way, make it more interesting and add some local character,” said Carrie Geraci, director of Jackson Hole Public Art. “Because the trash cans, benches and grates are elk-antler-inspired there is an ‘only in Jackson Hole’ character to them; they all fit together.”

Willow Grove is another example of pubic art adding to the character of Jackson in a creative way. Designed by John Fleming and installed last October, Willow Grove is a cluster of 36 steel “ trees”

RYAN JONES/JACKSON HOLE DAILY

Fabricator Jeff Wester positions a steel pipe while installing John Fleming’s Willow Grove.

The steel “trees” transformed the five-way intersection into an “art-endowed gateway into downtown Jackson,” said Carrie Geraci, director of Jackson Hole Public Art.

topped with small lights that change color with the seasons.

“Willow Grove transforms the fiveway into an intentional, art-endowed gateway into downtown Jackson,” Geraci said. “It encourages passers-by to slow down and notice their surroundings.”

Thinking big Another major project that encourages people to stop and take note of where they are is the mammoth bronze sculpture of a wild bronco and its rider that now greets travelers flying in and out of Jackson Hole Airport.

Designed by Maryland sculptor Bart Walter, Battle of Wills stands within the newly designed roundabout entrance to the airport, framed by the majestic Tetons in the background. Sagebrush, a 4-foot bronze jackrabbit and rock formations surround the iconic symbol of the Cowboy State.

“We worked behind the scenes on this

project for three years,” Geraci said. “We facilitated the whole process, from identification of the artist to installation.”

Although the sculpture was unveiled in June, the official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held in conjunction with the Fall Arts Festival at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14.

“In general a lot of the work we do is behind the scenes,” Geraci said, “and most of it is done in partnership with other Jackson Hole organizations.”

That includes recently helping the Teton Village Association identify its core vision and write its plan for temporary and permanent public art at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

One of Public Art’s biggest partners is the town of Jackson.

“We are always gaining traction working with the town and have had great investment with it as well,” said Geraci.

like the North Cache Project.”

The North Cache Project is what Geraci calls a wildlife viewing platform that will be installed by mid-2017 at the Jackson Hole and Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center, overlooking the National Elk Refuge.

In 2015 the group held a one-day experiment for a public space of creativity on the lawn outside the visitor center.

That gateway location linking downtown Jackson to Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks was transformed with several public art prototypes and other interactive offerings.

The organization hoped its daylong look at the reimagining of the North Cache streetscape could become permanent. Through a generous grant via the National Endowment for the Arts, it will.

The proposed slightly elevated, Americans with Disabilities Act-accessible wildlife viewing platform will include interpretive features and provide a yearround gathering place for watching the play between nature and the environment. The installation will also have a sculptural presence that delineates the gateway into town.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity and will serve as a high level of visibility for an alternative use of a public space,” said Geraci.

Given that part of Public Art’s mission is the “integration of art into any environment,” it came as no surprise this summer when the organization launched a project for the Jackson Hole Land Trust’s FoundSpace at the trust’s R Park in Wilson.

Five local artists collaborated, created and installed artworks in the park during its summer solstice party. Those works included a ring of fire, giant curtains, a pond flute and an “uncommon garden” of images and poetry to create a park filled with temporary, functional art.

Another continuing initiative is the Mobile Design Studio. The studio on wheels supports the artistic community by providing a platform to host temporary displays as well as solicit public in-

put on creative ideas.

This year the trailer found its way to a number of community events, including the People’s Market, where it hosted three “Tiny Art Shows” of original work by some of Jackson’s artists.

During the Fall Arts Festival the design studio will have a starring role on PARK(ing) Day, Friday, Sept. 16, a grassroots event that happens annually across the world on the same Friday in September.

Geraci said the idea is to repurpose up to 10 parking spaces during one day, converting them into art and park installations that offer alternative use of space.

“We will return the parking spaces to their original state by end of day,” said Geraci. “PARK(ing) Day exhibits contain no ulterior motives — no selling of items, no promoting a certain business, no serving food — but, rather, they are a peaceful art form that can provide an alternative place to sit, such as a hammock or bench, or live music or various forms of art.

“This is a great, creative place-making exercise … just as powerful as a farmers market, just to demonstrate, ‘Hey! Here’s a vibrant, community-minded, alternative use of this street,’” Geraci said.

Paying it forward In July, Jackson Hole Public Art released “POP: Places of Possibility Public Art and Placemaking Toolkit for Rural Communities,” a free, 37-page guide to creating a successful public art program in a small town.

“Over the past five years we have learned how to navigate both public and private art commissions and integrate visiting artists into our own community’s character,” Geraci said in a press release. “With so many lessons under our belt, we want to share our hardwon wisdom with other communities of similar size and setting.”

The toolkit can be downloaded at JHPublicArt.org.

The future of public art in Jackson seems bright.

“In terms of growth, I do think Jackson is seeing more public art,” said Hoke, “whether this is private artworks placed in public settings or programs developed by institutions to incorporate art in public places.”

Artists come from as near as Montana and Colorado and as far as Missouri, Texas and New York, all sharing the commonality of finding inspiration from the ideas of the American West.

rom meticulously handcrafted furniture to fashion that blurs the line of art, the more than 130 artists heading to the Snow King Sports and Events Center for the 24th annual Western Design Conference are bringing their take on every facet of Western-inspired, functional and museum-quality creations.

One-of-a-kind pieces of furniture, fashion, jewelry, and home and lifestyle accessories will be displayed for patrons to enjoy from Thursday, Sept. 8, through Sunday, Sept. 11. They will be judged by industry experts who will decide on honors such as Best in Show and Best Artist in a variety of categories. More than $19,000 in cash up for grabs.

Executive Director Allison Merritt said that, like every year, she is looking forward to seeing the artists, enjoying their crafts in person and continuing to build friendships with newcomers to the conference and seasoned veterans.

“The excitement they bring with them regarding their new work and the relationships they form with other artists and exhibitors at the Western Design Conference is always so invigorating and special,” she said.

The four-day event begins with an Opening Preview Party, live auction, Runway Fashion Show and shopping on Retail Row from 6 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8.

Twelve honorees from the 2015 Western Design Conference are bringing items to be auctioned in the fast-paced Winners’ Circle Art Auction. If you can’t make the

“Our Opening Preview Party just gets better and better,” Merritt said. “It is an incredible celebration for artists-exhibitors and public alike. “Our fashion show is always innovative and entertaining, showcasing the most creative custom designs, uniquely inspired by the West. “ From Friday through Sunday the center will be buzzing with guests perusing artisans’ work, judges taking in the talent and shoppers exploring during the Exhibit and Sale from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Unlike years past, the juried Artist Awards will be presented on Friday at 2 p.m. during the first full day of the exhibit and sale.

“These awards are a huge national

honor for the artists and are supported by previous award-winning artists’ auction donations and the generosity of our sponsors,” Merritt said.

The Western Design Conference has been in Jackson for the past decade. It began nearly 25 years ago in Cody with the goal of showcasing American craftsmen traditions. Now the event has grown to one of the most celebrated of its kind.

“Western art and fashion influences and is influenced by the current art and fashion of the times, but over the 10 years the Western Design Conference has been in Jackson Hole the Western influence in art, fashion, interior design and architecture seems to have had a global expansion,” Merritt said. “It is no longer

a home setting with the Designer Show House, a pop-up-style exhibit and home with six rooms created by local interior designers and showcasing juried artists’ pieces. The façade of the house is being designed by Idaho’s B&B Builders.

The idea is to help guests understand how to incorporate one-of-a-kind pieces into the design of their home.

“The six rooms are by well-known designers from California, Montana and Idaho, as well as Wyoming,” Merritt said.

“There is no limit to the enormous effort we all are putting into this year’s event.

The ability to personally meet these designers and artists, see how they incorporate other artists’ functional pieces in their interiors and discuss future projects with them is an opportunity rarely available to the public,” she said.

of Agnes Bourne Studio has created the foyer of the Designer Show House. The room will celebrate art of today in Jackson, filled with objects new and repurposed to create a lively, welcoming space, she said.

Bourne has been an interior designer since the 1970s, working in New York, San Francisco and now Wyoming. She has also been involved with Western Design Conference since its inception as a juror and an original investor.

“I have had a long history and affection for this show,” Bourne said. “When Allison asked if I would like to do [the Designer Show House], I couldn’t say no. There is such a broad expression of art out West.

It is quite broad and I love that it is. It is not kitsch, it is authentic stuff and that authenticity should be applauded.”

Her take on the foyer design is looking at art inspired by Jackson, titled “Flying West for Summer.” Her idea came from the idea of landing at Jackson Hole Airport in Grand Teton National Park with the sweeping landscape, mountains and open skies out the window. The walls will feature 9-by-16-foot photographs of clouds, and the floor will have a large cowhide rug. The space will be dotted with furniture and objects that she described as “playful.”

Bourne is working with 10 local artists on the interior design, including furniture designer and sculptor Ben Roth and photographer Ed Riddell.

“My approach to interiors is that art and design are linked together and when used skillfully produce the most interesting interior stores,” she said.

The five other rooms in the house will tackle other genres. One room will have a historic theme.

“It will be a lovely variety of what is possible with Western design,” Bourne said.

But what you may not see unless you walk inside is the art that also adorns the walls of the gallery and shop.

The jewelry is beautiful, but there’s something about being surrounded by art of such a wide mixture of mediums: oil paintings, turquoise-laden bison skulls and bronze broncos.

Ayesha Mayadas will hold a trunk show Sept. 13 and 14 showcasing her jewelry. But it’s no ordinary jewelry.

Mayadas considers it art jewelry or studio jewelry. It’s simple and clean and made of hammered metals.

“The style is as individual as the artist is,” Mayadas said.

Her pieces pay special attention to line. The character and direction of a line has the power to communicate emotions and states of mind, Mayadas said on her website. The quality of a line is equal to an artist’s signature.

“The human body is a series of lines, and I try to create that in my jewelry,” Mayadas said. “It’s not about being dareish or loud, but it becomes a part of that person. A lot of times my work is See NATIVE on 12C

Rockwell in good company at Heather James Heather James Fine Art 172 Center St. 307-200-6090 HeatherJames.com

By Richard Anderson Heather James Fine Art, known for its collection of international masterpieces from the impressionist to the contemporary era, presents for the 2016 Fall Arts Festival work by three 20th-century geniuses: Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and — Norman Rockwell.

Some might stumble over including that last name among the first two. Picasso, after all, was the Miles Davis of modern art, pioneering new paths in multiple media that artists still tread today; and Calder was in a way America’s Picasso, creating simple sculptures that resemble the Spaniard’s Zen-like line drawings, bright Mediterranean-colored gouaches and lithographs, and monumental mobiles that set Pablo’s cubist visions into motion.

But Rockwell?

“He lived at kind of the same time” as Calder and Picasso, said Colleen FitzGerald, manager of Heather James, “the first half of the 20th century — the early 1900s to the mid 1900s.”

Other than that all he really has in common with the other two is that he was a fantastic artist.

“He was such a master of

Some of Alexander Calder’s paint-on-paper pieces can be seen at Heather James Fine Art. Work by Rockwell, Picasso and Calder will hang through the end of September.

realism and the human form,” FitzGerald said.

The Picasso-Calder pairing originated at Heather James’ Palm Desert, California, gallery last winter. It came to Jackson because it has had a

lot of success selling Calders, FitzGerald said.

“They look great in groups, so they often sell in multiples.”

Hanging on the gallery walls are about 10 prints and paintings — compositions of

pyramids and spirals, circles and cylinders, as well as some circus scenes and floral arrangements.

There’s also a pull toy made out of Ballantine beer cans and wire that he made for a friend’s

son.

“He often made things for friends,” FitzGerald said, and also often worked with whatever base materials he had at his disposal.

Heather James also has a small Calder oil, which FitzGerald said are quite rare.

“And he did jewelry, too,” she said: bracelets and brooches that were instantly recognizable as the work of Calder.

The Picasso portion of the collection includes a few works on paper, some prints and some ceramics, which he discovered and dedicated himself to later in life.

“In the 1940s, in the south of France in the summer, he went to an annual pottery exhibition, and it blew him away,” FitzGerald said.

He was especially impressed by the work of the Madoura Gallery, and its owners welcomed him into their workshop. In exchange the workshop was allowed to produce limited editions of his models and sell them.

Lithe and whimsical, they have an ancient and a modern feel to them, often decorated with owls or women’s faces.

“He was influenced by Mediterranean colors and the air down there,” FitzGerald said. “It was a whole different scene for him.”

not always sought after by big jewelry people.”

Instead she thinks her pieces are more go-to or staple pieces.

Mayadas wasn’t always a jeweler. She had a 13-year career as a textile engineer, but decided to pursue her passion for metalwork in 1997. Having a background as an engineer, as opposed to an artist, turns out to have been an advantage in her work.

“I didn’t even realize that it would be an advantage — I wasn’t focused on design and color,” Mayadas said. “As a result when I work with metals, the engineering thing is somewhere in the subconscious but it always has a way of playing in there.”

Unlike most metal pieces that are cast, Mayadas prefers the old fashioned way of forging metal. Humans have some sort of primitive urge to

But of all the work laid in for the Fall Arts Festival, it may be the Rockwell that are most unusual. The academically trained artist became famous and beloved for his prolific illustrating work, especially his covers for the Saturday Evening Post. He could in a single image tell an entire story, as in the Post cover “Santa on the Train.”

Heather James has a number of sketches, studies and completed oils that offer a rare glimpse (outside of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, home of the Norman Rockwell Museum) to see original cover paintings and drawings up close.

“He was so talented as an illustrator,” FitzGerald said. “The attention to details, the faces are amazing.”

One work shows three faces, representing three different professions. As usual it is expertly rendered and minutely detailed — but, FitzGerald said, it was only an oil sketch or a study.

And the gallery also will still display the usual assortment of originals and prints by many famous names in art — Maxfield Parrish, Andy Warhol, Joan Miro, William Merritt Chase and many others — a small museum’s worth of art that FitzGerald and company gladly and proudly show off to any and all who walk through their doors. hammer metal, she said, and because of that, the hammer is her favorite tool in her studio.

“For me the hands-on component you must have,” Mayadas said. “The message goes from the metal to the hand to the brain.”

Besides Mayadas’ trunk show, jewelers Annie Band, Elena Kriegner and Calvin Begay will host shows throughout the festival. Jackson’s Valerie Seaberg will host an artist weaving in the gallery, demonstrating her horsehair weaving techniques. Jim Wilson, Marie Jenkins, Richard Lloyd Biddinger and Richard Miles will hold artist painting demonstrations.

Ruth Nordstrom will paint in the gallery during Palates and Palettes on Thursday, Sept. 8, Aaron Yurt will paint his wildlife paintings during the Wednesday, Sept. 14, Art Walk, and Biddinger will participate in the Saturday, Sept. 17, QuickDraw Show and Sale on Town Square.

Turpin turns heads at ‘Grand Slam Week’ Turpin Gallery 25 S. Cache Street (307) 733-7530 TurpinGallery.myshopify.com

By Dina Mishev

T

urpin Gallery is bringing something new to the Fall Arts Festival this year.

Week one will be Grand Sculpture Week. The second week will be Grand Slam Week. It’s Grand Slam Week that is a first for the annual art fest.

During Grand Slam Week, Turpin Gallery will present taxidermied heads of the wild sheep of North America: desert bighorn, Rocky Mountain bighorn, stone and dall sheep.

“These are all trophy record Boone and Crockett heads,” gallery owner and artist Ronnie Turpin says. “They are just unbelievable.”

Turpin says one of the heads is the only ram to have held the world record for over 60 years.

Along with exhibiting the Boone and Crockett heads, the gallery has paintings of wild sheep by artist Derek C. Wicks.

Even though it is the gallery’s second-week exhibit that is totally unique for the Fall Arts Festival, its first week events are special too. During Grand Sculpture Week the gallery has four major precast sculptures on exhibit.

Interested collectors will be able to reserve the finished sculptures.

“All of these precasts are my pieces,” Turpin says. “It was definitely my plan to have them all at this stage so they could be exhibited together in the gallery during the festival.”

The four pieces include Grizzly Monarch, World Record Wrangell Ram, Trophies Over the Water Hole and Little Foxes Spoil the Vine.

Derek Wicks’ work will be on display at Turpin Gallery during Fall Arts Festival, as will sculpture by gallery owner Ronnie Turpin.

The Wrangell ram sculpture, of a shoulder mount of a ram, is life-size.

Turpin says he will cast only seven of each piece.

Turpin is also exhibiting a new finished piece in the gallery. This 53-by-14by-12-inch sculpture is of a pack train. A man leads two horses, one of which is packed with a Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Anyone can see the sheep’s size is impressive, but you would have to be an avid hunter and tracker of hunting records to know that this sculpted

sheep is modeled on the world record sheep of that species (or you can ask Turpin about it).

While it will be Turpin exhibiting and talking about his in-progress sculptures, the gallery also will host a painter-in-residence at the gallery. Charles Gause has made his career painting Alaskan landscapes. He moved to that state in 1975 and immediately fell in love with the uniqueness and variety of scenery. Turpin has convinced Gause to paint Jackson Hole landscapes for the

first time.

“Before he’d paint Denali or Bristol Bay,” Turpin says. “The pieces he’s doing now are the Tetons, Mount Moran, Sleeping Indian.

“His style is so different and so powerful that it will bring a different look to paintings of the Jackson Hole landscape,” Turpin says. “The paintings will be of this valley’s iconic places, but done in Charles’ unique style.”

Gause will paint in the gallery during the first week of the festival.

Rare focuses on Armstrong photos

By Mark Huffman

F

or the 2016 Fall Arts Festival, Rare Gallery will feature the work of photographer Rick Armstrong — work that often focuses attention on and contrasts visions of Jackson Hole’s past and present.

Armstrong and his wife, Hollee, have operated Rare Gallery since 2006, most of that time at its current location on the second floor across from the southeast corner of Town Square.

Hollee Armstrong said her husband’s work is about Jackson, what it was and how it’s evolving.

“He is taking a look at the history and the present of Jackson Hole, shining a light on things that are disappearing,” she said. “As the character of Jackson Hole changes and grows, it’s important to honor and preserve it.”

Rick Armstrong’s work is sometimes the traditional big-picture view of the natural wonders of Jackson, including the Tetons.

But he’ll also combine mediums, mix up approaches and combine images to make a point.

The images are sometimes found, sometimes arranged, but always striking.

One piece is a big color reproduction of a photo of the bucking bronco and cowboy sign that’s in

Rare Gallery highlights the work of owner-photographer Rick Armstrong. This is “Hand on the Wheel.”

front of the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar. But over the photo the piece includes a real neon tracing of the original sign, making the piece a picture of a sign that then incorporates an aspect of that sign.

“He’s not afraid to push a different style,” Hollee Armstrong said.

“He is able to capture his visions through his lens. It’s very special, not what’s expected.”

Another forceful combination of images — with the predominant one being a bison — is titled “Cloudwalker.”

But if Rare is focusing on the

work of one of its owners, there’s no shortage of many other works in a variety of styles. Rare shows the work of more than 40 artists, “a big roster,” Hollee Armstrong said, that makes it an eclectic experience even for those who visit more than once: “This place is

alive and has a different story every time you come in,” she said.

New this year is the work of Utah painter Zachary Proctor, who creates images of ordinary Americans, at jobs and play, working in factories, riding motorcycles. In the process he is “iconizing working-class society,” Armstrong said.

A longtime artist is Shonto Begay, a Navajo shaman who once worked as a climbing ranger in Teton park and who, Armstrong said, “chants as he paints.”

One of his images is what people would expect of a Navajo artist: a desert scene with a woman and a herd of sheep called “Mother With Sheep in Canyon.”

But another shows urban Indians in a city park, most of them enjoying the day, except on one side you can see a cop and some Navajos talking. The work is called “Citation in the Park.”

An artist whose work has been seen over the years in Jackson is Nine Francois, a French photographer living in Austin, Texas, who creates huge portrait-like Hasselblad images of animals, often with odd framing, with the subjects looking off the frame or cut by the edge of the image.

Another is jeweler Pat Flynn, who starts with horseshoe nails — oddly elegant in themselves — which he bends into bracelets and other jewelry and adorns with jewels.

Rare will be among the galleries that will feature food and drink during the traditional Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk on Sept. 9. Armstrong said the festival is “a great time to honor the artists” whose work is shown around town.

Some events might feel it necessary to do something special for such an anniversary, but not the art auction. That’s because every year it gets plenty of attention for the records it sets: Eighteen of last year’s 304 lots established new highs.

This year’s auction, set for Friday, Sept. 16, and Saturday, Sept. 17, will sell 380 lots over two sessions. Roxanne Hofmann, art auction partner and partner at Trailside Galleries, which presents the event with Gerald Peters Gallery, said this year will be the auction’s strongest to date, with a record number of lots.

Part of what has helped the auction continue to grow, both in number of lots sold and in the esteem of collectors, is its inclusivity. The auction doesn’t sell the work of deceased artists only but living artists as well.

For the second year Friday’s session will highlight high-quality pieces at lower prices than the Saturday session. The majority of lots in the first session fall in the $5,000 to $10,000 range, with a selection of pieces both lower and higher.

“We wanted to be able to offer to the emerging collector a grouping of artwork that is highly curated,” Hofmann said.

Many of the same artists — Ken Carlson, Bob Kuhn, Carl Rungius, Olaf Wieghorst, Tucker Smith, Conrad Schwiering — are in both sessions, but session one work is available at lower prices.

“He Rode Away, Following a Dim Trail Among the Sage” is a 1909 oil on canvas by N.C. Wyeth.

An 8-by-10-inch oil on canvas, “Drilling for Turquoise,”

by Taos School painter Eanger Irving Couse (estimated between $30,000 and $50,000) will be offered in session two, while an oil-on-board miniature titled “Fall in Taos”

by Scott Christensen is expected bring $1,500 to $2,500.

“We’ve heard from beginning collectors they appreciate the opportunity this session provides,” Hofmann said.

Collectors from around the world participate in the main Saturday session. The auction offers in-person and remote bidding. Last year bids came from Switzerland, Singapore and South America.

The majority of bidders participate in person, though.

ALE X KATZ

WHAT’S YOUR N A M E?

“We’ve very much become a destination sale,” Hofmann said. “Collectors like to come and visit Jackson Hole, especially during the Fall Arts Festival. The Center for the Arts is packed.

“We always try to seek out paintings and sculpture that are fresh,” she said. “We’ve very excited this year because we’re offering some paintings out of collections that have never been on the auction block before.”

Lot 262, the N.C. Wyeth painting “He Rode Away, Following a Dim Trail Among the Sage,” was purchased directly from the artist in 1909. The oil on canvas is estimated to sell for between $500,000 and $700,000.

“It’s been in the same family since it was purchased,” Hofmann said.

Then there are the auction’s nine Friedrich Wilhelm Kuhnert paintings. Kuhnert, a German artist alive from 1865 to 1926, was a highly acclaimed wildlife artist who painted more than 5,500 pieces.

“Today less than 1,000 exist,” Hofmann says. “Most were destroyed in World War II. The ones we have are highly sought after.”

The subjects of the Kuhnert paintings being sold at the Jackson Hole Art Auction range from lions and tigers to antelope and water buffalo. Two of the paintings, “Brullende Lowen” and “Kafferbuffel am Tumpel,” are estimated to sell for $200,000 to $300,000. The other pieces have estimated sale prices from $8,000 to $50,000.

Many works by living artists are included in the auction, and there’s even a special event for living artists called the Top Tier Competition. Started last year, the competition invites nine artists with auction records to paint pieces just for the auction. Three judges pick a winner, who gets a $10,000 prize. All nine pieces are then sold in the auction’s Saturday session.

This year’s participants are William Acheff, Ken Carlson, Michael Coleman, Jenness Cortez, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Z.S. Liang, Bonnie Marris, Mian Situ and Tucker Smith.

This year’s judges are Dr. Mindy Besaw, curator of the Crystal Bridges of American Art; Laura Fry, curator of art at the Gilcrease Museum; and James Nottage, vice president and chief curatorial officer at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. Since its founding the Jackson Hole Art Auction has racked up $70.8 million in sales. Last year’s sales totaled $6.6 million. The auction’s record sales year was 2014, when it sold art worth $11.3 million. The highest-selling piece was Frederic Remington’s 1893 canvas “He Lay Where He Had Been Jerked, Still As A Log,” which went for a hammer price of $1.583 million at the 2011 auction.

Fritz Scholder’s “Dream Dancer,” an acrylic on canvas, is showing at Altamira Fine Art.

Altamira excited about ‘impressive’ Scholder exhibit Altamira Fine Art 172 Center St. No. 100 307-739-4700 AltamiraArt.com

By Richard Anderson

F

or hundreds of years after Anglo-Europeans made contact with the indigenous tribes of the Americas, their depictions of the “Indians” mostly upheld their prejudices and misperceptions of an exotic, primitive people.

Their ways of life were Edenic or savage. Their customs and cultures were new and weird but also fascinating. Painters and sculptors depicted wind-chiseled visages caught in stoic peace, stuck in time even as it disappeared.

But Native Americans didn’t disappear. Their customs persisted and their ways survived, despite extreme and often outright criminal attempts to “assimilate” them. In America native culture hung on at two ends of a spectrum: the anthropological and racist.

Until, that is, Fritz Scholder hit the scene.

Altamira Fine Art will feature more than a dozen works by Scholder (1937-2005), including large oils from his most famous Indian series as well sketches, lithographs and more from his world travels.

“We’ve put together a pretty impressive show,” Altamira Director Mark Tarrant said.

Born in 1937 in Breckenridge, Minnesota, Scholder, a one-quarter Luseano Indian, as a teen won a spot in a University of Kansas art camp and began attracting attention from prominent Native American painters. In his 20s, while painting and studying in California, he adopted abstract expressionism as his mode, painting colorful landscapes with thick layers of paint.

Then, in 1964, he went to Santa Fe to teach.

“He got inspired by the land and the people,” said John Lukavic, who curated the Denver Art Museum’s exhibition “Super Indian: Fritz Scholder 1967-80,” and contributed to the book the same title. “He got into a little figurative work.”

Scholder had vowed he would never paint an Indian, Lukavic said. He had been turned off by the depictions of George Catlin, Frederic Remington and other non-

Scholder’s “Mystery Woman with White Horse” is also hanging at Altamira during the Fall Arts Festival.

Indian romantics. But in 1967 he broke his rule.

“Bringing his love of paint, his love of composition, the loose brushwork of his abstract expressionist style,” Lukavic said, he created “Indian No. 1.” “That’s what started it off.”

For more than a decade Scholder painted hundreds of American Indian canvases, usually employing a palette of bright oils that he laid on thick. Tarrant referred to him as “action” painter, in the style of Pollack and other abstract expressionists of the 1960s and ’70s, and indeed Scholder often allowed his paint to drip and run and pile up on often enormous canvases.

Many of his Indian paintings were not what you would call pretty. While Scholder denied being political, his work reflected the often ugly struggle Native Americans waged in 20th-century Anglo society, as in “Dark Indian,” “Insane Indian,” “Monster Indian,” “Indian Dy-

ing in Nebraska” and “Massacre in America: Wounded Knee.” But they also were powerfully expressive and boldly graphic and not without a sense of humor. The painting “Super Indian,” for example, shows a man dressed in ceremonial garb holding an ice cream cone.

In another canvas, a man with a slightly twisted leer sits at a bar drinks a can of Coors beer.

“It seems anachronistic,” Lukavic said, but in fact that was the reality Scholder witnessed and captured. “People didn’t recognize that Native Americans are still with us today. By putting Native Americans in a contemporary context, he was commenting that Native Americans are part of contemporary society.”

Scholder became quite famous in his time and traveled extensively in Europe and even to Egypt, where he painted Egyptian motifs.

By 1980 he thought he had pushed the Indian thing as far as he could and changed his focus, painting a series of vampire paintings and a series he called “Monster Love.” The Altamira show includes a canvas titled “Alone No. 2,” which might be a Native figure, except it has horns and a cloven foot. But then there’s also a vase of flowers, a faceless businessman playing cards, and a painting done almost all in black of the Empire State Building, with orange highlights and thick globs of paint outlining the structure.

“Sometimes he just painted things because he enjoyed painting them,” Tarrant said.

Scholder’s work also includes prints and even sculptures, two of which will be in the Altamira exhibition.

“It will be a show worth seeing,” Tarrant said.

The show opens Sept. 5 and runs through Sept. 18, with a reception set for 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Also during Fall Arts Festival, Idaho’s Mary Roberson will be on hand for Palates and Palettes, and local and regional artist such as Todd Kosharek, September Vhay, Travis Walker, Jared Sanders and Greg Woodard will visit to conduct demos and meet guests.

ver the past year the Center for the Arts has focused on creating a more vibrant campus. So much so that Carrie Richer was given the title of creative initiatives coordinator.

“We want to utilize all the awesome things that are already happening at the center and continue to make it really animated, whimsical and stimulating for visitors,” Richer said.

“We hope to keep it ever-changing and surprise people as they come in, whether sucking them in to keep exploring or involving them more in the exhibits,” she said.

Richer spends her days coordinating the four programming initiatives inside — and outside — the center’s doors.

Center Presents offers live music, theater and spoken word performances.

Campus Exhibitions showcase youth art and sculptures, and Co-Presents offers performances in collaboration with groups such as Thin Air Shakespeare.

The newest program, still in its infancy, will allow guest curators to develop opportunities with the 19 nonprofits housed in the center, as well as other artists and programs throughout the area.

“This is sort of an evolving initiative,” Richer said, “but our intention is to have someone come in and offer expertise and interdisciplinary opportunities where we can really pull from all of the residents and awesome things we have in Jackson, creating something that is the sum of all its parts.”

As part of these plans, the center will participate in the Fall Arts Festival’s Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk. From 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, the center will host a reception for Kathryn Mapes Turner’s new show, “What The Sky Holds” and Walt Gerald’s “Creatures of the Caldera.”

An artist, illustrator and graphic designer, Gerald’s show is in collaboration with JH Discovery Preschool featuring prints inspired by preschooler’s imaginative creations.

“The kids drew these creatures and Walt is doing a print of his own design based on each kids’ creature,” Richer said.

“It should be fantastic and a lot of fun.”

Visitors can see Gerald’s show in the Glenwood Lobby and Conference Room.

Turner will display six 53-by-53-inch paintings that will lead viewers down the hall of the Theater Gallery, serving as windows looking out to the Wyoming skies.

Turner grew up on the historic Triangle X Ranch, which this year is celebrating 90 years as a working dude ranch.

She is known for depicting the world she lives in — from quiet Western landscapes to painterly horses — with watercolors and oil paints.

“I believe the valley of Jackson Hole evokes expression,” she said in her artist’s statement.

Turner’s work has been displayed in the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the C.M. Russell Museum in Montana and the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wisconsin. She is partners with fellow artists Bill Sawczuk and Jennifer L. Hoffman in the North Cache Street gallery Trio Fine Art (see page D6).

“Kathryn’s show is pretty different from what she has done before,” Richer said, “so it will be exciting to see it as part of the Theater Gallery. She will also have a show at Trio, but the center’s show will be a bit more of a contemporary and abstract representation of her style.”

Turner was one of eight artists out of nearly 50 applicants to be chosen last October to be a part of the center’s 2016 artist showcases. In October the center will put out another call for intermountain region artists to submit their work for 2017.

“A few of the artists we have had came from nearby places like Denver and Ogden,” Marketing Director Anne Bradley said, “but they brought in a new perspective. It was really interesting to see what they had to say. We crave that in Jackson. To offer that sort of outreach to artists and the public is something really cool we can facilitate.”

Meet Turner The Center for the Arts will host Jackson Hole native Kathryn Mapes Turner with a show and two events, all in the Theater Gallery: ‘What The Sky Holds,’ through Sept. 20 Artist’s talk noon Thursday, Sept. 8, Reception 5-6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9

Trio painters explore home landscape

ildlife, towering mountains and erupting thermal features could be a list of what you’ll see when exploring the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.

It’s also what you’ll see hanging on the walls of Trio Fine Art Gallery during its Fall Arts Festival show “In Our Valley,” which will be toasted with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14.

Throughout the year the three Jackson Hole residents who own the gallery, Jennifer L. Hoffman, Bill Sawczuk and Kathryn Mapes Turner, host solo exhibitions showcasing the work they create in the valley. During the Fall Arts Festival they offer a group show and an intimate look at the landscape they call home.

“The truth is, we spend all year long studying and being inspired by the Jackson landscape and the true character of Jackson,” Turner said. “We feel we have a special opportunity and a special offering in creating art that is really, truly inspired by creating authentic work.

“What makes Jackson special is we have this continuous wild space,” she said.

“We have a deep love and passion for the Greater Yellowstone and all the critters that live in it. This show is going to be a celebration of that.”

All three artists interpret the landscape differently, but collectively their work feels cohesive, Turner said. All are representational artists with impressionistic styles.

“But within that stylistic genre there are some differences, and that’s really fun to come to the gallery and experience,” Turner said.

Hoffman is the only artist in the gallery who works in pastels. Turner calls her award-winning pastel work “exceptional.”

Hoffman uses a muted palette and a delicate touch. She has an eye for finding and capturing light in pastels, oils and drawings on paper.

“Transition,” a 16-by-20-inch pastel on mounted paper, is by Jennifer L. Hoffman, one of three Jackson Hole artists who own Trio Fine Art Gallery. Hoffman and gallery co-owners Kathryn Mapes Turner and Bill Sawczuk will celebrate their love of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, their home, with a Fall Arts Festival show called “In Our Valley.”

“Bill has a bit more sense of boldness to his work,” Turner said.

Sawczuk is a trained architect and is known for capturing historic ranches and buildings. He works in oils but plays with the versatility of them, varying the thickness of the paint.

“There’s a great deal to experience when looking at his work,” Turner said.

“His pieces are masterful and really strong because of his draftsmanship skills.”

Turner works in watercolors and oils.

The Jackson Hole native is exploring more abstraction in her interpretive paintings.

“It’s a real delight to explore these compositions using new colors and forms and shapes, because the Tetons have been done so many times,” she said. “I really love that about being at Trio. I have full artistic license to really take risks and explore new things all the time. I think that is what keeps my work fresh and excit-

ing.”

It’s what makes Trio different from the other galleries in town. It can be seen in the work that hangs on the walls year round, including during the Fall Arts Festival, Turner said.

“When you have your own gallery you are really beholden to no one other than your own inner voice and truth,” she said.

“There’s an authenticity there that isn’t necessarily in a commercial gallery.”

hen you walk into Tad Anderson’s show at the Art Association gallery, you may be taken aback.

It won’t be the neat gallery show you’re used to but, rather, a kind of disorganized chaos during the opening reception on Friday, Sept. 9, during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk.

There are 92 pastel paintings, most on sheets of ripped paper, cardboard, the backs of cereal boxes or whatever Anderson could find to draw on.

Anderson had never taken an art class, except for a few required courses in high school, but with his job at the University of Wyoming he’s able to take classes for free.

Also on display will be four lithographs with subject matter that is up for debate. Only seven framed works of art will be featured out of more than a 100 pieces.

“It’s like a walk through a journal,” said Mark Nowlin, the interim executive director of the Art Association and a close friend of the Anderson family.

The works span many years, almost a lifetime for Anderson.

He grew up in Thermopolis and now lives in Laramie, but he doesn’t always stay there.

He has walked from Lander to Rawlins, has spent hours drawing the back alleys of Wyoming and has been known to go for a walk in New Mexico for weeks. It wasn’t just gone for the weekend, Nowlin said.

“The part that really striked me about him is he would sometimes do things that were pretty irrational,” Nowlin said.

But then there’s the fact that Anderson has schizophrenia.

He records the emotional pieces and parts of his trips, Nowlin said, and it’s a complete interior journey.

“He was driven to record what was going on in his head and through his visual medium,” Nowlin said.

Most of his subject matter is of Wyoming, with a few other places from his travels joining the mix. Pastel landscapes of the West are striking and dramatic. The pieces are vibrant, but there’s nothing dainty about them, Nowlin said.

“Only in Wyoming do we

know what beauty looks like when it’s about to kill you,” Nowlin said.

Anderson’s other passion is climbing, one that is prevalent in his paintings.

“It’s very up close and personal, like the intensity of climbing,” Nowlin said.

The show is something that has to be seen in person; the sheer amount of art in the gallery is astonishing. Nowlin said Anderson’s parents must have more than 1,000 more pieces at their house.

“The earmark of Anderson’s

work is that there is no earmark,” a statement from the Art Association reads, “save each composition is sublimely expressionistic and thoroughly confident — Anderson’s works vary so widely they look to have been done by dozens of individual artists.”

A reception for “Tad Anderson: A Journey” will run 5 to 8 p.m. in the Art Association gallery. Anderson will join to talk with attendees about his exhibition.

The Art Association will also host a few visiting artist work-

shops throughout the Fall Arts Festival, with Michael Calles leading a class about drawing and painting animals, and LeeAnn Brook teaching an inspired paintin course. There is a cost.

You can register through the Art Association.

The locals-only art fair Takin’ it to the Streets, presented by the Art Association, will take place on Sunday, Sept. 11, on Town Square. More than 40 regional artists will set up to show and sell their wares.

Festivities at the Art Association will conclude with the Art Brunch Gallery Walk on Sunday, Sept. 18. The final event will give people a chance to visit with gallery representatives and some of the artists behind the works.

Artists follow their hearts, build their following

By Teresa Griswold

T

hree Jackson Hole artists lend their fine art images and designs to familiar, functional objects and gain recognition for their artwork and talent.

Printmaker and graphic artist Walter Gerald juggles a family, a full-time job, and a one-man creative studio, Wild Iris Press, creating prints and posters for clients while pursuing a handson creative career.

Nicole Gaitan, a Jackson Hole native who returned home after a 10-year stint in California, is working at making art and making it meaningful. She was named Best Emerging Artist by her community. Her work — acrylic paintings — can be found on merchandise around town and online, while her fine art is shown in galleries across four states.

The Art Association’s Artist of the Year for 2016, Emily Boespflug, continues to build her reputation as a rising artist.

Now she is on the cusp of leaving her day job to devote more time to her art.

As the art of Gerald, Gaitan and Boespflug takes off, their stories demonstrate how individual the process is of making art and making it one’s own.

Walter Gerald A finalist for the Art Association’s Artist of the Year designation, Gerald creates posters that are instantly recognizable in Jackson. A case in point is the tomato-bearing, suit-wearing, lettuce head that graces the poster for the recently opened greenhouse Vertical Harvest.

Gerald began his career in the advertising industry, but he wanted to be more hands-on in the creative process and was lured in the direction of printmaking by his love of music.

“The whole reason I got into art was because I was collecting concert posters,” he said.

He wanted to make his own posters.

Now he produces work for Stio, Mountain Khakis, the National Museum of Wildlife Art and Vertical Harvest, among others. Last September he launched his screen-printing business, Wild Iris Press, at the Takin’ It To the Streets art fair (see page A5).

By day Gerald is Teton County Library’s full-time graphic artist. After hours he does freelance design and print work in his studio space at Teton Artlab. He uses a high-tech digital method, creating computer-generated art and screen-printing, putting a twist on the traditional low-tech style of using stencils.

“The Artlab is a great place to develop my artistic sensibilities,” Gerald said. “It’s an affordable artist space for local artists, and there’s a rotating artist program for artists all over the world. There’s always the opportunity to learn new things

from different people.”

Recently Gerald has been collaborating with 4- and 5-yearolds from his daughter’s preschool. The kids drew imaginary creatures and monsters that have special powers, and Gerald is turning them into refined designs.

His children are often part of his process.

“It’s a family affair,” he said. “A lot of times my daughters are in the studio with me while I work.”

The collaboration with the preschoolers, “Creatures of the Caldera,” will open with a reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, at the Center for the Arts during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk.

Gerald will also be part of Takin’ it to the Streets, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11. His first solo show as a printmaker is set for the second half of October at the Rose.

Nicole Gaitan Jackson native Nicole Gaitan has been inspired by her environment since she was very young.

“As any little girl, I absolutely loved horses, and all animals, for that matter,” she said. “I drew horse after horse after horse until I got it just right.”

Her environment and being surrounded by the beauty and stillness of nature inspires her the most.

“Sometimes it’s just simple things I see on a day-to-day basis, whether it’s color, a pattern in the snow or an idea I come up with while taking a walk with my own pet,” she said of her sources for inspiration.

But Gaitan emphasized that she is surrounded by inspiration and influenced by all the beautiful artwork in the creative community of Jackson.

“This place is my heart,” she said.

Gaitan tried to find herself in California, where she went to college, but felt she was not being true to herself. She returned to Jackson Hole a few years ago, and soon after she was voted Best Emerging Artist by Jackson Hole locals.

“It was a complete shock to me because I had no idea I was on anyone’s radar,” she said.

Gaitan knew she wanted to paint and follow her dream, but she wasn’t really sure how to navigate it. Last March she was featured in Western Art Collector magazine. More than making a name for herself, she wants to do something with her art.

“I really feel passionate about using my art for something more than wall decor or personal collections,” she said. “I donate a lot to charities and nonprofits that support animals.”

Inspired by a dear friend she recently lost, Gaitan is on a mission to set up a nonprofit to fund help for animals and wildlife.

so by Boespflug.

Boespflug likes to communicate the underlying emotion of a particular moment in time in figurative and landscape paintings in oil, watercolor and pastel. She looks for ways to find and express beauty in something easily overlooked. She said the subject matter seems endless in Wyoming.

“The Tetons alone are complex enough to be painted every day over a lifetime with a different view represented every time,” she said. “With every changing season our views are equally inspiring.”

Boespflug also feels connected to the diverse landscapes and scenes found off the beaten path. She sees the dry, desolate wind-swept badlands as beautiful and inspiring as the more recognizable mountain peaks.

“I love expressing the juxtaposition found within the Wyoming border in a contiguous series of paintings,” she said.

“Preserving local history, open spaces and ‘the soul’ of Jackson also inspires my art.”

After winning Artist of the Year she is excited and a little anxious “because this is a milestone I shouldn’t let pass me by.”

Boespflug said her ideas are piling up and “it’s time to harness that creativity and run with it rather than continuing to suppress it and working full time. I have been ready to immerse myself in creating art for a long time now, and I need to take the time to make it happen.”

Boespflug has been one of the Jackson Hole Land Trust’s View22 artists this summer. She will be painting in the QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, on Town Square.

She will leave the following day for a plein air competition in Escalante, Utah, where she won the Paint Out and Honorable Mention in 2014 and sold all but one of her paintings in the final show. Needless to say, she has been hooked on plein air ever since.

Boespflug will make the big move toward being a full-time working artist as soon as she feels financially secure to do so.

“I plan to branch out beyond Jackson for gallery representation and to continue participating in plein air events and competitions,” she said. “I am also looking forward to applying to artist residencies to help build a strong body of work.”

Boespflug expects to show her work at Takin’ it to the Streets from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11 on Town Square.

Gerald’s work, like this Vertical Harvest poster, is instantly recognizable.

hey are the four kings of Yellowstone National Park, the animals people travel from around the world to see: bison, elk, wolves and grizzly bears.

“These four are the sought-out giants of the park,” artist Amy Ringholz said.

“If Africa has the big five, these are our big four.”

The animals in the quartet are the subject of Ringholz’s new show, “Four Brothers.”

At the center of the show are four paintings, 48 by 60 inches each, one of each animal. Each stands on its own but they also work as a series, flowing together and telling a story.

Ringholz used ink drawing and white space, which she’s been experimenting with in her work recently, to push the style in a more modern direction.

Along with the main pieces Ringholz is creating an assortment of drawings and watercolors of smaller animals found in Yellowstone like marmots, foxes, coyotes, beavers and picas.

The show is meant to honor the National Park Service and celebrate its centennial this year.

It was Yellowstone that brought Ringholz to Jackson Hole. The Ohio native moved to the valley in 2002 after seeing a job advertisement. The headline read, “Come and work outside Yellowstone National Park.” It went on to tout the moose, buffalo and bears.

“From Ohio that’s all I needed to read,” she said.

Ringholz applied and moved to Wyo-

ming to work as a housekeeper at the R Lazy S Ranch.

When she wasn’t working she painted.

She hung her work outside her shack to dry, and soon guests were buying it.

“I’ve built my life on these animals and the respect and love we feel for them,” she said.

And nowhere else in the world is there the kind of open space, geography and weather for this assortment of animals to exist.

The show is a way for her to celebrate the Park Service and the protection it has given to the wildlife.

“The highlight for everyone is the animals,” Ringholz said. “It’s a cool tribute to the ones that live there.”

In honor of the show’s title, “Four Brothers,” Ringholz will host four events with local businesses during the Fall Arts Festival.

She’s hosting “After Palates,” from 8 to 10 p.m. Sept. 9 with Local. The Palates and Palettes after-party will feature music, food and drinks in the courtyard by the gallery.

From 5 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 14 she will host an opening for “Four Brothers.” Jessie Lestitian, a banjo player, will perform during the opening, which will feature Highwater vodka drinks.

After the Saturday, Sept. 17, QuickDraw, in which she will participate, Ringholz will host a barbecue in the courtyard by her gallery. Starting at 1 p.m. Bo-B-Q will provide the food.

Then, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18, during the Art Brunch Gallery Walk, Snake River Roasters will serve coffee drinks at the gallery.

“I just want to bring people together to feel the fall,” Ringholz said. “I want to enhance the week by providing some new and interesting things to add to the regularly scheduled program.”

Wilcox Gallery grows with Teton art scene 110 Center St. 307-733-3950 and 1975 N. Highway 89 307-733-6450 WilcoxGallery.com

J

im Wilcox loves hunting for the abstract in nature.

He sees unusual patterns in the way a river unfolds on the landscape. He notes the shapes of the forests.

But there is one thing he never manipulates in paint, said his wife, Wilcox Gallery co-owner Narda Wilcox. Jackson visitors want to see the area’s famous mountain range.

“You better know those Tetons and have them portrayed right,” she said. Visitors “want to take home something they saw here and loved so much so they have a remembrance of it.”

You’ll find plenty of Teton images as well as other Western landscapes in Wilcox’s all-gallery show.

“Wildlife and Wildlands” spotlights the gallery’s nearly 40 artists and their work portraying Western landscapes and wildlife as well as cowboy and Indian themes.

“It’s a lot of new work, but we don’t throw out the old,” Narda Wilcox said.

Wilcox is one of Jackson’s oldest galleries. It opened in 1969 at a time when the valley wasn’t yet an art destination. Jim Wilcox struggled to get his work in the few local galleries that existed, so the couple opened their own.

Since then the gallery has expanded and flourished. It represents dozens of artists, several of whom will offer live demonstrations throughout the day and during a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.

The demonstrations will enable collectors to not just meet and connect with the artists but also to see their processes in action. There will be painters and at least one sculptor working during the demonstrations. Wilcox will work in his studio on North Highway 89, which will be open during the day.

“Most people have no idea what goes into creating these pieces of art,” Narda Wilcox said. “These pieces hang on the wall and in homes and become an integral part of people’s lives. To know the artist who created it is such a special thing.”

The show will also offer variety. Tom Mansanarez, of

“My Home Away From Home” is by Jim Wilcox, whose gallery began life before Jackson Hole was an art destination.

Idaho Falls, does tight portraits of wildlife, focusing on details like the hairs and whiskers. Charles Dayton, from Cokeville, creates Western scenes from his ranch.

The artists are all different, but most are painters whose work is realistic with a touch of impressionism, Wilcox said. The gallery is full of paintings that from a distance you can easily see it’s a tree or a mountain, but when you get close you see the brushstrokes.

“That’s the joy of paint,” Wilcox said. “If you want total realism you might as well take a photo. That’s the exciting part of painting to me: the illusion.”

Since the gallery first opened it has not only grown to two locations. It has participated in every Fall Arts Festival.

And it has seen the local art scene blossom.

“It’s now one of the best art markets in the country,” Wilcox said. “I think our little Jackson Hole outdoes them all.”

ou may have noticed that Asymbol is no longer in the Pink Garter Plaza. But it’s long from gone.

The company has moved to a new location on Scott Lane, one that actually serves the mission of the company a bit better.

The new spot has freed up some much-needed energy that can go back into the artists and production, said Josi Stephens, who heads up community and artist outreach programs for Asymbol.

“Over time we have come to realize that our strengths lie not just in vision but execution,” Stephens said. “We take much pride in doing things right. Our plan is to grow deeper roots as opposed to bigger ones.”

Asymbol, Stephens said, propagates and nurtures art and photography created by and for the action sports community. Born out of Travis Rice and Mike Parillo’s vision to connect the unique art of snowboard culture with the people who wanted it, Asymbol has in seven years become an art gallery with a global online following as well as a professional art printing company.

Asymbol has always strived to support its artists and foster the community that has inspired it.

“Even as we grow, the heart of Asymbol stays exactly where it started: with the art,” Stephens said.

When you walked into the old space in the Pink Garter Plaza it seemed like just a gallery. The new space is a little different. You’ll still see new and featured work on the wall, but behind the art is a collaborative space that the owners, artists and designers use to actually make the art. The new location in general has become much more studio-space oriented, but that doesn’t mean the gallery aspect is lost.

“The things that are the most important to us are connection and collaboration,” Stephens said, “something that is much more attainable in an open and less formal space.

“We don’t want walls between our printing office and showroom,” he said.

“They belong together, because without one there cannot be the other.”

The gallery part of Asymbol was initially intended as a showcase for its products, but it has morphed into so much more, Stephens said. It’s a place

You can find Iuna Tinta’s work at Asymbol, which has relocated to 150 Scott Lane. Tinta calls this piece “Autumn Sun.”

for the community to come when it needs inspiration and support, not just a formal art viewing space.

“It is the home of our art and the hard work that goes in to keeping it all alive,” she said.

The front part of the new space will still be dedicated to Asymbol’s everchanging extensive collection, and there will still be shows and events.

“One thing that we can all agree on is how fun it is to hang a show, a thing that we will continue to do regularly,” Stephens said.

There isn’t any specific Fall Arts Festival event planned, but in typical Asymbol fashion it will join with its new neighbors to throw a block party on Saturday, Sept. 17.

From 3 to 9 p.m. in “midtown” on Scott Lane, the businesses will get together with music, food and beverages to celebrate the diversity of the shops and community.

There will be a sort of mystery show at Asymbol during the event — we can’t tell you what, but you can bet it will be a good time.

“The show is going to be about us just having a little bit more fun going against the typical gallery format,” Stephens said.

You can still stop by Asymbol outside of event hours to see what it’s up to and investigate the new digs.

“Asymbol is a machine with many moving parts,” Stephens said. “We want everyone to have access to those parts.

On an internal level we all prefer to work collaboratively, a thing that was nearly impossible at the old space,” he said. “Our hope is to open it all up and let the energy flow through the room and back in to the world.”

Midtown Throw Down Local businesses in the midtown area of Jackson are getting together to throw a good ol’ fashioned block party from 3 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, on Scott Lane, and 9 p.m. to close at Hole Bowl.

Grand Teton Gallery goes bold and bright 130 W. Broadway 307-201-1172 GrandTetonGallery. myshopify.com

Rub elbows with the artists Whether working on a new sculpture or hobnobbing at receptions, artists will be at Grand Teton Gallery throughout the Fall Arts Festival. At press time the gallery was still firming up the schedule:

By Kylie Mohr

Rip Caswell – Sept. 10 Caswell and Al Hone – Sept. 13 Michelle Julene – Reception 4 to 7 p.m. Sept. 10 Deb Fox and Zach Babat – Reception Sept. 14 time tba Michelle Larsen and Peggy Ann Thompson – Reception Sept. 16, time tba Don DeMott, Teshia and David Gonzales will also be at the gallery at some point during the festival.

A

plethora of artists will visit Grand Teton Gallery during the Fall Arts Festival. Visitors can expect a variety of exhibits that focus on color and texture.

Rip Caswell will be sculpting in the gallery starting Saturday, Sept. 10. It will be a unique experience to watch because he will be creating what is called a “pre-cast,” working with clay to sculpt a piece that will later be cast in bronze.

Some of Caswell’s previous works include a mustang and a bison. Visitors will also have access to a pre-cast sale, at which sculptures will be available for a discounted price because buyers are investing without seeing the final product.

Caswell will be back in the studio along with fellow sculptor Al Hone on Tuesday, Sept.

13. They will answer questions about their techniques and subject matter on and off from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Artist Michelle Julene will also be in the studio from 4 to 7 p.m. on the first Saturday of the festival, Sept. 10. Gallery owner and director Mary Beth Warren describes Julene as “a more spiritual artist, with looser lines. She’s a real free spirit, and you can see that in her painting.”

Julene initially gained her reputation designing couture

Grand Teton Gallery’s roster includes Teshia, a Montana painter who goes by a single name. She calls this acrylic “Moose Sighting.” Teshia and other artists will visit the gallery throughout the Fall Arts Festival.

clothing for big-name clients.

She grew up around horses, and several years ago she began painting them to connect to her roots. She is now working on two horse series: “Into the Wild” and “Into the Mystic.”

On Wednesday, Sept. 14, the gallery will host a reception for wildlife watercolor artists Deb Fox and Zach Babat.

Fox is a local artist known for her large and brightly colored watercolors. Warren said her work “achieves a vibrancy that is unparalleled.”

“I call it my happy art,” Warren said. “I’m a real color person.”

Babat, a former bush pilot, divides his time between Montana and Alaska. When he’s not painting he is a fishing guide,

allowing him to paint fish from memory that are “detailed and whimsical,” Warren said.

“He gets the fish just right,” she said.

A reception on Friday, Sept. 16, will feature oil painters Michelle Larsen and Peggy Ann Thompson.

Larsen was named Idaho’s Artist of the Year. She builds a sculpture on the canvas with tissue and then brings it to life with bold colors, resulting in a two-dimensional work of art.

Thompson’s work is unique, too. She paints only with a palette knife, creating impressionist landscapes that rely heavily on texture and color.

“I love her work,” Warren said. “I think it’s beautiful.”

Artist Don DeMott is also supposed to come to Jackson at some point during the festival and do demos of his work, sculptures of Aspen tree groves.

“They’re mostly fall and winter pieces, and they’re admired for their uniqueness and beauty,” Warren said.

Artists Teshia and David Gonzales will also be in the gallery

during the festival. Gonzales is creating the poster for the upcoming LATOJA, a bike race from Logan, Utah, to Jackson Hole.

Warren has even more on her plate than a packed festival schedule. Grand Teton Gallery is also hoping to acquire a new moniker.

“I don’t like the name,” Warren said. “Everything here is called Grand Teton something or other. We need to do something different to stand out among the 28 other galleries in Jackson.

“People will get into town, visit us, and come back in at the end of the day and tell me that I’m their favorite gallery,” Warren said. “But I’d like to be more recognizable before people get here, too.

“By the time kids get to the back they’re like, ‘Wow, this can actually be fun!’” she said.

For a complete, updated schedule of all the artists visiting Grand Teton Gallery, check online at GrandTetonGalley. myshopify.com. Warren said the plan is to have an artist in the studio every day of the festival, but specifics will firm up closer to the dates.

Looking out and in at Tayloe Piggott

Tayloe Piggott Gallery 62 S. Glenwood Ave. 307-733-0555 TayloePiggottGallery. com

By Richard Anderson

A

rt, it is said, holds a mirror up to life.

But when a work of art is literally a mirror — albeit surrounded by LED lights, coated with colored films and set within deep box frames — the life it reflects becomes distant, foreign, even alien, giving rise to questions about reality and our perceptions of it.

Tayloe Piggott Gallery invites us into the fun house of Patrizio Travagli’s “Mirror Mirror on the Wall” for the 2016 Fall Arts Festival.

The contemporary gallery on South Glenwood Avenue also displays 10 large works by Alex Katz, many of them extreme close-ups of women’s faces that draw a viewer in — but only so far.

The two shows work well together to explore intimacy and distance, surfaces and boundaries, knowing and the unknowable.

Katz’ large portraits on paper, which run to 39 by 41 inches, impose giant female faces and figures on the room. Executed in a bright Pop art, graphic-novel style, they have a sense of idealization, cartoon versions of catalog models.

Expressions vary from engaged to expectant, open but guarded. But absent context, it’s impossible to know for sure what feelings lurk behind the faces, what stories and histories. The very title of

Alex Katz’ “Chance,” a cutout on aluminum, is on display at Tayloe Piggott Gallery during Fall Arts Fest.

the show, “What’s Your Name? Hi Nicole,” suggests a one-sided conversation.

Even in the two nonfigurative works — “Cityscape” and “White Impatiens” — there is a feeling of disconnect. In “Cityscape,” sky and skyline appear separated by a void. In “White Impatiens,” none of the flower petals and their green foliage touch as they float in a field of black.

“Chance,” a cutout on aluminum, shows three women in swim suits, each with a beach ball. But, again, there is no contact, either physical or emotional, between the three: Their “fun” is staged, flat, commercial.

Born in 1927 in Brooklyn, Katz has been exhibiting since 1951.

Early works included landscapes, abstractions and natural forms like plants and trees. But the ad-

vent of television influenced him greatly, and starting in the early ’60s he zoomed in on his subjects’ faces with stylized details like a strand of out-of-place hair or sharp lines cast by shadows.

Untouchable and immutable as Hollywood starlets on the silver screen, his women transcend the merely popular and come to feel like icons or idols.

The Italian Travagli plumbs

similar ideas, though from a very different direction.

In Travagli’s “Mirror Mirror On the Wall” series, the viewer ostensibly becomes the subject. What do we know better than our own reflection?

And yet, framed by wood or metal, surrounded by the glow of red, green or silver LED lights, and filtered through various tints of plastic film, the reality we perceive in Travagli’s mirrors feels distant, muted, a mysterious and slightly dark variation on our experience of ourselves. We fall into these magnificent reflections, like Narcissus lost in his reflection in the pool, forget about the world around us just like a frame that magically edits our reality.

The title “Mirror Mirror on the Wall” naturally brings to mind the second line of the fairy tale couplet, but it also evokes Alice’s adventures, both down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, as well as the oft-alluded biblical reference of “through a glass, darkly.”

Travagli’s work, lauded throughout Europe in particular, often makes use of light. Applying math and architecture, with chemical and physical treatments of materials, he affects how we perceive a space and how we interact with it.

Soft lighting can comfort or it can creep you out; Travagli sometimes manages both at the same time.

In addition to “Mirror Mirror” and “What’s Your Name,” both on display through Sept. 30 at Tayloe Piggott, the contemporary gallery will offer a sampling of some of its other popular artists, including Wolf Kahn, Susan Vecsey, Julian Schnabel, and a selection of Lance Letscher’s Dada-esque collages.

‘The Clouds Are Gathering’ over Broadway

By Teresa Griswold

P

oised 10 feet up on a pole by West Broadway is the WonderSpot, a space supported by Center of Wonder to showcase public art.

Built from an old chairlift pole, it was created eight years ago by Jackson artist Bland Hoke. Typically one or two artists a year are selected to install art in the space, which is seen by an average of more than 30,000 passing motorists each day, according to Lyndsay McCandless, Center of Wonder’s executive director.

In June potter and sculptor Jenny Dowd added her artistic interpretation to the WonderSpot, a piece called “The Clouds Are Gathering.” She said she intended to evoke a calm presence as people enter the hectic congestion of town. But the arduous process of installing the art piece was not so calm.

“The installation is visually simple, but was complicated to do,” she said.

Dowd primarily works in clay, pulling together small pieces to create a greater whole. While she has long been interested in collected objects and the interaction between them, she has never created anything as large as “The Clouds Are Gathering” nor installed anything outdoors that needed to be strong enough to withstand the elements.

The largest cloud in “The Clouds are Gathering” is over 8 feet wide and floats above two smaller clouds.

“Breaking out from the borders of the WonderSpot was visually important and also allowed the clouds to engulf the space,” she said.

Dowd started by making hundreds of ceramic balls, using plastic bowls as molds. The porcelain orbs were then threaded onto a steel armature that forms the shapes of the clouds, which take on varied shapes depending on your viewpoint, reminiscent of actual clouds floating through the sky.

Different types of clay and firing temperatures and processes created the range of colors of the orbs, which Dowd said adds to the variety of texture and depth. At nightfall strands of solar-powered fairy lights create a glow from within.

“Up close all the parts and pieces used to make each form are visible,” she said. The whole of the design is meant to interact with the space and each other.

She assembled the collection of three clouds piece See wonderspot on E15

On-the-move Jackson finds way

By Isa Jones

J

ackson Hole has been a part of cinema history since John Wayne rode “The Big Trail” into the valley on a horse back in 1930.

While Hollywood still finds inspiration in the jagged Tetons and wide-open fields — parts of “Django Unchained” and “The Revenant” were filmed here in recent years — locals have started to find inspiration in this little hole as well.

No, it’s not Los Angeles or New York. But Jackson is a filmmaking hotbed in its own right, a place innovation, outdoors and interesting characters collide.

“The unique thing about Jackson is the interaction of action sports, outdoors and art,” said Sam Pope, producer and founder of local production company KGB. “That confluence — and KGB is a product of that — our art comes from that.”

KGB has been in the valley for about a decade, but Pope and co-founder Chris Kitchen first came here, like many, to ski.

“We moved here as ski bums,” Kitchen said. “Ski first and film second. Now people move here for film.”

Skiing is not only a major sport in Jackson but an activity that allows film companies to thrive. Like giants Teton Gravity Research, KGB started with the “one film, one year” model, filming the extreme sport long before GoPros were attached to the helmets of 10-yearold ski prodigies.

“Your phone shoots better than our first camera,” Pope joked about the early days.

He’s right, and KGB is a good example of how a stalwart in Jackson — action sports filming — has evolved just as much as the directors and cinematographers of Hollywood.

KGB’s competitor, or peer, is Brain Farm. The production company that consistently partners with famous athletes, like Jackson’s Travis Rice, is pushing the limits on the kinds of editorial films being made.

“We have a diverse slate of content that is fueled by next-generation cinematography tools and are always trying to tell a unique story that transports you into new worlds,” Brain Farm owner Curt Morgan said.

Brain Farm has gained fame for its aerial work. Some of the best ski and snowboard shots come from the helicopter hovering yards away from the mountain.

“I grew up shooting out the door of a helicopter, strapped in by a seat belt, hoping I would get a de-

cent shot that wasn’t super shaky,” Morgan said. “Once gimbal technology become somewhat affordable we started playing in a new space. For me aerials are great because everyone lives on the ground, and to provide a bird’s-eye perspective takes the viewer into a new world for a moment.”

While Brain Farm shoots and distributes all over the world, Jackson is still spot No. 1.

“Jackson is just such a great place to create,” Morgan said. “Creators seem to flock here these days because it’s such an epic place to not only be creative and free but to be around other like-minded individuals.”

KGB is no longer just a one-film-a-year company, just as film in Jackson Hole no longer means trekking out to the backcountry and getting shots of snowboarders doing backflips. The production house now does 50 percent commercial work and 50 percent editorial work.

Brain Farm, whose name may be best known for Rice’s “Art of Flight,” also does high-end commercial and sponsored content work.

“The editorial stuff feeds the soul, and commercial feeds the bank account,” Pope said.

That transition highlights how extreme athletes nowadays “have their own tiny production crew” in the form of iPhones and GoPros, said Pope, but also how much the filmmaking playing field has grown. To put it bluntly, it’s no longer just ski bums.

One of those non-ski-bums is Jennifer Tennican, founder and principal filmmaker at JenTen Productions.

She has spent the past 20 years telling the stories not of the sports, but of the people of Jackson.

Tennican, unlike KGB or TGR, specializes in longform documentaries centered on Jackson.

“One of the ways you create a strong attachment to your community is you learn about your community,” Tennican said. “I just feel like it [filmmaking] helps me learn more about the community I live in.”

Tennican has spearheaded documentaries about Wilson’s Stagecoach Bar and about lifelong conservationist Bert Raynes. She is now working on one that follows the innovative downtown greenhouse Vertical Harvest for a year.

Filmmaking is extremely competitive in Jackson. As KGB’s Kitchen said, “There’s probably a commercial being shot right now.” So Tennican enjoys the people-oriented documentaries.

“There’s this niche,” she said. “Telling more community-people-driven, character-driven stories appeals to me.

So it’s a good niche.”

While filmmaking is bursting at the seams, filmmakers’ wallets hardly are. As KGB turns to commercial work and sponsored content to help fund its next creative endeavor, Tennican turns to partnerships with nonprofits, such as Slow Food in the Teton, which helps fund her Vertical Harvest film.

“I’m all for making documentary films of lucrative enterprises,” she said, “but the truth is indie documentaries and small films do not make a huge return on investment. So the model of working with nonprofits seems more honest. People are contributing, and a film is being produced.”

Of course, the one thing that keeps filmmakers, artists, photographers and tourists coming back to Jackson is not just the small documentaries on the people or the chance to film a sick ski jump. It’s the backdrop.

Jackson Hole Wild, which organizes speakers, events and films, along with the annual Wildlife Film Festival, is run by executive director and longtime resident Lisa Samford. She said the reason filmmakers keep coming back is simple.

“It’s all anchored on the intersection between creative inspiration and place,” Samford said, “the fact that this landscape for a century has inspired creativity across all art forms, from when Ansel Adams first photographed here to today.”

Of course the Grand Teton and the wolves are worth the time of a filmmaker from the BBC or National Geographic, but it’s more then that that keeps people coming back, Samford said.

“The challenge is Jackson has an unmistakable appeal,” she said. “But if you’re shooting a mountain or river, there’s a lot of them, so for location we’re constantly in competition. There has to be one more fabulous thing.”

Samford thinks that “one more thing” is the people — the names mentioned in this article and the hundreds we didn’t get to. It’s the Travis Rices and the Jimmy Chins and the folks at KGB and everyone else. Anyone can be inspired by Jackson Hole, but making a film here and then coming back again and again, that doesn’t work out for everyone.

“It’s the talent that’s here,” Samford said. “There’s a reason that Brain Farm and TGR and extreme sports are based here.

“It’s because there’s a lot of talent here.” she said. “It’s more than the backdrop. It’s artists and performers and the list goes on. It’s a very small town with a very big reach.”

Brookover is dedicated to every print Brookover Gallery 125 N. Cache 307-732-3988 DavidBrookover.com

By Isa Jones

D

avid Brookover originally went to Japan in 1986 to open an acupuncture clinic.

Thirty years later he owns a photography studio and gallery just off Town Square, where his rare-format photos sell for tens of thousands of dollars.

The walls of Brookover Gallery are covered with fine art photography, all black and white and all with custommade or custom-picked frames.

Brookover treats each photo as an original work of art, and considering what goes into getting each one on the wall, he should.

He shoots for only a couple of months out of the year, and selects only a few shots to print. He specializes in rare-format photography, meaning the prints are made with platinum palladium, silver gelatin, photogravure or bromoil. All are expensive, time-consuming processes more commonly used in the 1800s.

“With the flowers I’ll probably do editions of one or two.

Then you can treat it like a painting.”

— David Brookover PHOTOGRAPHER

Then there’s the printing paper. Brookover uses a variety, but some of it comes from Japan and is harvested only once a year.

There are times when Brookover gets the fancy printing process and fancy paper all together and then messes up the image.

“It’s very tedious,” Brookover said. “You’re always going to mess up no matter what. It takes two or three days minimum to get to your artist proof. Exponentially you’ll have more problems with larger prints.”

David Brookover’s “8:50 Near Monticchiello” is a platinum palladium print.

But the large-format photos and the variety of printing allow Brookover to express his vision.

“Being able to translate that over to different kinds of papers and different kinds of printing processes opened me up toward avenues for being creative,” he said. “I’m not stuck with one thing.”

His photos are mostly of animals and landscapes. He has explored both topics in depth since working for a photo agency and for Fuji many years ago. Plus, living in Jackson provides immediate exposure to both. And there’s a steady market for old-fashioned photos of a bison covered with snow.

“I made the monopoly,” Brookover said. “It’s very expensive to do. We have an audience to sell to, but you have to create that audience. Most of my clients are from New York, Connecticut, D.C., because that’s where the history of photography exists.”

Brookover has been experimenting recently not with the wild but, rather, with staged flower photos in his basement studio. He hopes to start making prints soon.

“It forces me to look differently, to really pay attention to the way light falls on a subject and what not,” he said. “I can get maybe one flower a day, but it’s fun.”

Brookover is always hanging new work, and currently there are a few large prints from time he spent in New Mexico. Because he tends to make just a few prints of each, some are the last print of their edition.

“With the flowers I’ll probably do editions of one or two,” he said. “Then you can treat it like a painting. There’s a uniqueness to it, which there should be.”

Brookover encourages serious collectors and photography novices to come by, explore and learn.

“It is historical processes with really nice presentation,” he said.

ackson Hole calls itself “the last of the Old West.” If you happen to be a collector of art from the days of the westward movement, you’re in the right place, especially at Cayuse Western Americana.

Walk into Cayuse — a cozy cornucopia of authentic Western collectibles and art — and you’ll likely feel as if you’re stepping back into the early days of Jackson Hole.

“It’s one of the only places where people will really be able to get a real feel for Western history that’s not sort of glossed over or become kind of kitsch,” gallery owner Mary Schmitt said.

The two-story historic house the gallery inhabits features all manner of one-of-a-kind Western art and antique items: cowboy belt buckles, early 20th-century Yellowstone National Park posters, Wild West Show beaded gloves, Native American silver and turquoise jewelry and more.

“A lot of people don’t know what to expect when they walk in,” Schmitt said. “They think they’re going to find a whole lot of ‘cute’ things, but instead they see items that serious collectors look for and try to build upon.”

Schmitt is an expert in the collection of cowboy, Indian and national park artifacts. She pays close attention to the authenticity, condition and aesthetic of the

Thursday, Sept. 15, through Saturday, Sept. 17 Buckle maker Clint Orms Silversmiths and Engravers

Cayuse Western Americana will feature rare and well-preserved Navajo saddle blankets during the 2016 Fall Arts Festival.

items she curates.

“Are these authentic rodeo gloves or manufactured by somebody over in Yugoslavia?”

Schmitt said, holding up the pair of gloves. “I need to believe in the piece myself.”

The same emphasis on authenticity in Western heritage collectibles at Cayuse applies on the

cowboy side as well, whether an item is 100 years old or is crafted today by those who are continuing the legacy of the old cowboy-style of designing and producing.

For instance, the vast collection of cowboy buckles features a real Western aesthetic. The same holds true for the breadth of cowboy-themed art and home

design accessories, such as pillows, saddles, candlesticks, lamps, saddle blankets and more.

Buckle maker Clint Orms Silversmiths and Engravers will be in the gallery from Thursday, Sept. 15, through Saturday, Sept. 17.

“While we normally have a great selection of these superb Western buckles, there will be an added selection from Clint’s collection,” Schmitt said. “Known as the best buckle maker working today, these heirloom pieces are truly works of art.”

During Palates and Palettes on Friday, Sept. 9, Cayuse will debut “Our Horses Are Sacred: Navajo Saddle Blankets,” a show of Navajo saddle blankets from the 1880s to the 1950s.

“What’s interesting and collectible about these weavings is the fact that most were woven either for Navajo use or for the early cowboys to use; therefore many do not survive in great condition,” Schmitt said. “Yet they are a true cultural diary of the Navajo after incarceration at Bosque Redondo.”

Schmitt said many of the blankets are now considered works of art to be displayed on the wall.

Master metalsmith Susan Adams will also be on hand for Palates and Palettes. Her jewelry is inspired by Western motifs, and her work will be on display at the gallery for the balance of September.

The Western Design Conference is also on Cayuse’s festival agenda (See page C6), with a booth featuring a selection of its Native American and Western artifacts. Adams, a returning Best of Show and Best Metal winner, plans to be at the booth with a juried pedestal piece and new jewelry.

New artist Margaret Sullivan will compete for the first time at the conference in the metal category with her hand-made concho belt, necklace and belt buckle. A selection of her latest work will also be available at the booth. In addition, Sullivan will be at Cayuse on Wednesday, Sept. 14, and Thursday, Sept. 15, and can design custom pieces for clients.

“You should be ready to see some things that you never expected to see and get a real taste of the West and how things were crafted,” Schmitt said of her gallery.

A triceratops skull on display at By Nature Gallery was found in Montana’s Hell Creek Formation. The original creature weighed in at about 11,000 pounds

ackson Hole is full of wildlife art, but

By Nature Gallery has it like no other.

The creatures you’ll see at the Crabtree Corner store were created by nature and sculpted by time, rather than human hands, and they’re not the kind you’ll encounter on national park trails or in the backcountry.

“How often do you run into a triceratops?” asked Kelly Gaffney, gallery director.

The triceratops, an herbivorous dinosaur, hasn’t roamed these parts for more than 60 million years. But in a corner of

By Nature these days you can check out a three-horned skull that belonged to one of the 10-foot-tall, 30-foot-long and 11,000-pluspound behemoths. Found in Montana in the Hell Creek Formation, the skull is a new addition to By Nature, and it’s a popular sight.

“People are really enjoying it,” Gaffney said.

“How often do you run into a triceratops?”

— Kelly Gaffney

BY NATURE GALLERY

Fossils aren’t the only things By Nature offers. It’s also what Gaffney calls a “rock store,” with geodes, moon rocks, meteorites, minerals and all sorts of other cool sciencey stuff, plus some furniture and home decor items, jewelry and books.

“Bring your curiosity” is the store’s motto.

And it’s impossible not to be curious, from the moment you walk through the door and see a “please do not sit in the geode” sign on a rock that’s the size of a child’s chair and is lined with purple crystals.

Some of the most exciting things at By Nature are, like the geode and the triceratops skull, large and amazingly old. The long fossil crinoid — a marine critter that kind of looked like a flower — was found near Holzmaden, Germany, and dates back about 180 million years to the Jurassic Period. A set of fiercesome claws found in the Ural Mountains came from a cave bear, a species that died out 24,000 years ago.

The cave bear paw costs $75,000, the crinoid $85,000, and the triceratops $300,000.

By Nature has plenty of smaller and less pricey items, though, including tiny slices of petrified wood; the fossilized spiral shells of ammonites, an ancient mollusk; and chunks

of sulfur and quartz.

By Nature is also a great gift shop. Pick up Susan Marsh’s new book, “Cache Creek,” for a nature-loving friend, a set of petrified bookends for your bookworm brother, a pair of prehistoric walrus ivory earrings for your fashionable sister-in-law, and small, perfectly preserved fish from Fossil Lake, which covered southwest Wyoming 50 million years ago, for your kid who’s just getting interested in fossils.

In fact, bring your kids to the store.

There’s lots for them to look at and even touch, starting in the front. They can pick up a soft-ball-size geode and crack it open with a metal device. It’s not free, but it’s fun.

“They can be the first ones to break it open and see what’s inside,” Gaffney said.

“This is a huge hit.”

merican Indian tribes connected to everything around them and everything they owned through art.

And that included the tools of war.

Their weapons were no exception when it came to their desire for things to be nicely made and artfully embellished.

Fighting Bear Antiques will show some of that work during the Fall Arts Festival, when owners Terry and Claudia Winchell will exhibit some of the beautiful and valuable Indian weapons they have recently acquired.

“We’ll be focusing on the art of Native American weaponry for the festival,” Terry Winchell said. “They loved to decorate their weapons.”

Much of the work comes from the Eastern Sioux and Pawnee nations. Most striking are the tomahawks that the tribes created using steel hatchet heads obtained from European and American traders in exchange for their own creations and for furs.

The tomahawks start with identical heads, but the Indians made the wooden handles, which they carved, often with hot files. There is usually beadwork added, either directly or to “drops,” hide decorations that were beaded or embroidered. The steel ax heads are incised or decorated with tap work, sometimes with moon or star designs, others times with bear paws or other animals tracks, sometimes with abstracts.

Besides the tomahawks Winchell also will show clubs, rifle scabbards and quivers.

Though some of the items are from the 1830s they have been well taken care of

by their creators and collectors, and look bright and clean. Much of it, Winchell said, was “collected, put away” and stayed in a clean, dry place for decades.

The Winchells’ big store on South Cache also offers a huge selection of the Old West, Indian, national park and other 19th- and early 20th-century antiques Fight Bear has sold for 30 years.

Winchell wrote a book on Thomas Molesworth, creator of some of the most sought-after cowboy-style furniture, and also carries Arts and Crafts-style furniture such as Stickley. Jewelry and art are another big part of the business, including, recently, a selection of original photographs printed and signed by F. J. Haynes, the official Yellowstone National Park photographer from the 1880s into the first part of the 1900s. Another even more famous early photographer, Edward Curtis, is represented by gravures from his series on American Indians.

Old West collectibles is a cyclical business, Winchell said, and he admits that the newest immigrants to the West are rarely as interested in the old stuff as their parents were. American culture was once flooded with Wild West fiction and cowboy movies, but there’s little of either now.

And in Jackson the dude ranch business was once a big part of the attraction but no longer elicits as much interest.

“It used to be that people came and spent time at a dude ranch, and they still do,” Winchell said. “But now their kids don’t want to get on a horse.”

But it’s not the same for every part of the field or for everything Winchell sells.

“Cowboy is out right now, Indian is good,” he said.

And if collectors in his particular field are fewer, “there is still a healthy contingent” of people who love the era and its artifacts, he said. “I still buy a lot of stuff and sell a lot of stuff.”

Glassblower Laurie Thal is finding a new creative outlet with fused glass installations. “Cathedral Peaks” is more than 6 feet long and 2 feet tall.

aurie Thal has been making glass art in Jackson Hole for 40-plus years, but lately she has changed course.

The artist is known for her gorgeous blown glass pieces, ranging from decorative bowls to everyday drinking glasses. Her artistic partner, Daniel Atlwies, etches the colored glass, creating intricate and mesmerizing designs and flourishes.

The blown glass has sustained Thal’s career, but recently she has discovered fused glass — the process of layering colors of glass and literally fusing them together — and it has opened a new door of creativity.

“It’s exciting,” Thal said. “It’s a totally different dimension than what I can do off the blow pipe. Off the blow pipe I’m limited to my back and shoulders.”

That limits the size of what she can create. But this year she invested in a 6-foot-long fusing kiln, which changes everything. Recently a client commissioned a glass piece that sits above a door frame. The colorful piece, which depicts the Tetons and resembles stained

glass, is 6 feet long and more than 2 feet tall.

“It opens up the door for huge experimentation,” she said.

Thal would like to focus more on fused glass and on commissions instead of making the same bowls or glasses over and over. But that wasn’t always the goal.

When she came to Jackson Hole in the 1970s she was determined to make her living as a glassblower. She created pieces and lugged them, carefully, from one trade show to another.

Over time she garnered attention, her skills improved, and she started shipping works to galleries around the country. Now she is mostly able to take commissions as her style keeps evolving.

“Colors have gotten richer and more complicated,” she said. “Everything is larger and more complicated.

“Working with Dan, he is such a perfectionist and has encouraged me to make really clean and beautiful pieces,” she said. “People who have known my work 10 years ago would still recognize it, but it’s at a higher level.”

Thal is still doing a lot of the same pieces as she was 10 years ago: bowls, martini and margarita glasses, as well as more decorative vases, some of which stand alone as sculptures. While it’s those last ones, the sculptures, that she is more interested in these days — and that includes lights and other decorative sculptures — she admits the basics will always be the bestsellers.

“I can’t quit making them,” Thal said. “I love when

Daily headlines delivered to your inbox.

Come to her open studio 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 9, through Sunday, Sept 11 Friday, Sept. 16, to Sunday, Sept. 18. people buy an amazing bowl, but I also love when people live with my work every day.”

For the 2016 Fall Arts Festival she won’t be bringing her work out but instead will invite buyers into her studio, tucked off Teton Village Road.

Thal will host an open studio the two weekends of the arts fest. Her studio will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 9, through Sunday, Sept. 11, and again from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, to Sunday, Sept. 18.

She said she wants people to better understand her “energy,” to see more of her work than she could show at an exhibit and also to learn more about fused glass and commission opportunities.

“People really love to discover where an artist creates work,” Thal said. “Come into my space, feel my energy, see where I live and where I work. Then when you take a piece home, it connects you back to that. Having one of the pieces in your house, it brings you that sense of Zen or calm or centeredness that you enjoyed here.”

Thomas D. Mangelsen’s “Night of the Summer Solstice” shows the rhododendron bloom on Roan Mountain, in the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina, on the longest day of the year.

t happens only once a year, and then only if conditions are perfect. There must be enough snow in the mountains for runoff to fuel the falls. The weather must be clear allowing the sun to hit the cascading water at the perfect angle in the less than 10-minute window at sunset.

But when it happens, Yosemite National Park’s Horsetail Fall is transformed. It appears to catch fire.

Tom Mangelsen waited four days, staking his spot for his tripod by 7 a.m., standing with about 2,000 other photographers. As evening fell the clouds moved in, extinguishing Mangelsen’s chance of capturing the illusion of burning water.

But on the fifth day the weather stayed clear, and as the

sun started to set, Mangelsen watched the water ignite.

A 23-frame panorama of “firefall” as the phenomena is called, along with new images from other natural wonders around the world, hangs in Mangelsen’s gallery, Images of Nature, for the Fall Arts Festival. He’ll show about a dozen new images he created this year.

After capturing firefall in Yosemite in February, Mangelsen headed to Death Valley for the “super bloom,” another rare occurrence. Dependent on rainfall, a carpet of yellow wildflowers covers Death Valley about every 20 years.

Mangelsen’s travels also took him to southeast Alaska, near Sitka, in March, where he witnessed humpback whales bubble-net hunt. The massive animals blow big bubbles under the water surrounding large schools of herring. The confused fish lunge upward and the whales follow, resulting in an explosion of water and herring on the surface, the fish chased by humpbacks with mouths agape. It’s an incredible and rare scene, and Mangelsen witnessed it with an unusual number of whales, up to 15 in a pod and multiple pods hunting near one an other.

He also managed to capture images like “Emerald

Waters,” featuring a bald eagle also on the hunt for herring, diving into the water cast green from the trees on the shore.

Mangelsen visited North Carolina for the famous rhododendron bloom and created a large panoramic image of the pink flowers covering the landscape.

While some of the events that Mangelsen photographed, like firefall, the super bloom and the rhododendron blossoms in North Carolina, were new to him, he also captured images of some of his favorite subjects, like Grand Teton National Park’s grizzly No. 399.

“I like to return to subjects, and I try to do better than I did before,” he said.

The show will feature new images of bobcats along the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park, iguanas from the Galapagos Islands and prints of grizzly bear No. 399 with her cub, nicknamed “Snowy,” who died this year after being hit by a car.

Mangelsen will host a reception at Images of Nature from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17.

The gallery is partnering with Nikai for the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk on Friday, Sept. 9.

orkshop celebrates the process of creating as much as it does the creation. Inside the boutique, owner Susan Fleming, a metalsmith, offers a variety of unique items, sourced locally and nationally, by ceramists, jewelry makers and more.

With a mission of creating a haven for exceptional and handmade items, Fleming continues to expand her offerings, be it her own designs through the studio Susan Fleming Jewelry or the addition of a showroom featuring the textiles of Stephanie Housley of Coral & Tusk.

The showrooms allow people “to witness the process and the art in the making,” Fleming said.

During the 32nd annual Fall Arts Festival, Fleming hopes to continue to spread the word about the artists whose work can be seen in her shop, and she invites visitors to stop by and see the process.

Fleming and the Workshop team will have a booth on Retail Row during the Western Design Conference from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, through Sunday, Sept. 11.

On Sept. 11, Workshop will also have a booth on Town Square for the 17th annual Takin’ It to the Streets art fair. Forty local artists and galleries will share an array of art and creations during an open-air market from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We love being part of the Fall Arts Festival because it is a concentrated time to celebrate our artists and the arts in general,” Fleming said. “It pushes people to create something new and exciting to offer, and that is what keeps art moving forward.”

Although the shop is not hosting an opening, Fleming encourages patrons to stop by and enjoy new and one-ofa-kind pieces by Housely, jewelry designer Esther Sullivan, and textile and linen wall art designer Eliza Eddy.

“These are artists that we normally carry in the store; we are committed to promoting them and helping them to continually develop their style of art,” said Fleming, who will also show her latest work.

join Workshop. She recently moved from New York to Bondurant and has a showroom space within Workshop.

“We are delighted to have her textiles in the shop and to offer a whole new branch of her business,” Fleming said.

Originally from the Ohio Valley, Housley comes from a long line of Appalachian women known to make “something from nothing,” she said, be it hand-stitched lace, dolls or clothing. She has combined her childhood love of exploring the natural world and learning from her mother and grandmother into a career as a textiles and home decor designer.

“Drawing is my passion,” Housley said. “Embroidering these drawings makes them come to life.”

Housley’s patterns start as pencil drawings that are then redrawn stitch by stitch using specialized software.

Each piece is machine-embroidered before being finished in her studio, a process that can take months.

Housley’s whimsical designs fit right in at Workshop.

“I choose my artists to fit in with the overall aesthetic of the store and seek out artists that use unique processes,” Fleming said. “I look for a balance between modern and classic and a new take on ‘Western.’”

In addition, Lotus Vibes said it will be “offering complimentary sound healing and bio mat sessions as well as a 10-minute massage as our way of celebrating art, beauty and well-being.”

Lotus Vibes began life as more of an art gallery, called Intencions. It has evolved into what proprietor Daniela Botur describes as “a wellness boutique.”

In addition to a menu of yoga classes, including Gentle Detox Flow and Restorative, Lotus Vibes sells jewelry, essential oils and other items.

It also offers a variety of healing therapies employing crystal sound bowls, aromatherapy, meditation, chakra clearing and more. Go to LotusVibes.org to get the full menu.

Though not strictly an art gallery, Lotus Vibes has kept art a part of the picture. Located in 160A W. Broadway, a busy stretch of downtown Jackson, Lotus Vibes exudes a sense of peace.

A bit of that is contributed by the colorful abstract paintings by yoga instructor Betsy Kelsik and large tonal canvases

by Jim Alford.

“Energetically they’re very, very calming,” Botur said. “They just give a sense of well-being and serenity.”

Lotus Vibes aims to “guide people in their busy and overstimulated lives to quiet the mind, balance your physical and energetic body, inspire gratitude and connect with your inner joy and wisdom.”

It sounds like a peaceful option to add to your Fall Arts Festival itinerary.

Holdsworth pounces on moments in nature Wild by Nature 95 W. Deloney Ave. 307-733-8877 WildByNatureShop.com

By Teresa Griswold

T

he hulking bison’s distinctive silhouette was barely discernible. Covered in snow, it blended into the landscape during a blizzard in Yellowstone in 2011, one of the snowiest winters on record.

Only after it moved its head, revealing two dark eyes and a sharp pair of horns, was photographer Henry Holdsworth able to identify it as a living, breathing wild beast.

The bison’s face caked in snow was destined to become one Holdsworth’s favorite images.

He recounted his story as two visitors to his Wild by Nature gallery stood mesmerized in front of the image, visibly sharing his passion for wild animals and nature and charmed to meet the man who had captured the scene.

They had never been to Yellowstone National Park but were planning a visit the next day. Entering Holdworth’s gallery gave a hint of their journey ahead, the walls filled with grand images of the Tetons, expansive fields of pastel wildflowers, and intimate portraits of bears, moose, bison and foxes in animated, artistic renditions captured at the right time in the right circumstances.

“One of the reasons I am so passionate about photographing wildlife is that the animals can’t speak for themselves,” Holdsworth said.

His images give them a voice. A dedicated conservationist, he is passionate about preserving the environment.

He educates children and adults about the natural environment and photography in workshops and classes at places such as the Jackson Hole Community School, Teton Science Schools’ Journeys School and the Murie Center.

He serves on the board of the Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation, and he centers much of his work on the natural history of threatened species such as grizzly bears, bald eagles, bison and trumpeter swans.

Every photo in his gallery has a story behind it. One of Holdsworth’s newest images was one he had been hoping to capture for years. Intent on not just documenting nature but making a work of art, the wildlife biologist turned photographer spends hundreds of days each year in the field, be it Grand Teton and Yellowstone national parks,

The elements lined up perfectly for photographer Henry Holdsworth last winter in Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park. The resulting image, “Buried Treasure,” will be part of his Fall Arts Festival show this year.

Alaska or Africa.

“I love animals, and that motivates me to get out and observe,” Holdsworth said. “My love of nature is what drew me to photography in the first place. Being a naturalist helps me all the way around. I can anticipate the perfect moment.”

His understanding of animal behavior helps him capture that moment because he can anticipate the animal’s next move. But there also are technical aspects to his job.

“There has to be the right lighting, a good background and the subject,” he said. “All these things have to come together at the right time.”

It takes patience.

For years Holdsworth watched, waited, observed

and anticipated, trying to get the full symphony of motion of the rocketing leap, jump and dive of a hunting fox. This past winter, while he was escorting two students on a photography excursion to Yellowstone, the perfect moment lined up. In the Lamar Valley against a pristine landscape of white, Holdsworth captured a sequence of five photographs of the pouncing fox. He titled it “Buried Treasure.”

The image will be part of Holdworth’s fall exhibit showcasing new work from the Yellowstone region. His fall show, “Grand Tetons: A Photographic Journey,” bears the same title of his new book, scheduled for a holiday release.

Holdsworth will hold a reception for his fall show during the Palates and Palettes Gallery Walk, scheduled for 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9.

hether you’re seeking craft cocktails with a botanical twist, artisanal creations served amid crystal chandeliers and velvety walls in a Prohibition-inspired bar or those with a heavy dose of south-of-theborder ole, look no further.

The wildly popular movement to produce the ultimate craft cocktail has taken hold in Jackson Hole and is growing at the speed of light.

Starting with the Rose, which opened its doors in 2012 and heralded the valley’s official entry into the growing trend, the artisanal cocktail has become the focus of other bar and restaurant owners who want to add fresh ingredients and greater artistry to their beverage offerings.

Since then these cocktails — made with high-end spirits, liquers, infusions, syrups, tinctures, botanicals and spices — have become a staple here in a number of popular bars and restaurants, including Hatch Taquiera and Tequilas, the Kitchen and Lotus Organic Bakery Bistro and Lounge.

Nestled next to the Pink Garter Theatre, the Rose serves cutting edge, alcohol-forward cocktails made from fresh ingredients handcrafted in a setting reminiscent of a speakeasy. The bar was created under the tutelage of Proprietors LLC, a world-renowned consulting business composed of Dave Kaplan and Alex Day. The two got in on the ground floor of the craft cocktail movement in 2006 with their now famous bar, Death & Co in New York City’s East Village.

Kaplan, a Jackson native, is a partner in the Rose. He and cocktail visionary Brittany Fells, along with a team of talented bartenders, create the lounge’s craft menu during weekly bar-banter sessions that focus on trends and tastings.

Kaplan and Fells enjoy talking about the process of making artisanal drinks from cleverly sourced high-end spirits, liquers and bitters, fresh herbs and spices and housemade syrups, juices, botanicals and infusions, while using different types of ice cubes that melt

The pen and ink drawings that grace the cocktail menu of the Rose bring to mind Old World whimsy with a dash of steampunk.

slowly or more quickly — all key to making an exceptional beverage.

While offering up a sampling, Fells explained that combining complex flavors is what creating an artisanal cocktail is all about.

Meanwhile, Kaplan expressed his passion for the craft cocktail, tossing around words like “organoleptic” and “spirit geek.”

“It’s been fun over the years to see the Rose develop its own style,” Kaplan said. “So much of it is about continuing to learn. … It’s so easy to fall in love with this culture.”

Drinker-at-large Matt McQuilkin, a regular, said the Rose fills a niche in the valley that other establishments do not.

“It’s a unique complement to everywhere else in the valley be-

cause they are focused on the cocktails … and they cater to a wide palate,” he said while sipping a “Seamless,” which he called “delicious, dangerous and unique.”

Next up was the perfectly tart, slightly sweet alchemical mixture “The Jabberwocky,” inspired by a nonsensical Lewis Carroll poem from “Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.”

This magical concoction features Overholt rye, Appleton rum, lemon, muddled blackberries and switchel — a beverage used in the old days to hydrate thirsty field hands, “an old-time Gatorade,” if you will. It contains apple cider vinegar, maple syrup or molasses, and ginger. Added to the Rose’s version is the flavorful spice turmeric, often ingested because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

A hangover helper, perhaps?

Just down the road at Hatch Taquiera and Tequilas, a more simple approach to the craft cocktail prevails.

“Our goal,” said Chad Brown, manager at Hatch, “is to do something different that nobody’s done … and we want to give people the opportunity to try something different that’s in the realm of what’s familiar.”

He works closely with cocktail enthusiast and chief bartender Alden Nuse to offer customers a gateway to artisanal cocktails with a twist. Take the “Negroni,” for example. It’s an Italian classic made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. Nuse said he “put a spin on it” and created the “Imperfect Mexican Negroni,” made with unequal parts of El Tesoro Reposado, Lillet, Campari and orange bitters.

Brown said their drinks must be simple to prepare: “We see how much in a hurry everybody is. You can fight it or cater to it.”

Meanwhile, over at Lotus, inspiration for artisanal cocktails continues to grow out of its mission to create inner health through organic eats and the powerful alchemy of cocktails.

“It’s really important to me that we make creative cocktails that are also medicinal, with flavors and aromas that help your body, whether the ingredients provide adrenal support or an immune boost or something else,” owner Amy Young said. “It’s my wellness center in the form of a restaurant and bar. You can nourish yourself while drinking cocktails, you know.”

Currently operating on North Glenwood but moving in October to a bigger space on North Cache Street next to Liberty Burger, Lotus is adding a separate bar and new, stepped-up artisanal cocktails. Young hired artisanal cocktail consultant Jessa Talermo to harness the power of healing that is in certain herbs and plants in the natural world.

“Before the craft cocktail culture became trendy,” Talermo said, “I was infusing spirits and bringing in different botanicals to build

drinks, because that’s what I do with food.”

Young and Talermo have created a craft cocktail menu that includes offerings such as “Tom’s Tea-Ball,” a healthy play on the vodka and Red Bull drink “Speedball.” The tart yet slightly sweet, caffeinated green cocktail features barrel-aged Old Tom Ransom gin, fresh lemon juice, matcha green tea, honey simple syrup and muddled mint. It has “skyrocket levels of antioxidants,” Young said.

The cocktail “Fresh Beets” — High West double rye whiskey, beet simple syrup, celery root juice and fresh lemon — has lots of vitamins and minerals, can calm the nervous system, rejuvenate the liver and adrenal glands, and stimulate the metabolic system, Talermo said.

“We’re all just wanting to take that craft cocktail to the hippie patchouli level,” she said. “There’s going to be quartz-infused rosewater spritzed on top of one of the cocktails.”

Another team with a different approach — general manager Jeremy Weiss and bar manager Kristen Hawley of the Kitchen — is designing artisanal cocktails like “the Brooklyn,” one barrel at a time.

“It lives in the office,” Weiss said, referring to the barrel.

The aging process can take a week or so in a new barrel, but once it’s used eight or 10 times that takes longer.

The two share a love of bitter drinks that are easy on the palate.

Their creations are slightly sweet but not too much so, and have a complex variety of flavors, with an extra boozy kick.

“We love fun cocktails and we wanted to share them,” Weiss said.

“They’re high-octane but they don’t taste like it.”

With its warm, minimalist decor, soft lighting and urban ambience, the Kitchen offers handcrafted beverages with clever names that sometimes have inside meanings to staff. For example, there’s “The Lusitania,” which refers to a ship sunk during World War I and how everyone feels at the end of a crazy busy summer, Weiss said.

Signature wines are ‘best of both worlds’

ackson Hole Winery’s Anthony Schroth knew there would be challenges producing wine at a high elevation. But he didn’t realize there would be many advantages, too.

This year’s Fall Arts Festival signature wines, a syrah and a chardonnay, originated in California but were made

in Wyoming. After the grapes were transported to Jackson — packed on dry ice to keep them fresh — the fun began.

“It’s the best of both worlds, really,” Schroth said. “California is one of the best wine-grape-growing regions in the world. And when we make wine at a high elevation it slows down the fermentation process, allows more skin-to-juice See WINES on F9

Center of Wonder offers center of info

ackson has an unusual problem for a small town: There’s too much to do. Well, at least too many must-hit events to keep track of.

So the Center of Wonder is going to do it for you.

During this year’s Fall Arts Festival the nonprofit will launch the first phase of a new website, DailyWonder.org.

The Center of Wonder partnered with the Cultural Council of Jackson Hole to create an online community calendar for all the arts and cultural events in Jackson Hole, said Lyndsay McCandless, executive director of the Center of Wonder.

The website will offer a place for nonprofit and for-profit galleries and venues as well as individual artists to let the community know about events.

DailyWonder.org will be free to use, thanks to support from the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, the Center of Wonder, individual donations and a few advertisements.

McCandless started thinking about the need for this type of listing about a decade ago when she owned a gallery in downtown Jackson. There were always

so many events happening in town but no single spot to find information about them. After an opening and show in her galley McCandless often heard from people that they had forgotten it was happening or hadn’t heard about it until after.

The idea for a centralized arts calendar sat in her journal for years.

Taking on such a large task would be hard for most organizations, but creating the communitywide resource falls under the Center of Wonder’s mission to advocate and support the whole arts community, she said.

The calendar platform is easy and user-friendly for searching and loading events, McCandless said. She knows it will take some time, but she hopes it will become the go-to place for people planning their weekends or wondering what events are happening or coming up.

The first phase, offering the calendar information, will launch during the Fall Arts Festival.

McCandless is already planning another phase that will include content, such as interviews and podcasts with artists and other people who are active in the art community. She doesn’t know yet when that will launch.

At gift shop it’s all American Made Made in Gaslight Alley 307-690-7957 MadeJacksonHole.com

By Isa Jones

M

ade, almost hidden in Gaslight Alley off Town Square, is the kind of gift shop where you would actually want to buy something to ship to your relatives or take home after a vacation in Jackson Hole.

That’s a testament to what Made does: curate local goods and art that embrace Jackson’s past and future.

“It’s fun to do both,” owner John Frechette said. “Instead of the old Jackson cliche of rubber tomahawks, we said, ‘Let’s do something different.’ We kept finding people who were excited for new things but also loved the Old West and the bucking bronco and that kind of thing, so we put a new twist on it.”

Made has been thriving for six and a half years. Its success allowed Frechette and his partner, Christian Burch, to open Mountain Dandy, across the alley, two and a half years ago.

More focused on home goods and male lifestyle, Mountain Dandy has evolved over those two years, leading to the opening of Mountain Dandy Showroom on Pearl Avenue, which contains mostly home goods and furniture.

Made offers vintage park posters, glass coasters with the bucking bronco logo, original artwork and jewelry, and much more. There are stuffed animals, pillows adorned with images of the Tetons, pint glasses, mugs, scarves,

Made, located in Gaslight Alley, carries glass belt buckles, jewelry, vintage park posters and more — all American made.

candles and more than a few oddities.

There are also glass belt buckles made by Frechette.

Part of the origin of Made was finding somewhere to sell his hand-crafted buckles.

“In both the shops we work with only American makers,” Frechette said. “Some local artists, a lot of regional, from all over the U.S. We try really hard not to carry stuff that is available elsewhere in town. … The goal is to be different and do new things.”

Made highlights artists around Jackson Hole, albeit the ones making greeting cards and prints instead of paintings of bison. It also focuses on local clients.

“We’re lucky we have a really good local following,” Frechette said. “We get good year-round business from local folks, and of course the summer swells with tourists.

We love seeing all the local faces back in the shop.”

Frechette said residents not only provide the majority of business but have allowed the store to expand.

“They’re super supportive of what we’re doing,” he said. “It allows us to do our thing and give back to the community.”

While the items vary, one constant in Made and Mountain Dandy is an emphasis on forward-thinking, solid design.

“Christian, he really loves design stuff,” Frechette said.

“He is really good at the design stuff and has a good eye.”

In fact, there are aspects of Made that feel less like a gift shop and more like a design store full of the kind of items that help define the aesthetic of your home.

Whether you’re looking for a gift, searching for local art or just browsing, it’s worth going off the beaten (or wooden) path into Gaslight Alley to explore Made.

“There’s always something new,” Frechette said. “We have stuff coming in all the time. We hope to provide a friendly face” when people and come in and get a gift for themselves or someone else.

Two Grey Hills to host potter, weaver

n Acoma fine-line pottery painting expert and a crowd-favorite weaver are set to dazzle visitors to Two Grey Hills Indian Arts and Jewelry during the Fall Arts Festival.

A family of potters will travel from Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico, for the first weekend’s spotlight.

“Rebecca Lucario is the master of fine-line painting,” said Scot Mattheis, who runs the gallery with his father, Gary.

Mattheis said making that kind of pottery is a complex process. First, Lucario digs clay out of the ground. It’s hard, like slate, making that a challenge. Because it’s natural clay she uses a “coil and pinch” method, rather than a wheel, to shape her pieces.

Lucario will be painting some of her pottery while she’s at Two Grey Hills this fall. Her dyes are made from vegetables, roots and berries, and she paints with a yucca leaf, usually freehand.

Keep that in mind when examining Lucario’s work. Every piece is full of intricate geometric patterns — patterns so perfect, Mattheis said, that people sometimes think they’re generated by a computer.

“In my opinion she’s the best See TWO GREY HILLS on F7

estled in an artsy, commercial nook just off Broadway on Scott Lane is Jackson’s newest gallery: Penny

Lane, a hybrid store that is part event space, part clothing boutique and part gallery.

Nearby shops and eating places like Atelier Ortega chocolatier, the Bread Basket, Floral Art, Matterhouse and Frost Salon complete the neighborhood, while bright orange chairs and flower boxes on the street-front patio greet passers-by.

A large, round welcome mat at the door shouts “Hello You Lovely People” in block letters, and that name, Penny Lane, con-

jures up the Beatles’ familiar tune and evokes a feeling of familiarity and comfort.

That’s what owner Andi Keenan was aiming for when she opened the space a little over two months ago.

It all started when Rob Hollis, owner of Frost Salon and one of eight artists who have their own personal gallery in the collective, brought the concept to Keenan. Ben Roth, a well-known local artist, was the next to sign on after Hol-

lis. From there, local potter Jenny Dowd joined and then another and another.

“The whole thing was built by word of mouth,” Keenan said. “It’s a homey, local spot with playful bits around every corner.”

Sheila Tintera, a painter and printmaker who is one of the artists with her own gallery space in Penny Lane, said it is a unique venue where she has the freedom to curate her own shows.

“I initially hung all landscape work,” she said, “as well as hand-pulled etchings, lithographs and woodcuts, and recently added a fun series of multimedia painting of primitive animals to the mix.”

Dowd showcases all sides of her ar,t including pottery, drawings and sculpture in her personal gallery space. Because her individual pieces are meant to interact with the others she enjoys seeing them displayed together.

As Dowd’s pieces form a collective within her space, the artists in Penny Lane play off of one another, collectively.

There’s a sense of freedom and community. Tintera recently started a painting of Ben Roth’s outdoor public art installation of billowing red curtains at the entrance

to Rendezvous Park. She texted him an image of her early study while the oil paint was still wet.

Another bonus to the space is that artists can leave the business side to Keenan.

“Artists want to create,” she said, “and they can continue to devote their time to their art instead of to the business of selling. I am blown away by how creative and imaginative everyone is with their ability to dream an idea and create it. It’s as — Andi Keenan much a gift for me as it is for them.”

contact, and we’re able to more fully preserve fruity aromatics.”

Maureen Murphy, director of special events for the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce, said the local wine was a big hit last year.

“Why not celebrate the fact that we have a winery here, too? It’s refreshing,” she said.

Schroth said both wines came out beautifully this year.

“The chardonnay is a bigger, richer chardonnay than last year,” the winemaker said. “It has a lot of green apple, melon and citrus notes, with more of a buttery, oaky texture. It’s more on the fruit end with the oak as a complement to build texture and mouth feel.”

Schroth described the syrah as a “rich wine with a big mouth feel” with “lots of layers of black cherry, plum, currant and raspberry notes with cocoa and caramel notes coming out as well.

“It finishes smooth, with a little touch of acidity,” he said.

The syrah was aged in French oak barrels for 20 months to bring it into balance.

Colorado artist Edward Aldrich’s featured oil painting for the festival, “Greeting The Dawn,” graces the wine labels.

Profits from wine sales go back to the Fall Arts Festival to help put on the event year after year.

You can pick up a bottle — or two — at the Liquor Store and Wine Loft, WestSide Wine and Spirits, Smith’s, Dornan’s Wine Shoppe in Moose and the Jackson Hole Winery.

WRJ Interior Design: Art meets design WRJ Interior Design 30 S. King St. 307-200-4881 WRJDesign.com

By Kate Hull

E

qual parts gallery space, showroom and design firm, WRJ Interior Design has a mantra of “inspired by the natural world; informed by the rest of it.”

You get a sense of that as soon as you step through the door on South King Street and begin perusing the Moroccan rugs, Ralph Lauren Home sets and regional artists’ work.

“We are an interior design firm with two showrooms in town offering a very eclectic mix of things,” said Lily Lanahan, showroom associate. “Some people know us for our art, some know us for our furniture and others know us for our table accessories.

“At the end of the day we are a lifestyle brand,” she said. “We like to marry a lot of different looks and aesthetics.”

Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer relocated WRJ Interior Design from Manhattan to Jackson in 2010. Six years later the firm has a growing team and represents nearly a dozen artists, from local wildlife photographer Taylor Glenn to scratchboard artist Julie Chapman.

“What is really different is that we are able to supply a gallery space for our artists, but what is most unique about our platform is our ability to then place their work in our projects,” Lanahan said.

“It isn’t just people walking through the doors of our showroom and enjoying the works; it is about us presenting their work to our clients. We know their homes and know what would fit on an open wall.”

Although WRJ Interior Design is not hosting one particular special event during the 32nd Fall Arts Festival, the team is excited each day to share the firm’s exclusive

“Glacier,” a 96-by-72-inch mixed-media on mahogany wood panel, is by Bradford Stewart, WRJ Interior Design’s newest featured artist. He is known for his large works.

brands and the work of its featured artists.

The newest artist on the WRJ team was added this past June: Los Angeles-based

former composer and current abstract artist Bradford Stewart. The showroom is dotted with his large-scale works, thick layers

of neutral colors that are inspired by music.

“He listens to contemporary music and classical jazz while he works and is really influenced by the impact of the music, how it makes him feel and how he responds on the canvas,” Lanahan said.

Calling his work nonconformist, Stewart never stays on one subject for too long.

“I am interested in so many different things that I just can’t do one thing over and over again,” he said.

He has created one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces for corporations around the globe that are now hanging in theaters, corporate offices and other places. He is working with Calvin Klein to create pieces for the fashion designer’s storerooms around the world.

“I follow my interests, but I also enjoy commissions,” Stewart said. “It stretches me once again into areas I might not normally go into. I tend to use a lot of warm colors, but if someone wants silvers and grays, which I am using throughout this Calvin Klein project, it can take me to a different direction than I would normally do.”

Lanahan said one of the most exciting parts of having Stewart on board is pairing his work with a client’s home.

“Bradford’s work fits in ranch homes, contemporary homes or state-of-the-art architecture. He continues to be known for his big-scale paintings that really make a statement,” she said. “It is really special because he is willing to do any commissioned works for us so we can help our clients find exactly what they are looking for.”

WRJ Interior Design will have regular store hours throughout the Fall Arts Festival and is inviting patrons to step inside and explore the intersection of art and interiors.

“Our doors are open,” Lanahan said. “We are representing fine artists whose work is for sale off our showroom walls.

“It’s not just to see and look at the lifestyles we can create,” she said. “Our artists are just as much the substance of who we are.”

t’s time to get a new pair of earrings.

For this year’s Fall Arts Festival, the longtime Jackson business JC Jewelers will be showing off all the bling your ears could need.

“We have styles for almost everyone,” owner and gemologist Jan Case said. “We have larger pieces. Some of the really small earrings are really popular, and they’re fun and different. Every age group and every style.”

It’s easy to walk right by JC Jewelers. The little log cabin is next to the Bunnery, and between the foot traffic to the breakfast spot and the other restaurants next door it would be easy to weave through the crowd and come out the other side having never seen it.

“We have larger pieces.

Some of the really small earrings are really popular, and they’re fun and different.”

— Jan Case OWNER AND GEMOLOGIST, JC JEWELERS

But if you do see it, it’s worth stopping in. Unlike some jewelry stores, where an associate immediately greets you and possibly judges you to see if you are wealthy enough to deserve attention, the staff here is welcoming and nice. Every inch of wall seems to be covered with pieces, ranging from affordable, simple necklaces to a pair of 14-karat white gold earrings with a price tag that contains a handful of zeros.

Whether you’re looking for a necklace to wear to a gala or one you can wear while you hike the Grand, JC Jewelers seems to have an option available.

Case and her husband, Jeter, both Jackson Hole natives, opened the little jewelry store on North Cache in 1988.

Since then it has enjoyed a steady success, with most of

the inventory provided by Jeter, who is a jeweler.

“I’ve always loved jewelry, and I worked for a jeweler for about 10 years,” Jan Case said. “Then Jeter got interested in it. ... Then we started our business here.”

But the shop also showcases other designers. Right now there is work from artists from both coasts and everywhere in between.

Of course there are the traditional Teton-inspired items — gold and silver etched with the range’s distinctive outline — you find in many shops near Town Square.

But there is much more than that. Right now the shop is showing a bunch of pieces that incorporate elk ivory, which mixes the Old West with high class.

Case said the store has thrived in Jackson because of its variety — prices range from $50 to $10,000 — and the fact that Jeter Case makes pieces to match the Jackson lifestyle.

A Home To House Your Art...

“The style I like and my husband likes works well in Jackson,” Case said. “It’s wearable. He sets the stones low as he can.”

But it’s not just about shiny, expensive gems and diamonds for the couple.

“What my husband loves doing the most is custom wedding rings,” Case said. “It can be satisfying in the way that you’re making heirlooms. That is wonderful.”

Jeter Case also does various other custom pieces for anyone in need of something that is one of a kind.

For the Fall Arts Festival, however, it’ll be about earrings, not rings. Case said the shop will be showing work by a bunch of guest artists, alongside Jeter Case’s work.

“Every style from small to very long,” she said. “Silver to platinum. It will be many different artists including us.”
