A collection of works by Kathryn Mapes Turner Jennifer L. Hoffman Stephanie Revennaugh June 11th to July 6th
FEATURED ARTIST
Kathryn Mapes Turner I am moved by the beauty of Nature as it provides those evanescent moments of inspiration and subjects which capture my curiosity and imagination. I then strive to distill this seed of inspiration to their essential, simplified elements. The results are compositions that are created with both a sense of disciplined refined technique and exploratory spontaneity. At the heart of wonder is the curiosity to explore presence. When we follow that thread it can only lead us to appreciation, which I feel is the motivation for each of my paintings. They are born out of a deep love for what I am experiencing in the Natural World. Kathryn Mapes Turner is a Jackson Hole native and forth generation of a ranching family. Growing up surrounded by the magnificent beauty of Grand Teton National Park directly influences her love of the visual world and beauty. Through her oil and watercolor paintings, Turner expresses her passion for the landscape and the natural world. Now nationally recognized and award winning, her work has been featured at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum – Birds in Art Exhibition, American Impressionist Society, National Museum of Wildlife Art, and the American Academy of Equine Art. Publications include the cover of the Saturday Evening Post, Fine Art Connoisseur, SouthwestArt, American Art Collector, Western Art and Architecture, Big Sky Journal, Images West, and Cowboys and Indians Magazine. She is a member of the Oil Painters of America, National Watercolor Society, and Rocky Mountain Plein Air painter.

FEATURED ARTIST
Jennifer L. Hoffman As an artist, I am perpetually caught in a conundrum, compelled to capture impermanent and fleeting moments while being drawn to those moments specifically because they are so transient. The challenge is to distill the essence of that moment - to find the heart of that very complex feeling of inspiration, and translate it into two dimensions. For me, that search involves painting on location and in the studio; painting from life and from imagination. It involves experimentation with color, with pigment, with texture, with mark making and blending, with brushwork and finger smudges. It involves simplification. Using a variety of media including pastel and oil and cold wax, I hope to capture the elusive sense of wonder I feel in the natural world, and share it with my viewers. As John O'Donohue writes in his poem, For Presence, "May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven / around the heart of wonder." Jennifer L. Hoffman has participated in many regional and national exhibitions. Her work has been included in the Pastel Society of America (PSA) 40th Anniversary show Enduring Brilliance at the Noyes Museum, the PSA Pastels Only National Exhibition, the Salmagundi Club’s Annual NonMembers’ Juried Exhibition, Oil Painters of America's National and Western Regional Exhibitions, the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painter's National Exhibition, and Door County Plein Air, among others. In 2012, she was nominated by the editors of Southwest Art, American Art Collector, and Fine Art Connoisseur for inclusion in Artists for a New Century at the Bennington Center for the Arts, Vermont. Her most recent awards include the George Inness Jr. Memorial Award for Pastel at the 2012 Salmagundi Club Non-Members Juried Painting Exhibition in New York City, the Pastel Society of the West Coast Award at the 2011 PSA National Exhibition, and Plein Air Magazine’s Award of Distinction at the American Impressionist Society 12th Annual National Juried Exhibition. Hoffman is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and also holds memberships in the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters, the Oil Painters of America, and the American Impressionist Society. She shows her work at Turner Fine Art in Jackson, Wyoming.

FEATURED ARTIST
Stephanie Revennaugh I model form because it is the most natural way for me to express an idea or feeling. I model the horse because its form has been imprinted into my consciousness through long hours of interaction, focused observation and drawing. While I am fascinated with the beauty and elegance of equine design, it is the sensitive spirit of the horse that invites exploration of more abstract, deeper meanings. As my work progresses I am interested in experimenting with unconventional materials and working on a larger scale. Master sculptors of the past such as Antoine-Louis Barye and Rembrandt Bugatti as well as contemporary artists Deborah Butterfield, George Carlson, and Dylan Lewis have influenced me to blend traditional and contemporary elements in a remix that is uniquely my own. The enduring form of the horse is the vehicle that connects my work to ancient history, modern life and on to a place in the future.
Revennaugh currently works out of her studio in Livingston, Montana and will be showing in galleries this year in Jackson Hole, WY; Santa Fe, NM; and Austin, TX. In addition, her work will be featured in the Ex Arte Equinus VI Book as well as in Art Horse Magazine.
