Plein Air Painters at Natl Elk Refuge Visitor Center May 13

A group of painters will use the backdrop of the National Elk Refuge as artistic inspiration on Tuesday, May 13, giving visitors an opportunity to watch and ask questions as the artists create their works.

The artists are part of the Teton Plein Air Painters, a group of artists who meet once a week from May – October in the Teton environs. Starting with two people during the summer of 2012, the group now has a communication list of over seventy. Typically, three to ten people are onsite to paint, referencing the landscape for motifs. Art mediums include oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pen and ink.

The group will spread out in the area of the visitor center, located at 532 N. Cache Street in Jackson. Weather permitting, likely locations will include the visitor center lawn, the covered upper deck of the facility, and the remote viewing deck across the lawn next to the wetlands area. Current visitor center hours are from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm, but visitors are welcome to stroll through the grounds after hours to enjoy the art session.

En plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is used to describe painting done in an outdoor setting. The artists paint natural light, using color to define form. Depending on the light and weather, plein air paintings are generally done in one session. Artists may add final touches to their work once back in the studio. For additional information on the Teton Plein Air Painters and Tuesday’s session, contact Bobbi Miller, Facilitator, at 307 / 543 2910.

We are thrilled to team with the Wyoming Business Council to feature a Wyoming First business every week on our blog! Wyoming First is a program that promotes Wyoming member businesses. Visit their website (click here) to learn more about this service — and if you are a Wyoming business who’s not a member, be sure to inquire about membership! There are many benefits!

This week we are featuring Maura Jacobsen Pottery of Cheyenne

Maura Jacobsen Cheyenne, WY 970-629-9478 maurajacobsen@yahoo.com www.maurajacobsen.com

Maura Jacobsen started her business in a two room cabin in Riverside, Wyoming after she graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1993. It has grown over the years to include her husband and three children, who run the shipping department. Maura’s pottery studio is located in Cheyenne where she produces pottery platters made out of vintage license plates.

Maura has lived in many small towns in Wyoming where she has promoted her love of art.  The business has grown over the years and she does demonstrations and classes for adults and children.  Maura is also on the Wyoming Arts Council Artist Roster.

There are two potter styles.  The style being produced the longest is all hand thrown and glazed stoneware for everyday use.  Fun patterns and sayings are a reflection of where Maura lives and the silly things her children say.  The second style was just started this last year; the vintage licenses plates. These become one-of-a-kind patchwork platters.  Maura receives license plates from around the county to be made into platters.  The love for the license plate platter had taken off.  Maura has found that a license plate holds fond memories and stories, and this product allows customers the opportunity to take the plate off the garage wall and share it with family members by having a functional piece of art made.

Custom orders are a large part of Maura’s business. Her products can be purchased through her website at www.maurajacobsen.com.  Maura’s pieces can be found at Wyoming Home in Cheyenne, Made Jackson Hole and at Wadoo in Old Town Fort Collins.  Check her web site for more locations as they are added. The prices range from $18 to $75.  

She is always looking to create a product people will love and something that brings a smile to their face when they see what has been created just for them.

This week we are featuring Riverstone Art of Cheyenne, WY

Diana Riverstone, Riverstone Art  Diana@riverstoneart.com   www.riverstoneart.com

Big Sky Trail

Diana has always loved art and creating beautiful things. She took art classes all though high school, winning awards for her serigraphs (silk screening process). Then careers happened and art got left behind.  Before retiring, Diana found an oil painting class through Cheyenne Parks and Recreation and got hooked on painting in her first class. Diana decided to take some art classes when she retired to see if she still had any talent. She switched to acrylics and water based mediums because they offer unlimited potential to create special effects in her work. Some very special paintings developed from simply wondering what else she could do with her materials and experimenting with them.

Diana creates original, realistic landscape paintings from wide plains panoramas to mountains, forests, deserts and caves. Her work comes in a variety of sizes and color palettes to suit any taste and decor. She also created a special Cave Series where the viewer feels as though they are standing in a cave looking outward.  Diana also paints on both sides of a piece of glass – the background on the back side and the foreground on the front.

 

Midnight Magic

The uniqueness of Diana’s work can include thin to very thick applications of pastes that create thick textures up to one inch above the canvas or “crack” in unique ways. She also use various paint mediums like sand, fibers, flakes and mica for interesting textures. These painting mediums create their own shadows for interesting and unusual effects. For subtle sparkle, sheen, and shifting color depending on your angle of view, Diana uses iridescent, metallic and interference paint and additives. Several paintings have won awards in various art shows. Prices depend on size and materials, and generally run from $75.00 to $500.00, plus appropriate taxes and shipping if needed.

Cougar Country 

Custom orders are welcomed; Diana loves to talk with people about content and color preferences.  She can be contacted by email at Diana@riverstoneart.comor through her website at www.riverstoneart.com .

Diana’s work can be found in the gallery and gift shop at the Cheyenne Artists’ Guild off Morrie Avenue in Holiday Park, Cheyenne. She also has two pieces at Emerald Foam Control Products off Camp Stool in Cheyenne.  Diana would love to have her paintings for sale in additional stores and galleries. Her work can also be seen on her website: www.riverstoneart.com .

  • Desert Windows ($350.00), very thick application of texture medium, acrylic paint, part of Cave Series
  • Silver and Gold ($200.00), painted on glass using acrylic, iridescence and metallic paints; texture is due to slightly thick paint layers

WYOMING FIRST: Polished Corners of the Temple Wall by Lea Schoenewald

We are thrilled to team with the Wyoming Business Council to feature a Wyoming First business every week on our blog! Wyoming First is a program that promotes Wyoming member businesses. Visit their website (click here) to learn more about this service — and if you are a Wyoming business who’s not a member, be sure to inquire about membership! There are many benefits!

This week we are featuring Polished Corners of the Temple Wall by Lea Schoenewald from Thermopolis, Wyoming

Author Lea Schoenewald, Thermopolis, Wyoming PO Box549 Thermopolis,WY 82443 www.polishedcorners.com

Lea Schoenewald was born and raised in Thermopolis.  She grew up hearing stories about Ivinson Hall, a boarding school for girls in Laramie, from her mother, Bette (DeBerry) Cavalli, who was born and raised in Laramie.  Lea’s mother didn’t attend Ivinson Hall, but she did attend the University of Wyoming’s Prep School in Laramie with the Ivinson Hall girls.  So did her mother’s sister, Gladys (DeBerry) Rees and their cousin, Marion (Keller) Meyers. The school was in existence from 1921-1957.  Edward Ivinson donated his beautiful home (known as the “Ivinson Mansion”) to the Episcopal Missionary District of Wyoming, to be used as a boarding school for Wyoming farm and ranch girls.  They lived in the mansion during the school year and walked up Ivinson Avenue every school day to attend Prep. The stories Lea most remember from her Mom, Gladys, and Marion were about how strict the rules were at Ivinson Hall and how the girls had to wear uniforms.  The principal from 1934-1952, Miss Whitehead, had a very strong influence on all of the girls; as did all of the Ivinson principals.

In 1993, Lea attended her mother’s 50th high school reunion with her.  Lea thinks that may have been the time she started thinking about writing a book about Ivinson Hall. In 1998, Lea decided to “jump in” and see what might happen.  The first person she spoke to about Ivinson Hall was Beverly MacNeel, Edward and Jane Ivinson’s great-granddaughter.  She received much of the information included in the introduction and chapter I of the book and was encouraged to pursue the project. Lea’s aunt Gladys lived in Laramie and knew so many people with ties to Ivinson Hall.  Gladys sent her to the Laramie Plains Museum, where Lea had total access to the Ivinson Hall, and the entire Laramie Plains Museum archive, plus wonderful encouragement and assistance. Dorothy (Holmes) “Spezie” Cleveland, an Ivinson Hall girl who lived in Laramie, got Lea in contact with several other Ivinson Hall girls.  She also had donated several pieces of Ivinson Hall memorabilia to the Laramie Plains Museum, including one of her Ivinson Hall handbooks.  It contained the words to the Ivinson Hall hymn, “Polished Corners of the Temple Wall”.  That’s when Lea knew she had found the title for the book.

Because Ivinson Hall was sponsored by the Episcopal Church, the St. Matthew’s Cathedral archive was a source of many pictures and accounts of Ivinson Hall, as well as copies of “The Wyoming Churchman” newsletters. Her mother had saved all of her Prep “Saddlebag” newspapers, which were a wealth of Prep and Ivinson Hall information; pictures of her mother and articles about her and her Ivinson Hall friends. The staff at the Laramie Daily Boomerang gave Lea full access to their archive. Lea compiled articles and photographs about Ivinson Hall and Prep that appeared in the Boomerang, the Republican, and the Daily Bulletin during Ivinson Hall’s existence. She also spent countless hours in the Chisum Special Collections Room at Coe Library, The American Heritage Center, the Albany County Library, and the Coe Media Center.  The articles and photographs are presented in the book exactly as they appeared in the papers. The staff at the University Lab School provided Lea with a DVD of all the Prep yearbooks from 1920 to 2007.  It was amazing to see how the Ivinson girls changed over the years—hairstyles, music they listened to, how they dressed, what was acceptable and unacceptable behavior, and how they saw the world in which they lived.Lea’s favorite part of this whole process was calling the women who attended Ivinson Hall, or their families and friends, and telling them about the book.  Each person shared their reminiscences, and whether brief or lengthy, each added much to what really became an historical tapestry.

In the summer of 2011, Lea retired from teaching.  She thought for all intents and purposes, she was done with the book, and set out to celebrate that accomplishment.  But then her dear friend Mary Mountain, Executive Director of the Laramie Plains Museum, suggested she include current events throughout the book. With many more weeks of research, Lea printed out a timeline of current events from “Wikepedia”, and asked her high school Civics teacher for his help.  They sat for hours at his kitchen table, as he helped her choose and verify the events to include.  He also had insights into the various events that Lea couldn’t possibly have gotten anywhere else. Many people have said the current events added such a relevant perspective to the history.  Several of the Ivinson Hall girls also commented that the current events helped bring back memories more vividly for them. Lea’s biggest hope is that the people who appear in the book, their families and friends, are pleased and they feel that their memories have been honored.  Lea hopes that the memory of Ivinson Hall is honored as well, how it came to be, and the amazing people who were associated with it over the years. Lea feels truly blessed to have had this opportunity.

There will be a book signing Saturday, Oct. 13th, in the University of Wyoming Union from 11-1.  The book is also available at the UW Bookstore, the Depot Gift Shop and State Museum Gift Shop in Cheyenne, the Laramie Plains Museum Gift Shop, Wind City Books and Blue Heron Books in Casper, the Little Snake River Museum in Savery, the Storyteller and Hot Springs County Museum and Cultural Center in Thermopolis, Dog-Eared Books in Afton, Whistle-Stop Book Store and the Wyoming State Pioneer Museum in Douglas, and at www.polishedcorners.com.

Patricia Frolander, Wyoming’s Poet Laureate for 2011-2013, said of this book:  “Impeccably researched, delightfully written, remarkably interesting. Don't miss an opportunity to come to know these women who have enriched the Wyoming landscape."

Lea’s current project is assisting Charlie Petersen of Laramie in writing an historical novel about the Big Boy locomotives coming to the West.  It will be called Full Steam Ahead.

“Baby Fox”, LuDel Deal Walter

CORRIDOR GALLERY IN CASPER WELCOME LuDEL DEAL WALTER 

Refuse – Original Art by LuDel Deal Walter

The Refuse of life remains.  We Refuse to look at it.  This work Re-fuses the discarded object with meaning. My work communicates the boundaries of where time passes into memory and life passes into death.  How does memory hold the past captive?  How does place tie into time and memory?  This body of work refuses the passage of time by freezing the process of decay — a stop-action of a very slow natural process.  Memory seems to work in a similar fashion; as we recall people and events from our memories, they are frozen at a particular time like stop-action movie stills or loops of a single scene.

I incorporate objects that are often ignored or overlooked to create meaning.  The carcasses and the refuse of our lives are more than simple objects; they connect to the time when life and purpose was contained there.  I am using recycled and found objects (hand-made paper, junk, bones, etc.) to represent the passage of time and the space between life and death.  I find that by using images of actual carcasses and garbage in combination with textured papers and found objects, I have a stronger connection to the work because I’m forced to consider the feelings of disgust, shame and ambivalence surrounding the objects.  This body of work refuses the inevitability of  loss of meaning and purpose. We no longer revere life enough to consider the process of dying; because we can’t embrace death, we can’t fully embrace life.  Every living thing has a quality that leaves the body at the time of death.  Every object has a quality of memory.  What is that liminal quality?  Where is it?  These pieces are intended to ask the viewer to consider the life and purpose that once inhabited these images. – LuDel Deal Walter

The Corridor Gallery proudly presents “Refuse”, a solo exhibit of Wyoming artist LuDel Deal Walter. LuDel is an accomplished artist that is following through with her first Corridor solo exhibit after winning “Best In Show” during a past Corridor call-for-entries show based upon the subject of religion. The public and press are invited to attend the opening reception of “Refuse” on Friday, March 30th at 7pm. The exhibit will show only through Sunday, April 1st. The Corridor Gallery appreciates your continued support for local and regional artwork.

ART IN WY: Trio’s New Exhibit

Trio Artists Take Flight in December Group Exhibition to Benefit Teton Raptor Center

Jackson, WY – Just in time for the holidays,Trio Fine Art will be hosting a show inspired by our fine feathered friends.  Entitled “Flight,” the show came about as a result of all four gallery artists’ affinity for birds.  The title reflects not only the subject of the exhibition but the artistic aspirations of the participants: Jennifer L. Hoffman, Lee Carlman Riddell, Kathryn Mapes Turner, and September Vhay.

The gallery will partner with the TetonRaptorCenter(www.tetonraptorcenter.org) for the exhibit; a percentage of all the sales from the exhibition will be donated to the center, and Roger Smith will be on hand at the reception to talk about the RaptorCenter’s activities.  One of the center’s resident birds will also be in attendance.  The show will open on December 8 with a reception from 5-8 PMand will hang through December 31.

From the Artists’ Perspective

Kathryn Mapes Turner, “Her Wingspan”; oil on linen, 24×24″

Kathryn Mapes Turner: “My passion for birds started at a very early age when my father, a trained ornithologist, was rehabilitating raptors in our backyard. In the 1970’s and early 1980’s, the Wyoming Game and Fish would send him bald and golden eagles that had been poisoned or shot by ranchers and it was miraculous to see these magnificent birds reclaim their health over a period of time and then be released in flight.  As a young girl, it gave me a unique opportunity to learn about these birds — study their form and behavior. In art, birds can represent so many things such as strength, lightness, grace, beauty.  I enjoy incorporating the expressive quality of birds in my imagery.”

Jennifer L. Hoffman, “December”; conte & charcoal on davey board, 8×10″

Jennifer L. Hoffman:  “From watching my grandfather building birdfeeders in his basement, to identifying birds at our family cabin, to hiking through the Hawai’ian rainforest in search of endangered native honeycreepers, birds have played an important role in my life for as long as I can remember.   I even met Lee Riddell at a “bird sit” with naturalist Bert Raynes many years back.  I am inspired by the grace, the gesture, the incredible strength and instinctual drive of birds.  I have sketched their forms as long as I’ve been drawing, and they occasionally make appearances in my landscapes.  I’m excited to put more focus on them for this show.  I’m also delighted by the opportunity to support theTetonRaptorCenter.  Not only do they do phenomenal work rehabilitating injured birds, but their dedication to education and community outreach is fantastic.  What a special place to have right here in our little valley.”

Lee Carlman Riddell, “Calliope Hummingbirds, August 2″; oil on linen, 8×6”

Lee Carlman Riddell: Lee Carlman Riddell’s love of birds came from her parents … her Dad planted the flowers that attracted the birds to their yard, and her Mom taught her to recognize the bird’s songs. Recently a Calliope hummingbird nested outside Lee’s studio window and she was able to draw and paint the mother and two chicks as they grew up. She is forever grateful for this time spent with the hummingbird family.  Lee is a long-time supporter of theTetonRaptorCenter. Years ago, when Roger Smith and Margaret Creel cared for injured raptors in their back yard, Lee and her husband Ed would make a contribution so they could buy frozen mice for the birds’ dinners. She is proud of Roger and Margaret and all those who helped make the official home for injured raptors a reality.

September Vhay, “Lavender Mist”; oil on linen, 7.5 x 12″

September Vhay:

“The very idea of birds is a symbol of the soul, representing a passage between the physical and the spiritual. I have had a life long love affair with them which began one summer at the age of fifteen while driving an old truck along a stretch of alfalfa fields.  A curious American Kestrel flew alongside the open drivers window for about fifty yards.  I was awestruck and hooked for life.”

Trio Fine Art is located at 545 N Cache St., across the street from the visitors’ center.  The gallery is open Thursday – Saturday from 12-6 during the run of the exhibition.  For additional information, please visit www.triofineart.com and the artists’ individual websites: www.jlhoffmanfineart.com, www.leeriddell.com, www.turnerfineart.com, and www.vhay.com.

What is “Bad” art? We all have our own ideas on what makes a piece of art suck worse than the next but we’ve put people to the test. The Corridor Gallery in Casper released a call for entries in August asking the public to submit bad art for a chance at a $500 prize for Worst In Show. Entries poured in and most made us sick. How do you quantify the amount of bad artwork that was submitted? We counted it. We have over 40 pieces of pathetic attemps at art ready to show. We’re happy, embarassed, a little saddened and generally sickened to display them for the October 22nd Bad Art Event at the Corridor Gallery.

The Corridor Gallery is excited to announce the one day event: “Bad Art”, a call for original submissions. The submitted original work was derrived from artists, friends, family, found, purchased at thrift stores, antique stores, garage sales. All works but the “Worst in Show” can be bid upon to either keep or destroy by checking a box on the silent auction sheet. Works with a winning bid of destruction will be destroyed by fire, explosion or weaponry by Corridor staff and a video will be made public of the acts. Attendants to the opening will be given raffle tickets with the purchase of a drink or can buy 2 tickets for $5. The raffle ticket will double as a write in vote for “Worst in Show”. The submitter of the winning “Worst in Show” piece will win a cash prize of $500 based upon public vote at the opening reception.

Event Details

Prize: $500 Cash for “Worst In Show”

Location: The Corridor Gallery, 120 E. 2nd St. Casper, WY 82601 Opening & Showing: ONE NIGHT ONLY! Saturday, October 22nd Doors Open: 7PM
