Bart Walker

Bart Walker's radiant plein air paintings are reminiscent of early California impressionist landscapes, alive with deft brushwork and soft nuances of light. Bart lives in Tetonia, Idaho but loves to explore the California coast and to paint its changing faces. Bart Walker, a native of Birmingham, Alabama, has been greatly influenced by his father, who worked in watercolor, and his older brother, an accomplished draughtsman and oil. Workshops with distinguished artists such as Matt Smith, Skip Whitcomb, Tim Lawson and others helped develop his talent.

"Living in Teton Valley Idaho," observes Walker "I always have beautiful places to paint. As an artist, I want to do still life’s, architectural paintings and figurative pieces, as well. Some artists are known for painting landscapes or figures well,” says Walker thoughtfully. "I want to paint all subjects well."

Bart Walker makes his home in Teton Valley, Idaho with his wife, Tracy. He paints in the plein air tradition and exhibits his work through out the country.

Claire Vitucci

Growing up rurally in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, Claire's childhood was primarily split between the gallus frames of Butte, MT and the mountain peaks of Teton Valley, ID. This nomadic lifestyle perpetuated a love for travel and an appreciation for different perspectives, logic, and culture. Claire graduated from The University of Montana, Missoula in 2002 with a B.F.A. in Photography and a B.A. in French. After testing the waters in Southeast Alaska for a few years, she has since moved back to the valley where she started and continues to actively persue the arts in photography and mixed-media with regional shows.

Cynthia Guild Stoetzer

After graduating with a BFA in painting from the California College of Arts in Crafts in 1988, Cynthia Guild Stoetzer set up a studio in Teton Valley. She has been living in the area ever since, moving only part time to get an MFA in sculpture from Utah State University. Stoetzer is a professional garden designer, but her studio work consists primarily of large-scale oil paintings, contrasted with very small pastels on paper, of uniquely western American landscapes. Most of the pastels are done on location, while the oils are done in the studio. Her work has been likened to color field painting and follows in the tradition of American painters such as Marsden Hartley, Georgia O'Keefe, Wolf Kahn ,and Russell Chatham. More of her work may be viewed at her studio by appointment, on her web page www.cgstoetzer.com, or at the Muse Gallery in Jackson Hole, online at jhmusegallery.com

Ginny Northcott

For me being an artist is exciting and fun.  My paintings are about distortion, shape and color.  Slightly distoring objects in my paintings and using unexpected or peculiar colors together is a curiously satisfying habit of mine.  If I am painting a chair, I want it to have personality -like you could talk to it!  I paint objects that people use, but I don’t paint the people using them. It is the simplicity of these objects that I am drawn to.  While I paint I strive to remain spontaneous by layering and adding new colors all the time.  I like the under paintings to show through because it results in colors and textures that are completely unplanned.  There is a feeling of balance and harmony that occurs when I know I have finished a painting.

Janet Reese

My art is constantly evolving due to workspace, materials, the seasons and current sources of inspiration. I work in varied mediums including ceramics, paper making multi-media, painting, photography, cement sculpture, fiber arts, chocolate painting, flower gardens, face and body painting. Handmade crafts for sale locally include candles, cards, jewelry and fleece hats. Creative expression for me is not production as much as constant learning and experimentation.

Jerry Kencke

I consider myself a “mid-road conservationist”, seeking to preserve and conserve with my camera, portraying often-fading life scenes & the natural beauty of my surroundings. I work in 35 mm & medium format, creating images using only natural light. I have captured the dusty excitement of local rodeos, life of Basque sheepherders, nature’s unexpected beauty in the lines, patterns & shadows of this rugged land, & the flowers that offset the harshness. I try to record the often fleeting essence of Nature’s drama that exists in those brief moments of “perfect light” & present the beauty of western life around us, helping all of us to see its truth before it is gone. I also do my own custom matting & hand-craft my frames for a one-of-a-kind presentation that makes the framing part of the art. Almost all of my finished & framed pieces are printed & matted with archival materials & U.V. protected glass.

Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Carol Burnnet, numerous major league sporting figures and over 60,000 people have contributed "smears" to my Fingersmear canvases. My clients include Pepsi, Johnson & Johnson, Mercedes Benz... When I paint traditionally my medium of choice is acrylic on canvas and my subject matter often reflects the human condition.

Liz Peet

The artwork of Liz Peet creates a domestic narrative by exploring cultural trends, standards, and taboos. In response, her work suggests unexpected juxtapositions for the viewer’s contemplation. Liz feels that hand blown glass holds a unique warmth and reveals a history of its making from a bubble of breath or the effect of a cool breeze. Her work reflects a human touch and personality. She is drawn to the subtle nuances and imperfections of the everyday through light, optics, color and lack of color. Utilizing mixed media, hot glass, neon, and fibers, her pieces exploit themes of women’s work, voyeurism, the accepted, and the unacceptable.

Liz Peet received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics, School of Art and Design. She has worked for the Pilchuck Glass School since 2001 and was recently nominated for the Saxe Award. Liz moved to Teton Valley, Idaho in 2006 because she enjoys horses, snow and mountains. She hosts weekly figure drawing sessions for the Teton Arts Council and continually strives to challenge her eye.

Sarah Lott

Sarah received her education in photography from St. Lawrence University, where she graduated with degrees in Fine Arts, Anthropology and African Studies, and from The Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana. Sarah believes that to look straight ahead is not to see.

One must look up, down, around, behind, below and through to truly view the world. Then you will begin to notice the patterns, reflections and simple beauty; which are revealed to those who take the time to see. The eye will reward you with a stimulation of mind and memory.

Polaroid manipulations begin with a transparency, also known as a slide, which is projected onto Polaroid film thru the use of a Daylab, a machine that acts as a miniature enlarger. The Polaroid print is then soaked in hot water to remove the top layer of the film known as the emulsion. This thin, film-like substance is then placed onto watercolor paper, where it can be manipulated to create the textured image. The result is a painterly image; each one is an original piece of art.
