2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

Dear Friends, As we gather to celebrate our shared appreciation of Western art and the heritage it so expressively documents, it is our pleasure to welcome you to the 2020 Night of Artists Exhibition and Art Sale. We can think of no better place to celebrate the beauty of Western art and the profound stories it brings to life than here at the Briscoe Western Art Museum, where our mission is to inspire and educate the public with engaging exhibitions, programs, and events reflective of the Western heritage we all share.

The eighty talented artists participating in this nineteenth annual exhibition and art sale have worked tirelessly to bring their vision of the West to life. We are delighted to showcase the fantastic results of their efforts, nearly 300 works that reflect years of experience, research, and study combined with their own unique styles of expression. Behind each piece, there is a story, and the Briscoe provides the perfect stage to spotlight those stories.

The Briscoe’s board of directors and staff are honored to share the love of Western art with you—the collectors, buyers, and art enthusiasts who are dedicated to celebrating our Western heritage. We hope you will agree that the work this year is truly magnificent. We look forward to a spirited weekend of shared art appreciation. From the Briscoe Bison Society’s Annual Collectors Summit to the Grand Exhibition Opening, our celebration of Western art is beyond compare.

Each year, we strive to improve upon every facet of the exhibition and the event. New this year is the Artists Awards Luncheon at which we will honor our artists’ talent. This year, artist Mary Ross Buchholz’s winning design was selected for the new artist awards that will premiere during this event. Additionally, we have added new cutting-edge technology and a high definition jumbo screen in the McNutt Sculpture Garden to improve the Friday night auction experience.

It is with heartfelt gratitude that we thank our Night of Artists Event Chairs, Marianne Malek and Missie Bowman, and the entire committee behind the nineteenth year of this remarkable event. Through their dedicated commitment, Night of Artists continues to flourish. This extraordinary opening weekend is the result of their hard work. Their efforts, paired with your continued outstanding support, have made Night of Artists, our signature fund-raising event, one of the premiere destinations for Western art collectors.

We are most grateful for the commitment, dedication, and generosity of our sponsors, board of directors, staff, the amazing committee behind this event, and most importantly, the incredible talent of our artists for helping us make the Night of Artists celebration truly spectacular and for their belief in our shared Western heritage and our mission. Without all of them and all of you, none of what we do to share the stories of the West would be possible.

THE WEST STARTS HERE AND WE WELCOME YOU! Michael Duchemin, Ph.D.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

Honoring the Briscoe Legacy Governor Dolph and Janey Briscoe envisioned a museum that would tell the stories of our Western heritage and the people who help that story come to life. A member of one of the great ranching families in Texas and a lifelong cattleman and hunter, Governor Briscoe helped tell the stories of the American West through his own experiences.

The governor passed his love of art and the land to his daughter, the late Janey Briscoe Marmion. Through her own means and her philanthropic work, the late Mrs. Marmion remains a fixture at the museum’s signature event, Night of Artists, and a supporter through the sponsorship of a gallery space named aaer her daughter, the late Kate Marmion.

The Briscoe Western Art Museum is proud to feature the Janey Briscoe Marmion Collection, now on view in the Kate Marmion Gallery. This collection of art is truly reflective of the Texas landscape and the stories that the governor and Mrs. Briscoe envisioned preserving.

To see more of the Briscoes’ extraordinary collection, visit the First State Bank of Uvalde.

Serving South Texas for over 112 years.

Terry Isaac, Western Proole, Acrylic on Board

In Memoriam of our friend Terry Isaac Internationally acclaimed wildlife artist, Terry Isaac was a xture at the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Night of Artists and was a regular participant from 2016-2019. A professional artist for thirty years, Isaac was known for his attention to detail, capturing the magical moments created by dramatic natural light, and the breathtaking landscapes of the Paciic Northwest.

MEMORIAL PAGE

Isaac began his love aaair with wildlife art in the place where he grew up, the Willamette Valley of Oregon. His passion for the Paciic Coast led him to make his home in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada. He traveled the world to capture images of his wild subjects, but his main artistic focus was on North American birds and mammals.

Since the mid-1980s, Isaac has made his love of wildlife and wild spaces the hallmark of his artistic career. Isaac found great success as both a commercial and ne artist, working on the Disney lm Dinosaur (2000), maintaining a working relationship with Ducks Unlimited, and has written an art instruction book that has sold out twice. Isaac’s work can be found in numerous museums and galleries, including Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Bennington Center for The Arts, American Airlines, First National Bank of South Africa and in many private and corporate collections around the world. Our condolences to his friends and family.

He will be missed. d “I draw my inspiration from observing nature, always on the lookout for “magical moments.” I feel incredibly blessed to be able to do something I have such a passion and love for.” - Terry Isaac

COLLECTORS SUMMIT

presented by the BRISCOE

BISON SOCIETY

Headin’ In or Headin’ Out? The Western Art Market in 2020 HEADIN’ IN

The first session will explore the changing nature of the Western art market as it relates to long-time collectors who perhaps are reaching their zenith. How has the art market changed over the years? As collectors start “headin’ in” from their journey, what should they expect as they begin to transfer or sell their collections?

HEADIN’ OUT

FRIDAY, MARCH 27

An art collection is an intentional accumulation of works centered on a theme. Finding a focus for a collection is seldom a rational decision. At first, collectors simply buy whatever they like, without giving much thought to it. This is a great way to explore their taste and interests, but after a while, a pattern begins to emerge. This session will explore the journey of “headin’ out” as novice buyers of Western art begin making the transition from buyers to collectors.

Panelists

9:30 – 11:00am The Westin on the Riverwalk in the Camino Real Theater 420 W. Market Street, San Antonio, TX 78205

WILLIAM ALTHER William (Bill) Alther’s work conveys his regard for the natural world. He grew up in West Texas, and his abiding respect and fondness for all forms of life have only increased with time.

He acquired a degree in wildlife biology from Texas A&M University and eventually worked in the zoology department at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science for thirteen years.

Throughout his life, he has been an active artist, drawing and painting from an early age. During his first ten years after college, his artistic endeavors were focused on wood sculpture. In his early thirties, he jumped back into two-dimensional work, spending the next few years painting in his free time and further developing his abilities. In 2004, he began painting full-time. Alther participates in several prominent national shows each year and is associated with several established and respected galleries. His most recent notable honor came in 2018 when he received the Red Smith Artist’s Choice Award at the Western Visions Show and Sale at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson, Wyoming. He is a member of the Northwest Rendezvous Group, Society of Animal Artists, and Oil Painters of America. His work is in the permanent collection of the Woodson Art Museum and many private collections. Alther lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife, Debbie.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

SUZANNE BAKER The thirty years Suzanne Baker spent living and working with her husband and children on ranches in California and Nevada and as a horse packer and guide in the High Sierra of California have given her a good knowledge of horses and ranch life. These experiences, along with her avid love of photography, drive her to document the many places, people, and situations of ranch life she has experienced.

She grew up among ranchers, adventurers, and artists in the foothills outside Sequoia National Park in California. The community, her very talented mother, and numerous college art courses were a big part of her art education and love of art.

Baker’s work has appeared in El Prado Galleries in Sedona, Arizona, Legacy Gallery, and Sage Creek Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and in publications such as Southwest Art, Art of the West, Rocky Mountain Rider, Range Magazine, Cowboys and Indians, Western Horseman, Western Traditions: Contemporary Artists of the American West by Michael Duty and Suzanne Deats, and Art of the American West

by Caroline Linscott and Julie Christianen-Dull.

She has participated in Night of Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum and the first Cowgirl Up! at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona.

GERALD BALCIAR Focusing on animals as subject matter, Gerald Balciar works in both bronze and stone. He prefers to portray the gentle side of nature in his sculptures. His repertoire of work ranges from small-scale creations to monumental installations. For reference, he works from his extensive library of wildlife material, which includes photos, magazine clippings, books, and numerous study casts and measurements.

He also uses live models as an invaluable aid in his sculptures.

Balciar is involved in the creative process of bronze making from beginning to end. He works his original sculpture in wax or clay and then makes his own molds and sends a finished wax to the foundry. Once the bronze is cast at the foundry, he does the welding and metal chasing and then applies the patina andfinishing touches.

His largest bronze sculpture to date is a 20-foot bronze moose, Centennial, which was installed in Mooseheart, Illinois, to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the Loyal Order of Moose in 1988. His largest marble carving is an 18-foot, 16,000 pound cougar, Canyon Princess, which was carved from a single piece of marble and is installed at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. The marble is Colorado Yule marble that is quarried at 10,500 feet altitude near Aspen, Colorado.

GREG BEECHMAN After a forty-two year career of painting wildlife art, Greg Beecham is no less passionate about learning and growing as an artist than he was on that first full-time day in 1978.

Forced to ponder life and work as he lay in a hospital bed for three days in 2013, he asked himself, “Who am I? What am I trying to say as an artist, and how do I go about saying it?” He concluded that he must take the tools of his trade—color, value, texture, edges, drawing, and composition—and strive toward unity in the context of simplicity and beauty.

Beecham considers this a journey. A few paintings have come close to matching his vision, and he is thankful to be a blessing to people with his work. But he presses on, hoping to one day match vision and reality.

Beecham’s work is included in permanent collections of the Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming; the James Museum of Western and Wildlife Art, St. Petersburg, Florida; the Briscoe Western Art Museum; and the Montana Historical Society, Helena. He is a six time winner of the Prix de West wildlife art award at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, and has received the Artist’s Choice and Collector’s Choice Awards at the Night of Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum.

ERIC BOWMAN Eric Bowman was born in Pasadena and grew up in Orange County, California. Essentially a self-taught artist, he had a knack for drawing as far back as he can remember. Always the school artist throughout his formative years, he launched into the world of freelance illustration in the late 1980s. A chance meeting with two prominent California painters in 1998 changed Bowman’s world view of art and set him on a new journey into fine art painting.

Since that time, Bowman has developed a unique style that continues to evolve.

He derives inspiration from sources both contemporary and historic that reflect the high standard of art from a century ago.

Bowman has exhibited in some of the country’s most prestigious galleries and museums, including the Autry Museum of the American West, the Briscoe Western Art Museum, the Gilcrease Museum, the Kaiping Art Museum in Jiangmen, China, the Academy Art Museum, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, and the Salmagundi Club in New York City.

Bowman has received numerous awards and recognitions. His paintings reside in private and corporate collections in the U.S., England, Australia, China, Canada, and Mexico.

Bowman has also been profiled in Southwest Art, Art of the West, Western Art Collector, International Artist, Pratique Des Arts (France), Fine Art Connoisseur, and PleinAir. Eric Bowman is a Signature Member of the California Art Club and the American Impressionist Society. He resides with his wife and daughter in northwest Oregon.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

MARY ROSS BUCHHOLZ For twenty-two years, art has been Mary Ross Buchholz’s devotion. Buchholz and her husband live and ranch in rural west Texas near the town of Eldorado. Coming from a pioneering ranching family, she offers a glimpse of her daily ranch life through her paintings, sculptures, and the most primitive of mediums, charcoal and graphite. Buchholz strives to capture the authenticity of their way of life by gathering material from the ranch. As a result, each piece she creates is a testament to her family’s ranching traditions.

Buchholz relishes creating the portrait, whether the subject is an animal or person. She enjoys subtly rendering the details, the different textures, and the individual characteristics of her subjects. It has been said that her drawings seem timeless and impart a simplicity without distractions. She strives to captivate the viewer both up close and from a distance.

“The eyes are my favorite part of an animal. I feel like that’s where you’re able to see the life; as people say, the eye captures the soul of the horse. I want my pieces to not only look real, but feel real. I’m always mindful of the subject’s personality and hope each piece is portrayed with honesty and simplicity. I am blessed that what I enjoy drawing is right here, out my backdoor.”

Buchholz is an award-winning artist who participates in many museum shows across the country. She is represented by InSight Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas, and Montana Trails Gallery in Bozeman, Montana.

NANCY BUSH Nancy Bush works in layers of paint, letting each layer dry between applications. This build-up of layers and glazes increases the light and luminosity of the painting, thus suggesting mood and moments of fleeting atmospheric dialogue “I strive for my paintings to have a universal appeal and not just a particular region. I feel it is about human emotions in time and space represented by light, darkness, warmth, cool, wet, dry, etc. These elements should evoke a very human response of how one feels upon viewing my work. If they connect that way, then I feel my work is validated.”

“My paintings are a visual language with a message brought to life on canvas using my own personal emotions and experiences.

Hopefully, they convey more than just technical expertise, it must contain a part of my soul, spirit and personal reflection of my intention.”

Bush’s work has been featured in numerous art publications, including Art of the West, Southwest Art, Cowboys and Indians, American Art Collector, American Artist, and Western Art Collector.

Bush has participated in the Night of Artists Exhibition and Sale and other invitational shows across the county, including the National Cowboy & Heritage Museum’s Small Works, Great Wonders show in Oklahoma City, American Art Invitational Small Gems show in Denver, and Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis

SHAWN CAMERON From a young age, Shawn Cameron absorbed the talk of cattle and weather, the smell of horse sweat and leather, the sound of hooves before dawn, the weariness of long days, and the sense of purpose of life. She continues to record and preserve ranch life as it unfolds with paint and canvas. God gave her a gift of observation to capture the beauty of fleeting moments that the viewer relives.

Cameron has been a professional artist for nearly three decades. Her paintings have won numerous awards, and she has participated in major exhibitions and museum shows, but her primary goal remains to improve the quality of her work and share a life few have experienced.

Her works have been shown in the Prix de West and Small Works, Great Wonders exhibitions and sales at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City; Cowgirl Up! at the Desert Caballeros Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona; American Miniatures at Settlers West Gallery and Contemporary Western Art Show at the Mountain Oyster Club, both in Tucson, Arizona; The Russell at the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana; and Master Works of the West at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Trailside Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and McLarry Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, represent her work. She and her husband Dean reside in central Arizona, where she maintains a studio near their home.

CAROLINE KORBELL CARRINGTON Caroline Korbell Carrington grew up in a family that cherishes and values the land and wildlife of Texas. She spent many of her formative years in the Texas Hill Country, where she began to create works of art. Over time, art became a passion that has led to her successful career as a landscape painter.

"I am so privileged to be able to not only enjoy the outdoors and beautiful scenery found in the Southwest, but I also get to immerse myself in the images by capturing them on canvas."

Caroline Korbell Carrington graduated from Texas Christian University in 1992 with a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting.

She then spent time in New Mexico working alongside prominent landscape painters, including the late David Barbero. Over the years, she has experimented with many types of media, the basis of which is oil on canvas.

She continues to paint landscape scenes from the Western United States with a focus on Texas.

Caroline Korbell Carrington works alongside her husband, sculptor William Carrington, in their home studio. They have two children: daughter McLean, who is attending Savannah College of Art and Design, and a son, Claiborne, who is attending the Winston School in San Antonio, Texas.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

WILLIAM CARRINGTON William Carrington received a bachelor of fine arts degree from Southwest Texas State University in 1989. He worked for several years as a production artist at Giles Design Studio in San Antonio, where he later did freelance production work for various studios. William Carrington decided to make a career change and returned to school. He attended Trinity University, where he earned a master of arts in teaching degree. He went on to teach elementary education, primarily fourth and fifth grades, for thirteen years. He then taught elementary art at a private school in San Antonio for another three years. After much contemplation and long conversations with his artist wife Caroline Korbell Carrington, he decided to pursue sculpture full time.

He currently is entering the third year in this endeavor and has realized that sculpting is what he was meant to do.

William Carrington is an avid lifelong outdoorsman. Coming from a ranching family, he spent a great deal of time hunting and fishing. Over the years, he has gained in-depth knowledge of wildlife and wildlife behavior. In his work, he captures the gestural qualities of animals. William Carrington also spent years in the outdoors, cleaning and butchering game.

He states, “By butchering game, one gains a keen knowledge of the animal’s physical characteristics and muscular structure.” He puts this knowledge into his work, striving to depict the animal’s movement from within. He currently works out of his studio at home in San Antonio, Texas.

CLIFF CAVIN Cliff Cavin, a native of San Antonio, Texas, is a landscape artist who has been painting professionally for over forty years. His focus is on views of the American West, especially Texas and New Mexico. He has well over fifty professional exhibits to his credit, most recently a one-man show at the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas, that included forty-five pieces. He has also participated in shows such as the Briscoe Western Art Museum's Night of Artists Sale and Exhibition, The Russell at the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana, the American Plains Artists Art Show, and the Oil Painters of America National Exhibition. He has had exhibitions at the Nave Museum in Victoria, Texas, the Harlingen Public Library in Harlingen, Texas, and the Southwest School of Art and San Antonio Art League, both in San Antonio, Texas.

His paintings have won numerous awards and have been collected both nationally and internationally in private and corporate collections, including Valero Oil, M. D. Anderson Hospital, Jefferson State Bank, Baylor Scott & White Health, and Cibolo Creek Ranch.

BRUCE CHEEVER Interested in art as a child, Bruce Cheever embarked on a career as a fine artist after spending many years as an illustrator. It was during those years that he discovered his affinity for tonalism, luminism, and realism.

Cheever’s atmospheric and bucolic landscapes are suggestive of the Renaissance era. His passion for the landscape is driven by his never-ending search for beauty.

Cheever’s studio paintings are shaped by the inspiration he gathers from his travels. Whether painting a rural scene in the American West or a pastoral European landscape, he paints in a style with a uniqueness of its own. Born in 1958, this Utah artist credits his education at Brigham Young University and a professional career as an illustrator as prime training ground in both observation and discipline.

Cheever has had the opportunity to travel to many parts of the world to capture the beauty of the landscape in his paintings. His love of the Western American landscape, figurative work, and still life has been a hallmark of his success.

TIM CHERRY Tim Cherry started over twenty years ago on a path to discover his expression in art as it is related to his first love, wildlife. His work depicts wildlife through the simplest lines, shapes, and designs that he can create without losing representation, gesture, or attitude. He pushes the limits of anatomical accuracies to emphasize a stronger design.

He finds himself interpreting representational shapes and pushing them to boundaries of near abstraction.

He casts primarily in bronze, but he feels his simplest and sometimes strongest designs are achieved when he is sculpting in high-polish stainless steel and carving stone. His lines and shapes are kept to a minimum to draw in the viewer, causing him or her to become more involved in interpreting his work. He finds this connection very inspiring.

Cherry has exhibited his artwork in nationally known galleries, shows, and exhibitions across the United States and Canada, winning many prestigious awards. The University of Virginia’s Children’s Hospital Battle Building Park will soon be adding Cherry’s bronze monument Rabbit Reach. His Whole Hog and Bear Ball are installed at Arkansas Children’s Hospital in Little Rock. River Mates is in the permanent collection at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming, and Roundbottomus Hippopotamus is installed in the Little Rock Children’s Park.

Cherry was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and raised in Nelson and Prince George, British Columbia. He now lives in Branson, Missouri, with his wife, Linda, and daughter, Amber.

MICHAEL COLEMAN Michael Coleman was born and raised in Provo, Utah, and spent his boyhood hunting, fishing, and trapping throughout the Rocky Mountains, often taking a sketchbook with him. His paintings are rich in detail and muted in tone, true to the remote landscapes he chooses to illustrate. He renders the Indian encampments, wildlife, and hunting subjects in these magnificent areas to give the viewer a sense of gazing on the past.

Michael Coleman quickly became a prominent Southwestern artist when in 1978, at the age of 32, he was given his first retrospective at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming.

He exhibited at the National Academy of Western Art and Kennedy Galleries in New York.

In 1999, he won the Prix de West Award at the National Cowboy Hall of Fame for his bronze moose, September, which has since been added to the museum’s permanent collection.

His artwork can be found at the Legacy Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Scottsdale, Arizona; Owings Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico; and J. N. Bartfields Gallery in New York. A book about his work, Under Eagles’ Wings: The Art of Michael Coleman, was published in 2009.

NICHOLAS COLEMAN Nicholas Coleman was born in Provo, Utah, in 1978. Brought up in an artistic home, he has been painting and drawing for as long as he can remember. He has found much of his inspiration in his travels across North America, Canada, Europe, and Africa. Hunting and fishing along the way, he has often explored hidden streams and valleys looking for signs of wildlife. He gained an appreciation for the subtle details hidden in plain sight. He wants to “preserve the heritage of the American West.”

Nicholas Coleman uses a traditional academic approach in his painting. Never formally trained, he looks to the masters of old to inspire and guide his career. His work definitely has a feel of realism as he strives to make each painting better than the next.

A certain amount of spontaneity and a slightly impressionistic feel to his paintings let the viewer participate in the work. Nicholas Coleman endeavors to create a connection between his paintings and the observer by invoking a mood that the viewer can walk into.

He says, “The work I am striving to produce is a kind of preservation. The West has always fascinated me. So many stories to tell!”

TODD CONNOR A native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Todd Connor has lived and painted in Montana for most of his professional career. His love of the outdoors grew from a childhood spent camping, hunting, and fishing. At the age of twelve, he started painting in pastels and oils. His subject matter ranged from landscapes to fish, wildlife, and Western themes.

After high school, Connor joined the Navy, serving as a Navy SEAL in Coronado, California, and overseas. After his discharge, he traveled the country, visiting historical sites and national parks, where his love of history and the outdoors came together with his desire to pick up the paintbrush once again.

Connor received a bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration from the acclaimed Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, in 1997. After graduation, he worked as a colorboard painter for the Universal Studios Japan theme park project. In 1999, Connor moved to Montana, painting full time, where he has met with much success. A near sell-out show of his classic Western and pioneer era paintings in Bozeman in 2000 set his career in motion, and he has never looked back.

Connor’s classic Western paintings are featured annually in the The Russell at the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana, where he is a member of the prestigious Russell Skull Society of Artists. His work has a prominent place in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody, Wyoming, and in many private collections.

BRENT COTTON Brent Cotton is an award-winning, nationally recognized artist who lives in the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana. He prefers to paint in the tonalist/luminist style made popular in the late 1800s, seeking to create works that are moodevoking and have a timeless quality.

His work can be found in many private and corporate collections throughout the country.

An avid outdoorsman, Cotton can often be found standing in one of the local rivers with a fly rod in his hand or at the oars of his drift boat. The close proximity to some amazing blue-ribbon trout streams is one of the many reasons he and his family make their home in the Bitterroot Valley. This passion has led Cotton to focus on sporting art, particularly fly-fishing as a common theme in his work.

He is the recipient of the 2018 Prix de WestNational Cowboy Museum-Wilson Hurley Award for best Landscape; 2019 Quest for the West-Eiteljorg Western Art Museum-Victor Higgins Award for best body of work; 2018 Prix de West-National Cowboy Museum-Wilson Hurley Award for best Landscape; 2019 Quest for the West-Eiteljorg Western Art MuseumVictor Higgins Award for best body of work.

He is represented by Trailside Gallery, Jackson Hole, WY; Huey’s Fine Art, Santa Fe, NM; Mockingbird Gallery, Bend, OR and Samarah Fine Art, Whitefish, MT.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

MICK DOELLINGER Mick Doellinger’s entire life has been spent working with animals in some capacity, and this lifelong accumulation of hands-on knowledge has given him unique insights into the anatomy, movements, and behavior of his subjects. He believes his time in the field studying his subjects and environments they occupy is critical to his creative process.

“For me, it’s less about creating a perfect replica of the animal and more about sculpting a narrative or moment in time.”

“My earlier work was much more literal, but over time, I’ve preferred not overworking the clay. Because of this looser style, collectors of my work will continue to notice something they hadn’t seen before, even if it’s just a partial fingerprint or smudge. These slight ‘imperfections’ are a reminder of the hands-on sculpting process, kept frozen in the finished bronze.”

Doellinger is an elected member of both the National Sculpture Society and the Society of Animal Artists. His work can be seen in museums, galleries, and private collections around the world, as well as appearing in magazines such as Western Art & Architecture, Sporting Classics, Art of the West, Fine Art Connoisseur, and Western Art Collector.

JOHN DEMOTT To experience a John DeMott painting is to truly experience part of the great American frontier. An outdoorsman and storyteller of the American West, DeMott transcends the cliché of the Western artist.

Raised on Southern California horse ranches, he has worked and lived the life of his artistic subjects and can speak the language of his experience. DeMott’s art involves countless hours of research. Through his study of tools, wardrobe, accoutrements, and history, he is able to capture detail and authenticity in his paintings. Whether it is the Plains Indians, a trapper, cowboys, a grizzly bear in the wilderness, or simply the beautiful Southwestern landscape, DeMott can make the viewer keenly aware of time and place.

“As a storyteller of the American frontier, Western art has been an important part of my life, and I am proud to be involved in the preservation of our great heritage,” he says.

His work has been published in Art of the West, Art-Talk, Southwest Art, Sporting Classics, and U.S. Civil War Art. He lives with his wife Cindy and their family on their horse ranch in Loveland, Colorado.

MIKEL DONAHUE An award-winning member of the Cowboy Artists of America, artist Mikel Donahue is best known for his impeccable depictions of cowboy life. His drawings and paintings portray ranchers and their livestock during the day-to-day ritual of sunup to sundown work on the ranch. What may seem like mundane chores is translated into moments of meaning and reflection. Fascinated both by life on the ranch and the iconic art by the likes of Charlie Russell and Frederic Remington, Donahue has become a perfect amalgam of his influences.

In May 2017, Donohue was inducted into the Will Rogers High School Hall of Fame, an honor that includes musicians Leon Russell, David Gates, and Elvin Bishop and designers Paul Davis and Joe Johnston. Donahue’s numerous awards include the John Steven Jones Purchase Award from the Bosque Art Classic at the Bosque Arts Center in Clifton, Texas, the Academy of Western Artists’ Will Rogers Award for Artist of the Year, and the prestigious Premier Platinum Award and the William E. Weiss Purchase Award at the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale in Cody, Wyoming. He has shown in the Prix de West at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.

His work hangs in many museums, galleries, and private collections throughout the country and has been featured in Art of the West, American Art Collector, Southwest Art, Western Horseman, American Cowboy, America’s Horse, and The American Quarter Horse Racing Journal.

BARRY EISENACH Barry Eisenach began drawing at an early age, and after twenty-three years as an illustrator and graphic designer, he followed his lifelong desire to paint and sculpt. Having grown up in the West, he was naturally drawn to portraying the lives and history of the indigenous peoples and explorers of this region. Eisenach feels it is a privilege to stand on the shoulders of the Western artists who have come before him. He strives to make each new piece a little better than the previous one.

He was elected to membership in the Northwest Rendezvous Group in 2003, is a Fellow of the National Sculpture Society, and has been honored with several awards from each group.

Eisenach’s work is included in numerous public, private, and museum collections.

TERESA ELLIOTT Teresa Elliott is an award-winning artist living and working in Texas. She holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Kansas and has received numerous awards from organizations such as the Briscoe Western Art Museum; the Portrait Society of America, Tallahassee, Florida; the Art Renewal Center, Port Reading, New Jersey; and the Coors Western Art Show at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado. She has exhibited at the Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio; MEAM European Museum of Modern Art, Barcelona, Spain; the Salmagundi Club in New York City; and the Beijing World Art Museum in China.

DEBORAH COPENHAVER FELLOWS

LUKE FRAZIER

Deborah Fellows received her bachelor of fine arts degree from Fort Wright College of the Holy Names after having studied in Italy. In the postVietnam era, she won competitions to create the Inland Northwest Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Montana State Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Washington State Korean Veterans Memorial.

At the same time, she created monuments for Boy Scouts of America, Bing Crosby, Adolf Coors, James Irvine, and Henry Kaiser.

Luke Frazier grew up in a large family of brothers who loved hunting and fishing in the mountains of northern Utah. His early forays into nature instilled a kinship with the wildlife and a passion for the outdoors. As a child, he spent hours scribbling, sketching, and sculpting wildlife. Later, his formal art training took place at Utah State University, where he earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting and a master of fine arts degree in illustration.

In 2015, the state of Arizona commissioned her to create a monument of Barry Goldwater for Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. In 2017, she completed a monument of Jim Bowie for San Antonio, Texas.

Every year, Frazier travels from Alaska to Africa, painting and photographing wildlife in their natural environments. “I’m always excited for a new adventure, seeking new country and searching for animals in their prime—hoping to capture the nuances of the outdoor and sporting life and the overall emotional power of a scene.”

His passion for the outdoors, fly-fishing, and hunting is apparent in his work.

In 2008, the National Sculpture Society elected Fellows as a lifetime member. Her art has won numerous best of show awards at major art shows. In 2009, she was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth Texas, an honor reflecting her past of being raised on a ranch and sculpting the Western world she knows and loves.

Galleries representing Fellows’ work include Trailside Americana Galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Jackson, Wyoming; Medicine Man Gallery in Tucson, Arizona; Big Horn Gallery in Cody, Wyoming, and Tubac, Arizona; Wind River Gallery in Aspen, Colorado; and Broadmoor Gallery in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

His work has been exhibited in Africa, New Zealand, and throughout the United States in one-man shows and major art exhibitions hosted by museums such as the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming; the Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles; the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City; the Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, Oklahoma; and the C. M. Russell Museum, Great Falls, Montana.

RAGAN GENNUSA

MARTIN GRELLE

Ragan Gennusa lives in the Texas Hill Country near Dripping Springs. A wildlife and Western painter, he has worked by commission for several years, and his paintings hang in private and corporate collections nationwide.

Born and raised in Clifton, Texas, Martin Grelle lives with his wife Joyce on a ranch a few miles from town. His studio sits in the Meridian Creek Valley, surrounded by the hills of Bosque County, just a short distance from his home.

Gennusa is well known for his Texas longhorn paintings, some of which have been special projects for the University of Texas. Others adorn private and corporate collections, including the King Ranch, the Texas Longhorn Breeders Association of America, and the permanent collection of the Briscoe Western Art Museum. Because of the longhorns historical contribution, especially to the state of Texas, Ragan has chosen to honor this incredible animal in much of his work.

Grelle began painting when he was young.

Mentored by James Boren, Grelle had his first one-man show at a local gallery within a year of graduating from high school. In the years since, he has had over thirty one-man exhibitions.

The Texas State Legislature selected Gennusa as the Texas State Artist in 1985–1986. In 2005, he was the recipient of the Star of Texas Award from the Gillespie County Historical Society.

The next year, he received the Ben Sheppard, Jr., Award from the Texas Historical Foundation for his outstanding achievement in historic preservation. He won the Briscoe Museum Purchase Award in Night of Artists in 2016.

144

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

Grelle was invited into membership with the Cowboy Artists of America in 1995. He participated in the first Prix de West Invitational at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, and since has won both the Prix de West Purchase Award and the Nona Jean Hulsey Rumsey Buyers’ Choice Award twice. He has won the Cowboy Artists’ Buyers’ Choice Award multiple times, as well as the Silver Award for Water Solubles, Silver Award for Oil, and Gold Award for Drawing. He was awarded the Legacy Award by the Briscoe Western Art Museum, the Spirit of the West Award by the San Dimas Festival of Arts, and the 2020 Booth Museum’s Artist of Excellence Award. Grelle has been featured in Art of the West, Western Art Collector Magazines, Southwest Art, Western Art & Architecture, and True West’s 2011 Best of the West Source Book.

BRIAN GRIMM Brian Grimm paints from the heart of a true outdoorsman. He translates his experiences in nature using oil on board to provide a firm surface. The natural impression of a wildlife scene is his goal. His sensitive uses of light, color, texture, and painterly brushwork are hallmarks that resonate with his collectors.

Grimm makes frequent trips to study, photograph, and sketch the animals he paints.

Plein air landscape studies are crucial to the honesty and air of his work.

Born and raised in central Texas, Grimm had a pencil and brush in his hand at an early age. A fortuitous introduction at age sixteen to artist Ken Carlson led to a mentorship that had a profound influence on his choice of subjects.

He earned a commercial art degree from Austin Community College in 1992 and worked for seven years as a graphic designer in Austin before turning to his true calling as a fine art painter of wildlife.

Grimm is represented by InSight Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas, and Legacy Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming, and Scottsdale, Arizona.

He has been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Art & Architecture, and Western Art Collector magazines. Grimm participates in shows at galleries and museums across the country. In 2011, he was honored to exhibit in the exhibition Wild West: Beauty and the Beast at the Rockwell Museum in Corning, New York, alongside the works of Ken Carlson and Carl Rungius.

ENRIQUE GUERRA After graduating from Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut, Enrique Guerra studied with Robert Lougheed and Tom Lovell in New Mexico. Lougheed is the artist Guerra admires most because of his ability to transform an insignificant subject into a truly brilliant work of art. Guerra works in both oil and bronze.

Most of his paintings depict the vast desert and brushlands of northern Mexico and south Texas. He enjoys painting street scenes in semi-abandoned towns or capturing images of farmers with their livestock as they till their land. Because he has spent the greater part of his life in these very surroundings, this is the subject matter that continues to captivate and shape his work.

Guerra lives on his family’s cattle ranch near McAllen, Texas. His work is featured annually at the Night of the Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum.

In 2016, Guerra installed a life-size sculpture titled The Vaquero in the sculpture garden of the Briscoe Western Art Museum. The commissioned work depicts an early Spanish settler driving two longhorn cows that are yoked together with a rope. Guerra’s research revealed the specific way in which ropes with wooden bobbins were used to secure wild cattle as they were driven to a new destination. The cattle were further deterred from escape by braiding their tails together, as depicted in this early Texas ranch scene.

Guerra is currently working on another commission of a Texas hero.

ABIGAIL GUTTING Abigail Gutting paints to portray the culture and wildlife of the American West. Her early training began when she was a young child and her artist mother, Susan Gutting, who trained at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, allowed Abigail to work alongside her in the studio. She has also studied at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, Washington, under Barbara Benedetti-Newton, Glacier National Park under Phil Starke, and the Scottsdale Artists’ School under artists Ray Roberts, Bruce Greene, and Greg Beecham. In 2013, she was named one of Southwest Art magazine’s “21 under 31 Young Artists to Watch.”

While Abigail Gutting inherited her love of art from her mom, her love of animals and the American West was fostered by the time she spent working with her veterinarian father in her teens and early twenties. The memories of those experiences are rich and contribute to Gutting’s vision for her art. She looks forward to a lifetime of growth and opportunity as an artist.

Abigail Gutting currently lives in the beautiful mountains of northern Idaho. Her work is represented by Coeur d’Alene Galleries in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Dick Idol Gallery in Whitefish, Montana; Bozeman Trail Gallery in Bozeman, Montana; and McLarry Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

GEORGE HALLMARK George Hallmark’s creative career has spanned nearly five decades as he progressed from draftsman to commercial artist to renowned oil painter. His subject matter is primarily architectural, focusing on structures most often found in Mexico or along the California coast. Known for his precise architectural realism, he gives each of his compositions of missions, churches, cantinas, and other structures an infusion of layers of light and elements of the natural world.

His brushstrokes deftly capture the quiet moments of everyday life, offering a glimpse into exquisitely calm settings and beautiful surroundings.

His notable awards include the 2019 Haley Memorial Library, Retrospective and Sale; the 2019 Harrison Eiteljorg Purchase Award and 2010 Artist of Distinction Award at Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Indianapolis; the 2017 Frederic Remington Painting Award at the Prix de West at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City; the 2011 Silver Medal for Oil Painting at The West at the Phoenix Art Museum; and the 2010 Western Art and Architecture Publishers’ Award at the Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles, California.

In 2011, the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art organized the exhibition Sol y Sombra: The Paintings of George Hallmark. In 2010, Hallmark’s work was featured in the book Texas Traditions.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

SHERRY HARRINGTON Sherry Harrington, a native Texan living in central Texas, specializes in oil paintings of Native American women and children.

Harrington travels each year to pose her models in their traditional clothing. She has been visiting families on the Navajo Nation reservation and the Plains Native Americans in other Western states for the past twenty years.

Collecting traditional clothing and accessories and spending time with these families have brought her very special friendships. Painting children who have grown up, attending some of their weddings, and meeting their own children have been humbling. Rendering the striking features of the different Native peoples and learning more about their history and culture have long been her passions.

Harrington also very much enjoys the calls for commissioned portraits of government and corporate officials.

WILLIAM HASKELL William Haskell aims to create something that is uniquely his own. His work is based on the natural abstraction he sees around him as well as places he has experienced and the emotions he has felt. He also wants his paintings to reflect the vibrant colors and the energy of the West. They are both fiction and reality. He blends the angles of cubism and modernism with the sensuous flowing forms of regionalism and surrealism to form a cohesive painting that gives viewers their own experiences and stories. His work consists of many symbolic elements such as the monsoon rains that he views as optimism or tornados that represent the changes that occur every day in our lives. His small houses not only represent our human footprints, but also are contrasted with the power and grandeur of nature. Haskell wants the viewer to enjoy the energetic movement of each painting.

Her past paintings have been chosen for cover art and featured in several children’s books, including Native American Foods of the North American Indian, Native American Tribes, and Life in a Plain Camp. Harrington has been featured in other articles in national art magazines including Art of the West, Western Art Collector, Southwest Art, and Cowboys and Indians magazines. Harrington is represented

by Big Horn Galleries in Cody, Wyoming, and Tubac, Arizona.

BRYAN HAYNES Historical figures, Native Americans, and local characters inhabit the sweeping views of Bryan Haynes’ New Regionalist paintings. The valleys and mesas, bends and curves of the New Mexico landscape seem to shape the artist’s inspirations.

Matthew Hillier was born and brought up on the south coast of England. After attending art college in Wales, where he studied wildlife illustration, he spent many years as an illustrator of books and magazines before becoming an artist.

Since he graduated from the Art Center College of Design in 1983, Haynes’ artwork has been represented in New York, San Francisco, St. Louis, Kansas City, and Santa Fe. Recent institutional commissions include murals and large-scale paintings for the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, the Missouri Botanical Garden’s permanent collection, and the Westward Expansion Memorial Museum at the Gateway Arch.

He moved to the United States in 2000 and settled on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he lives with his wife, artist Julia Noffsinger Rogers, and their family. He is a multi-award winning artist in both America and Great Britain who is best known for his marine and wildlife paintings. He also loves to teach and regularly leads workshops around the country. He has just been named the featured artist at this year’s Waterfowl Festival in Easton, Maryland. He is a member of the American Society of Marine Artists and the Society of Animal Artists.

“Haynes’ paintings feel familiar. His heroic history works have been likened to the WPA style of the 1930s as well as to that of American Dreamers Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish. Haynes (fairly) claims himself a descendent of Thomas Hart Benton and John Steuart Curry by calling his work Neoregionalism. His paintings build upon the early-20th century Regionalism movement by including images, events and some of the artistic innovations of the past 100 years.

The physiognomy of his figures calls to mind the strong, swaying bodies found in Benton’s Cradling Wheat (1938) and Curry’s The Mississippi (1935) at the Saint Louis Art Museum.

And like the figures in Benton and Curry’s paintings, each man and woman found in Haynes’ paintings is made noble in the face of an adversity that smacks of adventure.”

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

Hillier travels widely in search of subjects to paint. He has spent time in Southeast Asia as well as Africa. He paints in oils.

CHRIS HUNT Chris Hunt was born in Texas and raised next to the Brazos River in a small farming and ranching community by a single father who encouraged him to chase his dreams and experience the world around him. Like many young artists, when he had a pencil in hand, he was constantly drawing anything that caught his eye, but he also raced dirt and BMX bikes, played baseball, fished, hunted, and chased any other Tom Sawyer-like adventures he could dream up.

After the Iraq invasion in 2003, Hunt felt the call to serve his country as his father had, so he joined the United States Air Force. While on leave, he found himself on the streets of Paris and eventually in the halls of the Louvre. The paintings and sculptures there were so aweinspiring that the artistic bug bit Hunt again.

Upon returning home, Hunt quickly transposed the inspiration he found in Europe into Western art, finding his true voice in sculpture. His realistic portrayals of the West’s past and present figures are sought after by collectors, corporations, TV personalities, and even heads of state. He has also won several Best of Show, People’s Choice, and Best Sculpture awards at shows and museums. He has been featured in Cowboys & Indians, Western Art Collector, and NSide Texas Magazine.

ORELAND JOE, SR. Oreland Joe, Sr., was born into a creative and talented family. The son of a silversmith and painter and a musical mother, he learned to appreciate the rich diversity of his culture. As a young person, he found his passion of the arts and credits his high school art instructor with teaching him the fundamentals of creativity.

Early in life, he was fortunate enough to travel abroad to France with a Native American dance group. The art culture there intrigued him, and he wanted to study more of the medium of stone sculpture, so he traveled to Italy. Studying the works of master sculpture Antonio Canova, he learned carving techniques and styles that left a lasting impression on him and continue to influence his work in stone.

Joe is an accomplished sculptor and oil painter. His awards and honors are numerous: gold and silver medals at the annual Cowboy Artists of America show, a retrospective at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the New Mexico Governor’s Award for Excellence, and awards from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City and the Masters of the American West exhibition and sale at the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles.

Born of the Navajo and Southern Ute, Joe continues to embrace and reflect the beauty and traditions of his native heritage in his work. He is represented by Insight Galleries in Fredricksburg, Texas; Claggett/Rey Gallery in Vail, Colorado; and Legacy Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona.

JOE KRONENBERG Growing up in the Pacific Northwest with its beautiful scenery and abundant wildlife, Joe Kronenberg was exposed to a historic past that included accounts of Native Americans, pioneers, mountain men, and trappers, all of which shaped his love of the subjects he paints.

Traveling to historic sites, national parks, and the mountains of Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming each year, he studies and gathers photos and information about the animals and scenery portrayed in his work.

Kronenberg was the 2009 recipient of the C. M. Russell Museum Art Auction Ralph “Tuffy” Berg Award, which is given to the most promising up-and-coming artist. In 2017, he was inducted into the museum’s Russell Skull Society of Artists.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

MARK MAGGIORI Mark Maggiori’s first views of America were framed within the front windshield of a car on the way from New York to San Francisco.

Maggori made that month-long trip when he was only fifteen years old and on vacation far from his home in France, but its impact rippled throughout his life and set into motion his great fascination with the West.

Years later, he enrolled at the famous Académie Julian in Paris. After his formal training, Maggiori formed a successful band that brought him many opportunities in Europe, including into other artistic disciplines such as animation, photography, and filmmaking.

Maggiori was lured back to the United States by his muse, creative equal, and wife, Petecia Lefawnhawk. They journeyed through the West, and at the age of thirty-six, he decided to paint Western art. In the space of just a few years, Maggiori has become one of the premier Western artists.

His work brought many new opportunities, including important solo and group shows and a significant showing at Night of Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum, where he won the Sam Houston Award for Best Painting in 2017 and the William B. Travis Award for Patron’s Choice in 2016. Other awards include the Don B. Huntley Spirit of the West Award at the Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum of the American West in 2019 and 2018; and the Sam Houston Award for Best Painting in 2017 at Night of Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum.

JAN MAPES The roots of Jan Mapes’ professional art career extend deep into her childhood, when her family’s love for the outdoors nurtured curiosity and creativity. Her mother taught her to savor the world and love its creatures. Together, they got dirt under their nails, climbed trees, caught fireflies in a jar, and fully enjoyed all the wonder of the changing seasons. Her grandfather introduced her to the life of a southern cowman, filling her mind and heart until a craving for horses, cattle, and cowboys became as strong as one for sweets.

When Mapes moved to Colorado, she discovered that horses were everywhere, just as she had imagined. The West took up residence inside her. Its shapes, colors, and movements lured her and fed her growing curiosity.

Although art and science often occupy two opposite ends of a spectrum, this powerful combination continues to fuel Mapes’ passion for nature and the wonder of the fabric of creation.

As she sought to render the wonder around her through art, Mapes realized that an object does not stand alone, but is defined by its context. Each element in creation or any work of art is dependent on the rest. Her goal is to weave these components together in each painting and sculpture, resulting in a pleasant visual experience much like a great meal or a beautiful symphony.

BONNIE MARRIS While a student at Michigan State University, Bonnie Marris illustrated several books, including a mammalogy text by a leading expert in the field. The book attracted the attention of noted zoologist George Schaller, who invited Marris to prepare the art for posters to support his worldwide rare-animal relief programs.

Beyond academic training and emotional involvement lies that element for which there is no substitute: experience. Marris makes several field trips each year to study the animals that are her subjects. This close proximity with the animals gives her the confidence to paint them with total realism in their natural surroundings.

Marris’ work is highly sought after and can be found in many major collections throughout the country.

At the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction in Reno, Nevada, she won the Patrons’ Choice Award in 2010 and the People’s Choice Award in 2011. At the Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles, she won the 2012 Patrons’ Choice Award for Social Viewpoints; the Bob Kuhn Wildlife Award, Sponsored by Carl and Rosella Thorne; the Ross and Billie McKnight Artists’ Choice Award, in Honor of John J. Geraghty; and the Marjorie and Frank Sands Patrons’ Choice Award in 2014 for Ice Princess; and the Patrons’ Choice Award for her painting Trouble in 2016.

She and her husband, Woody, live on a farm in Ada, Michigan, with two dogs and three horses.

Bonnie Marris is represented by Broadmoor Galleries, Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Trailside Galleries, Jackson, Wyoming, and Scottsdale, Arizona.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

CURT MATTSON Joy, excitement, and intensity mark Curt Mattson’s passion for life and sculpture. It is his love of the horse and horsemanship that drives him. Movement, texture, mass, and negative space bring each piece to life. His work is unique in approach and execution. His pieces are complimented by so many collectors when they say, “Your work is so alive!”

Mattson’s dynamic works of art have garnered many awards, including the Night of Artists’ James Bowie Award from the Briscoe Western Art Museum; the National Sculpture Society’s Elliott Gantz Award; Quest for the West’s Cyrus Dalin Award from the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art; Best of Show from the Phippen Museum Fine Art Show; and Allied Artists of America’s Silver Medal for Sculpture.

Mattson researches thoroughly before starting a new work. He begins creating only when he is completely familiar with the subject.

Whether contemporary or historical, he intimately understands the nuances of his subjects. Beyond that, his artistic training assures that his work is more than mere depictions. The compositional elements come together to create artistic excellence rarely found in sculpture.

Mattson has established low edition sizes for each of his sculptures. On average, no more than twenty pieces are available of each of his works.

This low edition size makes it a rare privilege to own a Curt Mattson sculpture. In his work, viewers can be sure they are looking at the true West.

KENNY MCKENNA Kenny McKenna’s subjects are widely diverse, with an emphasis on landscapes. Painting exclusively in oils, he uses an impressionistic style that elicits warmth and calmness, an open invitation to explore, and an inherent infusion of sunlight.

With relatives residing on both the West and East Coasts, the family road trips covered an expansive territory. He continued to crisscross the United States as an accomplished musician. His contribution to music has been recognized by his induction into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame and the South Dakota Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame.

In 2017, Kenny McKenna was commissioned by the Friends of the Capitol along with the Oklahoma Arts Council and the Office of the Governor of the State of Oklahoma to create an art installation honoring the centennial of the Oklahoma State Capitol building. The dedication took place in the summer of 2018, with installation scheduled for 2020.

Kenny McKenna has exhibited in Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles, California; Small Works, Great Wonders at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Night of Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum.

Kenny McKenna’s work has been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, and Western Art Collector. His work is represented by Legacy Gallery, Scottsdale, Arizona; McLarry Fine Art, Santa Fe, New Mexico; Settlers West, Tucson, Arizona; and The Howell Gallery of Fine Art, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

MARK MCKENNA Mark McKenna is one of the top emerging artists in the West. At just 35 years old, he has achieved several major milestones, including being included in Southwest Art’s prestigious “21 under 31” list of the best young artists in the country in 2014 and having a painting acquired by the Brinton Museum in Sheridan, Wyoming, for the permanent collection in 2016.

Mark McKenna’s work is inspired by his exploits and adventures. Ranging from his simple portraits of wild and domestic critters to intense and complex scenes of animals in their environments, Mark McKenna’s animals almost breathe.

Mark McKenna earned a bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration at Brigham Young University—Idaho. He has also been fortunate to study under some of the West’s best artists, including Grant Redden, Leon Parson, Jim Wilcox, and Greg Beecham. Subsequently, he has spent thousands of hours at the easel practicing and implementing the techniques and skills gained throughout his education.

Mark McKenna’s work has been included in major museum shows across the United States and Canada, including the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale, Cody, Wyoming, and The Russell at the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana. His work is currently represented by Astoria Fine Art, Jackson, Wyoming; Dick Idol Gallery, in Whitefish, Montana; and A. Banks Gallery, Bozeman, Montana.

DON OELZE Don Oelze’s parents were from the United States, but their interests took them to different parts of the world. Oelze was born in New Zealand and at an early age, he had a fascination with America and especially with the lifestyle of cowboys and Indians. He started drawing Indians at a very early age, and by the time he was in school, he remembers getting into trouble for drawing Indians and cowboys in class instead of paying attention to his New Zealand history teacher. When he was eight years old, his parents moved back to the United States, where he continued to draw and paint throughout high school and university.

Oelze completed his education at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire.

In 1992, while living in Seattle, he met a Native American named Everett who produced native art and totems. While working with Everett, Oelze did his first big native painting. After trying many different subjects, he knew that painting Native Americans was what he loved to do most. Oelze’s next move was taking a job in Japan, and for ten years, he refined his skills and produced many paintings and drawings in his small Tokyo studio. In 2004, he and his wife, Utako, moved back to the U.S. and are presently living in Montana, studying the country and people that he loves to paint.

Oelze has participated in shows both in the United States and abroad.

CHAD POPPLETON Chad Poppleton, a resident of Cache Valley, Utah, has been passionate about art and the outdoors for as long as he can remember. His interest began while he was working on the farm and ranch with his father and grandfather, observing the attitudes, behaviors, and conformations of the animals.

Poppleton’s father, also an artist, taught him how to draw and to look at things with an artist’s eye.

Poppleton studied at Utah State University under the direction of Glen Edwards and graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration.

He retired in 2010. Having done so much three-dimensional work in his job, in the late 1990s, he gradually began to move from painting and drawing into sculpture.

"Every painting starts with the horse for me, the way the light catches its gesture and movement.” Western artist Jason Rich grew up riding, training and drawing horses on a small farm in southern Idaho. His early interest in art led him to study art at Utah State University, where he received bachelor’s and master’s of fine art degrees.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

JASON SCULL Jason Scull grew up in a family that farmed and ranched on the fringes of the South Texas brush country. His people were early settlers in Texas who arrived in the mid 1820s and ranched, raised families, fought wars, and carved a place in the American West.

Scull’s life with cattle and horses coupled with his respect for the culture of the American West continue to inspire the direction of his art. He studied Animal Science at Texas A&M and returned to the family ranch, where he remained involved in the operation until 2010.

His study of sculpture began in 1987 through the Cowboy Artists of America Museum workshop program. In addition, his early education came in the form of personal study with established artists, most notably Jack Swanson, Mehl Lawson, and Cynthia Rigden.

An award-winning artist, he most recently received the Ray Swanson Memorial Award at the 2017 Cowboy Artists of America Show.

A member of the CAA since 2011, Jason and his wife Dianne make their home near Kerrville, Texas.

KELLY SINGLETON Kelly Singleton was born and raised in rural Maryland. Her passion for animals was instilled early on, and growing up, she expressed this passion through art.

ADAM SMITH Born in Minnesota and raised in Bozeman, Montana, Adam Smith has spent thirty-four years surrounded by the incredible wonders of Western wildlife and has mastered the art of rendering it accurately. Smith studies nature with the acute eye of a scientist, yet he recreates it with the gingerly hands of a painter. He is no stranger to fine art because he is the son of famous wildlife artist Daniel Smith. Yet, make no mistake, this young artist sets himself apart from the competition and has already garnered much success in the art world. An avid traveler and cross-country explorer, Smith finds inspiration from trips he and his father have taken to Africa, Alaska, Utah, and dozens of national parks in between.

Smith has received the 2015 People’s Choice Award at Western Visions at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, Wyoming; the 2016 Henry Farny Award for Best Painting at Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis; and the 2017 Cynthia Post Buyer’s Choice Award at Small Works, Great Wonders at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

EZRA TUCKER Ezra Tucker’s wildlife art is reminiscent of the descriptive art produced by naturalist James J. Audubon and other nineteenth- and twentieth-century European and American animal artists. Tucker’s depictions attract the viewer through his dynamic compositions, unexpected color, and lighting. Tucker’s largescale paintings of birds and mammals give dignity and presence to each creature he depicts. His compositions follow the classical style of presenting wildlife in a natural state to reveal their natural behaviors and postures.

His depictions are alive, animated, and appear ready to step out of the two-dimensional plane and into a three-dimensional world.

Tucker’s art derives from his acute knowledge of each species. The challenge is always to define the beauty of each animal. He achieves a romantic appeal through his color palette and lighting of his subjects that is familiar but also new to contemporary wildlife art. Tucker’s background as a commercial illustrator gives him the experience and scientific knowledge to present animals in an iconic or bold manner. His use of earth tones and warm light gives his subjects an OldMasters appeal that brings warmth to any setting in which his art is displayed. His art is distinctive, bold, and reminiscent of natural history museum collections.

ECHO UKRAINETZ Echo Ukrainetz is a native Montanan who has been interested in art for as long as she can remember. She has never taken a class in batik but has learned through trial and error, a method that has yielded many happy accidents as well as a few disasters.

Her batiks are in collections across the United States and Canada and include a variety of subjects. Her work has been accepted into numerous fine art auctions and shows, including Night of Artists, Briscoe Western Art Museum; The Russell, C. M. Russell Art Museum, Great Falls, Montana; A Timeless Legacy: Women Artists of Glacier National Park and Double Vision: Ron and Echo Ukrainetz, Hockaday Museum, Kalispell, Montana; Annual Western Art Show and Sale, Phippen Museum Art Show, Prescott, Arizona; Yellowstone Art Auction, Yellowstone Art Museum, Billings, Montana; and Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art, Great Falls, Montana. She is represented by many galleries throughout the West.

Echo Ukrainetz’s work has been featured in Cowboys and Indians, Western Art and Architecture, Big Sky Journal, Peaks and Plains, Western Art Collector, and Southwest Art. She has a feature story, Today’s Wild West, on PBS that has been nominated for a Heartland Award.

RON UKRAINETZ Born and raised in Great Falls, Montana, Ron Ukrainetz is a master in acrylics on engraved Claybord. His work has garnered awards from many shows across the country and has been featured in magazines such as Western Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur, Cowboys & Indians, and most recently, in Western Art & Architecture with that of his wife, the artist Echo Ukrainetz.

He has been in the Top 72 of the “Best of America” National Oil and Acrylics Painters Society for two consecutive years and in the PaintAmerica Paint the Parks Top 100 or Top 50 eight consecutive times. He has been inducted into the Masters Society of the PaintAmerica Association and has been awarded master status with the International Society of Scratchboard Artists.

Ron Ukrainetz has participated in the C. M. Russell art auction and its Quick Finish event six times. He is a member of Oil Painters of America and the PaintAmerica Master’s Circle Society. He is a founding member and pastpresident of Montana Painter’s Alliance, cofounder of the Young Masters Art Program for Montana, and a founding member and chairman emeritus of the board of trustees for the Out West Art Foundation, Inc. Ron Ukrainetz has illustrated numerous books, flyers, and articles. He believes that “Perfection is a goal that gets harder to reach every day.”

KENT ULLBERG Kent Ullberg is a native of Sweden. He studied at the Swedish Konstfack School of Art in Stockholm and in Germany, the Netherlands, and France. He lived for seven years in Botswana, Africa, for four of which he served as curator at the Botswana National Museum and Art Gallery before moving to America. He lives in Corpus Christi, Texas, and maintains a studio in Loveland, Colorado.

Ullberg is a member of numerous art organizations and has been honored with many prestigious awards. He is a National Academician and received the Hering Award for Art and Architecture twice from the National Sculpture Society for monumental installations. His work is mainly dedicated to the preservation of nature and wildlife.

Among the impressive works Ullberg created is Sailfish in Three Stages of Ascending, the marine conservation monument in front of the Broward Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In 1998, he was chosen to sculpt Sworddance, the stainless steel signature monument at the headquarters of the International Game Fish Association Dania Beach, Florida. In 2002, he installed Spirit of Nebraska’s Wilderness in Omaha’s Pioneer Courage Park.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

MICHAEL OME UNTIEDT Born and raised in rural southeastern Colorado, Michael Ome Untiedt maintains a studio in Denver. Through the color, brush strokes, and subject matter of his paintings, he examines the human predicament and its connections to the landscape. Traveling widely, he is a painter who sees with a Westerner’s eyes.

He was recently made an honorary captain by the Former Texas Ranger Foundation, Fredericksburg, Texas, for his historical paintings of the Texas Rangers. He was awarded the 2014 Art Committee Choice Award at the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s Night of Artist show and the 2014 Wells Fargo Gold Award at the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale in Cody, Wyoming.

His work is represented by Settlers West Gallery, Tucson; Insight Galleries, Fredericksburg, Texas; Sanders Galleries, Tucson, Arizona; West Lives On Gallery, Jackson, Wyoming; Mountain Trails Gallery, Park City, Utah; and Illume Gallery of Fine Art, St. George, Utah.

RANDY VAN BEEK Randy Van Beek has been a full-time artist since 1980. He is self-taught, having learned his craft by studying the nineteenth-century American, Dutch, and Austrian masters.

As a student of history, he has chosen as his primary subject the American West, including landscapes and historical Native American encampment scenes. Van Beek enjoys researching tribal history, visiting campsites, and creating paintings on location to capture the soul and spirit of a place.

Van Beek is honored to be a charter member of the C. M. Russell Skull Society of Artists, which was established in 2013 with the mission to continue the legacy of Charlie Russell’s art.

He has also exhibited at Night of Artists at the Briscoe Western Art Museum.

Van Beek has received awards from the National Geographic Society and the Smithsonian Institution, both in Washington, D.C.; the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation in Missoula, Montana; the Clymer Museum and Gallery in Ellensburg, Washington; and the Blackfoot Valley Art Auction in Lincoln, Montana. His work has been featured in five national art magazines, most recently in Western Art and Architecture.

JOE VELÁZQUEZ Joe Velázquez’s creative passion is the exploration of the human spirit in history. These colorful times are reflected in his paintings as he tells the stories of the vanguard that traveled into the new frontier. It was the explorers,trappers, and traders of the early to mid-1800s who showed the way west to those who would follow. And come they did: the settlers of the Oregon Trail, the miners, the cowboys, and the railroads.

One of Velázquez’s most popular works, Season of the Mountain Men, was the featured painting for the 2010 Fall Arts Festival in Jackson, Wyoming. In 2014, the image was chosen by a major publisher in Madrid, Spain, for the cover of a Spanish edition of A. B. Guthrie, Jr.’s classic novel The Big Sky. This novel, which Velázquez read in college, ignited his passion for the history of westward expansion and subsequently launched his career as a historical artist.

For the past ten years, the annual Coeur d’Alene Art Auction in Reno, Nevada, has invited Velázquez to submit a major work. His artwork is also held in several museums across the U.S. and Canada and has been featured in several history books.

KIM WIGGINS

JEREMY WINBORG

Kim Wiggins’ distinct style and modern vision of the West has made him one of the most recognizable artists in America.

He is acknowledged as one of the creative forerunners behind the current New West or Modern West Movement. Primarily self-taught, he first marketed his work in Scottsdale in 1972. During the 1980s, he experimented with impressionism, expressionism, magical realism, symbolism, and modernism, which eventually led to his distinct approach.

Jeremy Winborg is best known for his figurative work of Native American subjects that blend realism with abstract backgrounds.

His work is found in the permanent collections of the American Museum of Western Art—the Anschutz Collection, Denver, Colorado; the Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles; the Briscoe Western Art Museum; Booth Western Art Museum, Cartersville, Georgia; Museum of New Mexico, Santa Fe; and Tulane University, New Orleans. Highlights of his career include exhibitions at Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles; Art Institute of Chicago; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City; and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia.

Winborg is well-known for his bold brushwork and palette knife work on his colorful backgrounds. He enjoys the juxtaposition of realism and abstraction.

Wiggins has been honored with numerous awards including the Briscoe Western Art Museum’s William B. Travis Award in 2018, the New Mexico Historical Society’s Heritage Award in 2014, and the People’s Choice at the Painters and the American West exhibition in 2000. The Staples Center in Los Angeles houses a major collection of Wiggins’ historical work of California. The book Kim Wiggins, Artist of the Modern West was recently released at Manitou Galleries of Santa Fe, New Mexico.

2020 NIGHT OF ARTISTS

Winborg was inspired to start painting Native Americans when his Navajo niece, Layla, was born. He focuses on creating art that preserves a bit of history on each canvas. His paintings feature Native Americans in traditional, authentic clothing with a focus on historical accuracy.

“I love to paint empowered women, not just another pretty face. I want the viewer to be drawn in and feel the emotion of the figure.

Whether it’s happiness, sorrow or whatever that emotion may be. I want the figure to initially draw the viewer in and the brushstrokes and design to be the reason you’d want to stop and look for a while, or to enjoy that painting for a lifetime. I love the viewer to be able to take a small section of my painting, whether it be a face or part of the background, and find that the brushstrokes and pallet knife work are interesting and worth your attention.

A painting is a success to me if it conveys emotion and is interesting in small pieces as well as a whole.”

Winborg, his wife Danielle, and five kids call Utah home. When he is not at his easel, Winborg enjoys fly-fishing and rock climbing.

GREG WOODARD Greg Woodard channels his profound connection with powerful animals into sculptures that are at once rugged and refined. Working closely with the foundry, he applies every patina by hand, a meticulousness that makes each addition unique in color and texture. Ever open to experimentation and innovation, he lets the material journey of his process translate into brave finished forms. “I try to achieve a unique gesture in every piece,” he says.

Woodard believes each sculpture tells a story of close communion between humans and animals. He also explores the cultural impact of opening the West, as symbolized by the railroad track.

Born in 1958 in Prescott, Arizona, Woodard’s formal training is limited to high-school art classes. Thus largely self-taught, he began by carving decoys and went on to become the only artist to win both decorative and interpretive categories in international carving competitions. He is the five-time Best of Show winner at the Ward World Competition and the 1992 World Class winner. In 2000, he captured the world category in interpretive sculpture with his rendition of a prairie falcon chasing several swallows. Other accolades include his inclusion in the collections of the Museum of the West and the Booth Western Art Museum and a feature article in the January/February 2018 issue of Art of the West magazine. Most recently, he won the Fine Art Connoisseur award for best sculpture at the 2018 Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale.

XIANG ZHANG Born in the year of the Horse, Xiang Zhang (pronounced ”Shong Zang”) grew up in China.

After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, he received his master’s degree in fine art from Tulane University in New Orleans. Upon moving to Texas, Zhang combined his love for painting horses and portraiture to develop his art. Zhang is an American Associate Living Master of the Art Renewal Center in Port Reading, New Jersey. In 2016, he was awarded the Committee’s Choice Award for Two-Dimensional Art. Based on Zhang’s observations on working ranches, his work reflects the symbiotic relationship between the cowboy and his horse. Using scintillating colors and bravura brushwork to capture the drama of ranch life, he has created a definitive style that has catapulted him to new heights in the art world.

Zhang’s work has been exhibited in prestigious national shows at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum, Oklahoma City; the Briscoe Western Art Museum; and the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles. He has had numerous successful one-man shows, and his work has been featured in Western Traditions, Contemporary Artists of the American West, Art of the West, Southwest Art Collector, Fine Art Connoisseur, and numerous other publications. He currently resides in Dallas, Texas, with his wife Lily. Xiang Zhang is represented by Southwest Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas, and McLarry Fine Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
