Artists: Travis Walker
Travis Walker combines expressive landscapes with references to the art historical canon and media of his childhood to explore the atmosphere and ambiance of the American West. Born in Tokyo, Japan as an Air Force brat. Walker spent a lot of his free time reading comic books, consuming science fiction, and drawing the world around him. Currently living and working in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Walker continues to be inspired by his childhood passions, now incorporating them into his love of western landscapes. Painting on location, Walker captures the open skies, sweeping prairies, and towering mountains iconic to the West, while simultaneously adding a fresh perspective into each composition; Walker often inserts motifs from popular culture into his landscapes, whether it be Darth Vader or Uncle Rico of Napoleon Dynamite. Other works juxtapose wildlife, such as moose, bear, and deer, with urban life, creating comedic reinterpretations of classical western symbols. Join us for an opening reception on Thursday, March 14, 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

Artists: Zoe Hawk
Missouri-based Zoe Hawk represents the triumphs and difficulties of adolescence through her intimate portrayals of girlhood, friendship, and play. Posed in a variety of playful scenes, such as by pools, forests, or at home, Hawk’s subjects are imbued with a sense of childlike wonder. Underneath each idyllic surface, however, lingers an atmosphere of uncertainty. Feelings of nostalgia permeate Hawk’s paintings, conjuring up the innocence, anxiety, and curiosity of growing up. The landscapes and interiors which form the backdrop for Hawk’s paintings accentuate the atmosphere of familiarity and discomfort. Lush woodlands tempt the viewer with the mysteries that hide amongst the trees’ shadows, while glimpses of suburbia represent the constraints of societal expectations. Stylistically inspired by storybook illustration, Hawk’s paintings explore the liminality between girlhood and womanhood, juxtaposing impressions of comfort with apprehension. Join us for an opening reception on Thursday, March 14, 6:00 – 8:00 pm.

Artists: Beau Carey
A horizon line plays a pivotal role in establishing perspective, depth, and spatial orientation within a composition. It serves as the anchor point around which the elements of the artwork are organized, creating a sense of balance and harmony. For a viewer this can be a way to establish place and start conveying a message. For an artist this can be a starting point and something to refer back to during the creation process. For our own Beau Carey, it created a challenge. “It’s this amazing pictorial invention. A simple horizontal line across a page makes a landscape. But it’s fiction. In reality it happens everywhere and nowhere. Consequently, I thought I needed to disregard it entirely or explode it. So entered the idea of multiple horizons in one picture.” - Beau Carey Image Credit: Wildwood, 2023, oil on canvas, 52 x 66 inches
