DownloadThrough the technique of gestural abstraction, Jessica Wright invites us into a world of enchantment: a world of forested landscapes that are sometimes burning and bright and other times shrouded in mist. Self-taught, Jess has been painting since the age 12. About four years ago she abandoned the brush—after more than 25 years of work—and hit upon a “throwing” technique that employs acrylics, chopsticks and, of late, her own hands. Her paintings come to life with color and texture—and an immediacy that produces an almost child-like state of wonder and awe in the viewer.
Doug Wodark's art centers on an update of the iconic image of cowboys and Native Americans as well as animals in a more contemporary light. A simple, atmospheric background, often with a solvent-based patina, overlaid by a single, closely cropped silhouette. Doug lives in Castle Rock, Colorado with his wife, Heidi, and two children.
His work can be found at various galleries throughout the West.
