Visions West

I am excited to report that I am now represented by Visions West Gallery. Visions West has locations in Bozeman MT, Livingston, MT and Denver, CO. We visited Bozeman this summer to drop off a few smaller works and do some family camping. I have to say, if Lander wasn't such a great place to live, I think we would be living in Bozeman.

"Into Sight" Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas, 40"x60" 2009 Available at Visions West

I drove some work to the gallery last weekend and took pictures along the way. When I travel alone, I like to take random shots while driving...I just point the camera, cross my fingers, keep my eyes on the road, and shoot. sometimes I get some really interesting things. It was an amazing day, clear sky, warm, the last bit of summer still hanging on. I kept reminding myself how fortunate I am to live where I do.

Affordable Art?!

"Simple/Complex 1-20" from the series "Simple Things for Complex Times."

In recent months there have been a great amount articles, blogs, e-seminars, and conversations about the art world surviving the current economy. I know many supporters of the arts and collectors are frustrated. In an attempt to allow more people to have access to art, I made a series (titled Simple Things for Complex Times)of 20 small mixed media paintings that are available at Lyndsay McCandles in Jackson,WY. Here is a link to an article on Tammy Christels' Jackson Hole Art Blog about the work and my motivation behind it:

All 20 works are priced at $199.00. The pieces are titled Simple/Complex 1-20 and are mixed media on canvas done in 2009. The sizes are 6"x6" squares and 5"x7" or 7"x5" rectangles depending on orientation. Again did I mention that all of the works are $199.00?

I wanted to have a chance for people on my mailing list to snatch up a piece before they are all gone. If you would like to purchase any of the works please call Lyndsay to make arrangements at 307.734.0649.

Press, Publicity, and a New Painting

I have a nice little mention in an article in the Boise Weekly about art collecting.  The article has a shot of one of my pieces too!

 

The Walls of Perception 

Boise lawyers learn the art of collectingby Bill English

Spink and Butler stand before a large oil and alkyd on board by Wyoming artist Matt Flint. The painting, entitled Dust, is their most recent acquisition. It employs abstracted plants and animals to suggest isolation and transformation. It offers a dream-like landscape of the artist's imagination.

"I like the texture and the colors," Spink says. "The techniques Flint uses, like scratching the surface, make it moody. When I look at Matt's work, I wonder what he's thinking about."
