"Topo" is an abstract landscape painting featuring blue and green hues. Kate Hooray Osmond is inspired by the work of Hilma af Klint and Damien Hirst. “My series of paintings deal with sensation and ultra-color,” Kate explains. “I am considering the concepts of over-consciousness, Horror Vacui and the overlap between joy and terror. In visual art, “horror vacui” (from Latin “fear of empty space”), also kenophobia (from Greek “fear of the empty”), is the filling of the entire surface of a space or an artwork with detail. For this series titled “Gold,” each piece is influenced by a topic of consideration: technology, super-nature, genetics, pharmaceuticals, perception. As Kate studies and meditates on these subjects, her path of investigation grows more and more intense until she teeters between becoming overwhelmed by fear for our future and a euphoria filled with hope and intention. “I feel so much life that I am paralyzed by it, and I am confounded by how sensation and numbness can blend together,” says Kate. “All that glitters is Gold.” Born in 1983, Kate Hooray Osmond earned her MFA in Studio Art from...

"Tributaries" by Bonnie Zahn Griffith, Oil and Cold Wax Medium on Wood Panel, 18" x 18" unframed, 20" x 20" framed in a modern black frame with hanging wire included. Known for her plein air pastels, Bonnie also does some amazing abstract pieces like this one. Bonnie Zahn Griffith is an artist of the western landscape, working in oils and pastels. The rich pigments of pastel and oil allows her to create paintings that have the brilliance and the bold color we see in the landscapes of the western United States, giving her unlimited options to create. These mediums allow Griffith to bring depth and texture, light and mood into her paintings. "My goal is to create work that draw the viewer in to experience and imagine the time of day, the temperature, the sounds, the smells. I want the viewer to experience the work and get lost in it – if only for a moment. My love of the landscape prompts me to paint it. I look for a story to tell when I look at the sagebrush hills, the lush river lands, the wheat fields, the intense greens of spring in rich mountain valleys and the ever changing colors of the desert. My mediums allow me to tell that story with strong color and intensity." As a child of artist parents, Griffith grew up on a ranch near the Missouri Breaks in central Montana. They lived in a remote area and that allowed for a lot of self-directed entertainment - drawing, painting, reading, horseback riding and daily ranch chores. Griffith was a self-proclaimed artist at age 5, getting into her mother's paints and paper. Landscape shapes, texture and color were observed and studied. Famous artists like Russell, O’Keefe and Payne were favorite sources of reference. "I don't remember ever being "bored" because there was always something to do that interested me! Pretty much all of that stuck with me through a career in Radiology Sciences; showing work in galleries and exhibits during that time. In the mid 1990's my art became a full time endeavor." Bonnie Zahn Griffith has studied with instructors such as Robert Moore, Lorenzo Chavez, Ned Mueller and others in the quest to strengthen and develop her style of representational work. Griffith is a signature member and the Secretary for the Pastel Society of the West Coast, a signature member of and past President for the Northwest Pastel Society, member of the Landscape Artists International (juried membership), Plein Air Painters of Idaho and American Impressionist Society. She has served 7 years as the chair for the Meridian (ID) Arts Commission, has served as the Executive Director of WaterWorks Art Museum, Miles City, MT and curator for several galleries. Griffith also teaches workshops in plein air technique, pastel painting techniques (Studio and Plein Air) and multimedia art. She works out of her studio in southwestern Idaho and paints plein air throughout the Rocky Mountain region, the western US...
