SUMMARY:Make it Wild: Finding Your Flow with Water-Mixable Oil Paints
DESCRIPTION:Finding Your Flow with Water-Mixable Oil Paints with Rachel Smith\nLive\, in-person class at the National Museum of Wildlife Art \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		\n\nAre you curious to try oil painting\, but don’t know where to start? Maybe you have some experience with oil paints\, but are interested in removing the need for harsh solvents? Water-Mixable Oils are a fun medium to experiment with\, for beginning and professional artists alike. In this class\, you will have the opportunity to try this medium in a playful environment.\nYou’ll learn:\n– Methods of paint application & basic rules to follow\n– How to use painting mediums\, including Cold Wax\n– Go beyond canvas & hear about the many options of painting diverse surfaces\n– Advantages of a simplified color palette & color harmonies\n– Learn about the flow state & how to forgo the rules and find your own expression \nRegister Here\nMake it Wild courses are open to adults and young adults with beginner to intermediate abilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions during this interactive program. Art materials are included in this in-person course. \n\n$50 per Live In-Person Class\n\nYour registration fee supports the Museum’s Art Leadership Scholarship in Honor of the Memory of Dick Jennings. Dick Jennings was a Museum board member whose memory inspires us to pursue our passions. The $4\,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a local High School Senior who plans to study art at the college level. Thank you for your support! \nAbout the artist:\nAside from occasional workshops\, Rachel is largely self-taught. She studied Art History and Anthropology\, and her work is greatly influenced by Anthropological perspectives – Postmodernism\, particularly the idea of binary oppositions (beauty/ugliness\, light/dark\, warm/cool\, smooth/rough\, shiny/dull)\, is a recurring theme in her art. The beauty in seasonal contrasts inspires Rachel; her paintings are often tonal or monochromatic. Mountainous landscapes with trees\, clouds\, snow\, and water are her favorite subjects. \nAchieving a mental “flow state” is the most important part of her creative process; she believes flow to be a cause of success\, in the end\, results in her paintings and a key to finding happiness. Painting and downhill skiing are the only two activities that thrust her into a flow state. Rachel is originally from Rockford\, Michigan\, and she has called Wyoming “home” since 2011.

Dick Jennings was a Museum board member whose memory inspires us to pursue our passions. The $4\,000 scholarship is awarded annually to a local High School Senior who plans to study art at the college level. Thank you for your support! \nAbout the artist:\nConnor Liljestrom (b. 1995\, Jackson\, WY) Graduated with a BA in fine art from the University of Wyoming in 2019\, where he gained recognition through scholarship awards\, portfolio review\, and residency selection. Since then\, his works have sold out at solo exhibitions and been collected privately nationally\, and internationally. His standout emergent success has supported the establishment of an exclusive partnership with New West Fine Art. His solo exhibitions with New West Fine Art include ‘The Last of the Old West’ (2020). His work references mythologies\, Hollywood and pop culture\, natural history\, colonialism\, and the canon of Western-centric art history. Liljestrom layers these references such that a platform for the viewer is created to either enter conversation centered around these subjects or be introduced to them for the first time all together. He works primarily in oil and mixed oil media. He lives and works in Jackson\, Wyoming.

Pen-and-ink drawing was my first love\, and later I expanded into woodcut\, ink wash and sumi-e. I began to expand my palette to include color\, and for most of the following decade I focused on watercolor\, loving that transparency. I have come to appreciate the flexibility\, durability and intensity of oils as well. I am also a photographer\, and have lately been producing overlays and collages that include altered photos\, drawings\, and watercolors. \nMy work has been shown in venues including the Center for the Arts\, Teton County Library\, and others. I have participated in juried shows\, including the Co-existence with Wildlife exhibition at the National Museum of Wildlife Art. This year my work will be included in JH Public Art’s Wild Walls project and I participated in NMWA’s Plein Air Fest.” \nSusan Marsh\, O Pioneers!\, 2022. Watercolor on Rag paper. 11 x 14 inches. \n*This piece is currently on view in Above the Clouds: Art of the Alpine!

SUMMARY:Greater Yellowstone Botanical Tour Kick Off
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Museum of Wildlife Art\, Teton Botanical Garden\, and The Nature Conservancy for a celebration of the new Greater Yellowstone Botanical Tour (GYBT)! This event will begin immediately following the watercolor workshop with Shana Stegman.

The ADA-accessible tour\, which has an audio component available in English and Spanish\, showcases the importance and beauty of native plants. The botanical garden displays three distinct types of habitat present in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem: wildflower meadow\, sagebrush steppe\, and aspen grove. \nMeet under the tent near the Museum entrance and enjoy light refreshments. \nThree guided tours by botanical staff: \n\n12:00 – 12:30 pm guided tour of GYBT\n1:00-1:30 guided tour of GYBT\n2:00-2:30 guided tour of GYBT\n\nThis project is possible thanks to support and work from Teton Botanical Garden\, The Nature Conservancy of Wyoming\, and the Jackson Hole Land Trust\, and because of generous grants from Teton Conservation District\, Community Foundation of Jackson Hole\, and Smart Family Fund.
