Kathryn Mapes Turner
The artwork of Kathryn Mapes Turner has unfolded from the mountain valley of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. As a daughter of the Northern Rockies, she was born as the fourth generation and raised on the Triangle X Ranch in Grand Teton National Park. She grew up riding the trails of the valley, learning wilderness lore and gaining an eye for landscape. The happy synergy of a receptive spirit and a place of magnificent beauty set the course for her life. Turner is now an award-winning artist nationally recognized with top honors from the American Impressionist Society, Southeastern Wildlife Exhibition and the National Academy of Equine Art. Her work has been exhibited in the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Charlie Russell Museum, The Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum and the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum. See more of her work at Kathryn’s gallery Turner Fine Art.
Kathy Wipfler
Kathy Wipfler grew up in a very rural area of northern California and went to a medical Trade School, graduating as a Surgical Technician. She plied her trade in Idaho Falls for over a year before moving to Jackson in 1980 to learn how to paint from life, the term being ‘Plein Air Painting.’ At the time, there were three art galleries, plus two well-known Jackson painters. Kathy had high hopes that they might be willing to give her some advice and through painter Conrad Schwiering she met her first outdoor painting mentor, Greg McHuron. And, the rest is history, so goes the saying!
Erin C. O'Connor
Artist Erin C. O'Connor finds the inspiration for her scenes directly at the source ~ in the beauty and diversity of the great American West. This passion for painting on location has earned her a place in many prestigious plein air events, and the National Park Service has acquired two of her pieces for their Permanent Collection. Her penchant for living lightly and painting boldly has been featured in Plein Air Magazine and Southwest Art. A former Board Member for the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters, she makes her home in a small historic log cabin at the base of Teton Pass.
