| "Canyon Sunrise in Southwest Wyoming" by Jill Hartley |
Jill Hartley’s “Wyoming Landscapes” will be featured in the Nicolaysen Art Museum's Rosenthal Gallery in Casper through Sept. 9.
Jill Hartley lives and paints in the high desert country of
Southwest Wyoming. Her rich landscape paintings in oil reflect the bright light of the West. Jill was born in
Colorado Springs, CO. She attended college in
Colorado, and moved with her husband to
Wyoming in 1976, living in Hanna, Glenrock, and
Rock Springs. In 1986, they purchased a small ranch on the Wyoming-Colorado border, and Jill’s studio, built by her husband and son was completed there in March 2008. Jill’s work has been widely exhibited and awarded regionally. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, American Plains Artists, and the American Impressionist Society.
”The landscapes of
Wyoming are a painter’s dream. The paintings in this exhibit are my response to the intense light, big distances, muted colors, and dramatic skies that are
Wyoming. It is a good day when I feel I have successfully caught even a little of that grandeur on canvas. I want my work to take you to a place you’ve been or would like be.”
Her work is represented by Horizon Fine Art in
Jackson,
WY; Deselms Fine Art in
Cheyenne,
WY; Navarro Gallery in
Sedona,
AZ; and West of Center Gallery in
Rock Springs, WY; and on her website
