April Newsletter

April 01, 2024

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Are you a waterfall aficionado? If so, do we have an exhibition for you! This month, our front gallery is brimming with an exciting variety of waterfall interpretations by our talented artists. Fish Creek Falls is the name of our all-artist show. Each piece within it aims to capture the mesmerizing cascading water as it tumbles down rugged cliffs with a force that is both exhilarating and soothing. Waterfalls remind us of nature's ability to both humble and inspire us. We hope you enjoy the show. Join us for the grand opening this Friday, April 5th, 5–8pm during First Friday Artwalk.

Please also note the gallery will be closed for spring break (and spring cleaning) April 22–28.

March Newsletter

February 27, 2024

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Traveling has a unique way of sparking inspiration. As one immerses in unfamiliar landscapes, cultures, and experiences, a wealth of new sights, sounds, and emotions can ignite the creative spirit. During the month of March, we are proud to feature a joint exhibition by ‘en plein air’ painter Susan Gill Jackson and nature photographer Abby Jensen entitled OPEN ROAD: ARTWORK FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY. We invite you to enjoy their thoughtful and compelling interpretations of scenery from Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, and Colorado. This beautiful collection is a testament that in their travels, the journey became an integral part of their art-making process, infusing each piece with a rich tapestry of memories and inspiration. The opening reception is this Friday, March 1st, 5:00–8:00pm during First Friday Artwalk.

Please also join us for our next Artist Talk on Thursday, March 7th, 5:30–6:30pm. Susie and Abby will talk about their background, process, travels and the making of their joint exhibition.

FEATURED WORKS

GOOD NEWS:

All of our talented artists at Pine Moon share in exciting, unique, and divergent interests beyond that of their art. After a 2-year hiatus, Abby hit the show ring with her 6 year old Half-Arabian, home-bred horse JSN Winston Churchill. This new partnership is proving to be a great one, winning a Reserve Championship at the Scottsdale Arabian horse show this February. She and Winston are looking forward to competing at regionals in May and US Nationals in October.

Also in February, Attila Feszt traveled to Puerto Rico to serve as the Vice President of the Bahamian Surfing Association. He is there for a world surfing competition that will determine Olympic status. Good luck team!

February Newsletter

January 29, 2024

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Can you believe February is here? This month we have collectively set out to create an exhibition that embodies the very best of our work. Best Foot Forward: An All Artist Exhibition is evidence our artists pour their innermost creativity and imagination, their skills, their passion, their curiosities, and their heart into the artwork they produce. Each and every artistic expression is both personal and authentic and, as we all celebrate love and honor the relationships that bring joy and warmth to our lives, we hope their love for art, and for sharing it with you, also comes through this month. Join us this Friday February 2nd, 5:00-8:00 pm for our monthly Artwalk and the official opening of the show.

We are also continuing our Artist Talk Series on Thursday, February 8th, 5:30 - 6:30 pm. This has become a wonderful event and opportunity to learn in depth about the background and artistic process of our artists. In February we will be featuring Jennifer Baker and Sandi Poltorak. These ladies are both masters of their craft, Jennifer Baker working with kiln formed glass, and Sandi Poltorak working with graphite and charcoal. Over the last couple of years, they have done many beautiful collaborations together. Come and learn how they create artwork individually and in partnership.

January Newsletter

January 01, 2024

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Whether you live in Steamboat full time, part time, or like to come visit throughout the year, you’ve certainly come across the motto ‘Kindness Floats the Boat’. A simple but powerful saying, it speaks to the transformative impact that even the smallest gesture can have both on the individual and the community. With each act of kindness, a ripple effect is set in motion. Like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, the waves of kindness spread far and wide. This new year let us embrace kindness with open hearts. All of us at Pine Moon Fine Art wish you a very happy year, carried by growing ripples of peace and kindness.

New Beginnings is the title of our January group exhibition. We invite you to come see what this sentiment means to each one of our artists. First Friday Artwalk is this Friday, January 5th, 5–8pm. We look forward to seeing you!

GOOD NEWS

This year’s Winter Carnival Poster, commissioned by Steamboat Sotheby’s International Realty, was created by our own Susan Gill Jackson. The original artwork will be auctioned at the SSWSC Foundation fundraiser All In! on Saturday, February 10, 2024, benefiting the Scholarship Fund.

INSPIRATION
The inspiration for CELEBRATE, the 2024 Winter Carnival poster came from the event name: WINTER around here speaks for itself, is beautiful strong and enduring – like out athletes and like our Western Heritage. Since 1914, the locals have kept the Winter Carnival history. And this town likes to celebrate with fireworks – thus the title CELEBRATE!

ABOUT SUSAN GILL JACKSON
Susan Gill Jackson, was born an artist. She has always pursued art through the study of various mediums including pencil, watercolor, stained glass, trompel’oeil and oil painting. More recently she has grown in her obsession with painting en plein aire and being directly in the elements to capture the fleeting light and color. She has found it to be quite an intimate and exciting challenge.
