November Newsletter

November 01, 2023

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Most of us that live in the mountains have a special affinity for trees. The aspens all around Steamboat mark the cycle of the seasons. Meanwhile, the evergreens sit beautifully still while we hike and ski around them, or tether hammocks and slack lines to their trunks and limbs. Trees provide endless inspiration for artists too, often becoming powerful symbols in works of art such as strength, stability, life and connection.

During November, the artists of Pine Moon Fine Art are celebrating all of their favorite trees. Come enjoy a small, eclectic and colorful forest in the gallery. The grand opening of TREES: ARTISTRY THROUGH THE SEASONS is this Friday, November 3rd, from 5-8 pm. We are open daily 11-6. See you soon!

October Newsletter

October 02, 2023

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Autumn in our Yampa Valley is a breathtaking display of nature's vibrant artistry. As the days grow shorter and the temperatures begin to cool, the valley transforms into a kaleidoscope of rich and warm hues. The aspen trees, standing tall and proud, don their golden yellow attire, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the evergreen forests. The rolling hills and meadows become a patchwork of fiery reds, burnt oranges, and rustic browns, as the foliage embraces the changing season. There is so much inspiration all around us!

During the month of October, we are Celebrating our Yampa Valley. The entire gallery is filled with artworks from all of our artists that honor the stunning beauty of our home. First Friday Artwalk is this Friday, October 6th, 5–8pm. Come mingle with friends and enjoy a stroll in the crisp autumn air. We’ll see you soon.

Help us welcome our new guest artist, Silas Axtell. Silas is a native of Routt County and was taught in the french classical atelier style, which included figurative drawing and painting, at the Grand Central Atelier in New York City.

September Newsletter

August 29, 2023

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Every year, as the crisp autumn breeze sweeps across the sky, a mesmerizing natural phenomenon takes place: the sandhill crane migration. These majestic birds, with their long necks and distinctive red crowns, embark on an awe-inspiring voyage spanning thousands of miles, including a visit through our Yampa Valley, each year. We celebrate their beauty and resilience, and revere their journey.

During the month of September, while we will showcase artworks featuring the sandhill crane, we hold larger space for a powerful, vibrant, and personal solo exhibition by our own Missy Borden. Entitled HOPE – WONDER – AWE : A COLLECTION OF VISUAL MEDITATIONS, the show encompasses works brimming with color, movement and personal insight. September will be Missy’s last month at Pine Moon Fine Art. Throughout the month, help us bid her and her family a warm farewell. They will embark on an exciting new journey of their own during which we wish them much hope, wonder and awe. Missy, your voice will be missed. Thank you for being an invaluable member of our gallery.

See you all at First Friday Artwalk this Friday, the 1st, from 5–8pm.

Wolves, with their untamed beauty and beguiling nature, have long captivated the human imagination. Often portrayed as symbols of strength, these majestic creatures have a complex social structure that fosters an unparalleled sense of loyalty within their packs. While their piercing howls under a silver moon may evoke a sense of primordial mystery, these highly intelligent predators are a vital part of the natural world, showcasing adaptability, resilience, and an unwavering spirit of survival.

During the month of August, our front gallery will be filled with an incredible collection of images captured by nature photographer Abby Jensen. These works are the culmination of keen observation and thorough documentation near Churchill Wild’s most remote eco lodge, Nanuk Polar Bear Lodge, in Canada. We hope you will join us for the opening reception of Cloud Wolves of the Kaska Coast this Friday, August 4th, 5–8pm.

FEATURED WORKS

July Newsletter

June 30, 2023

Dear friends and family of Pine Moon Fine Art,

Throughout history, collaboration has proven to be the backbone of creativity and innovation. Collaboration brings together different perspectives, skills, knowledge and insight which create something greater than what can be achieved alone. It fosters trust, communication and, when it comes to art, it fuels creativity by transcending the artist’s and medium’s individual point of view and abilities.

This month our gallery is proud to present a unique collaborative exhibition by glass artist Jennifer Baker and graphite artist Sandi Poltorak entitled Glass. Glass and Paper. Paper. This unique collection of works includes individual pieces by each artist and also works that merge both mediums in a completely innovative and unique way. We hope you will join us for the opening reception of this exciting show this Friday, July 7th, 5–8pm. The show will be on view the whole month of July. We are open daily 11am–6pm. See you soon!
