SCROLL PAINTINGS OF THE LOST In Daniel North’s travels and subsequent paintings, he has explored the length and breadth of the Rocky Mountains from Canada to the Rio Grande. Searching for a distinctive premise in his work, his explorations of the culture of the communities he visits reside in a shadow of natural wonders. The majority of the work is landscape-based and never parades figures across the composition, instead he paints their general presence or absence through the use of symbols. Gallery Kits Available for this exhibition.

SUBLIME RE-IMPLACEMENT J. Michael Simpson has been making oil paintings that contain images of segments of rocky terrain and white water rivers from mountain areas. As the worked progressed he began to associate personal life events with the geologic and hydrologic drama within these places. In the discovery of sublime senses, the paintings have become poetic metaphors for sublime moments. Gallery Kits Available for this exhibition. |

HELMI JUVONEN: SELECTIONS FROM THE HUMBOLDT ARTS COUNCIL PERMANENT COLLECTION Helmi Juvonen was master of not just one medium but many. Ever inspired by Native American culture, she is known for her watercolors and prints of masks and ceremonies performed by local tribes, and even some from the local Japanese community. Like many artists of the Pacific Northwest, Juvonen focused on dull and muted colors, taking her palette from the natural hues of the misty and heavily forested coast. Though perhaps less widely known than fellow artist Kenneth Callahan, or Northwest master, Mark Tobey, Helmi Juvonen’s work should not be overlooked. Her pieces are stunningly original and have captured the essence of the Northwestern Pacific, its native culture, its wildlife, and its rugged beauty. |
