SARAH WINKLER | EDGE OF THE WILD | ADVANCE PREVIEW
Opens First Thursday, July 6, 6 - 8 pm
Artist in attendance
Inspired by the geology of the Cascade Mountains, Sarah Winkler continues her exploration of landscape with her distinctive layering process. She depicts the region's overlapping, collage-like terrain as a textured rise in elevation, with lowlands covered in coniferous forests, waterfalls, and wildflowers. Horizontal bands of meadows, alpine lakes, and glaciers characterize higher altitudes.
Winkler mimics the process of erosion by applying paint onto wood panels, then sanding back through layer after layer. Oscillating between abstraction and figuration, she pays close attention to borders, boundaries, and edges. Viewers get a sense of the landscape adapting and transitioning, beckoning toward adventure and exploration.
Winkler’s art is represented in galleries in the US and Canada, including museums and Art Fairs such as Bakersfield Museum of Art in California, Art Aspen, and the LA Art Show. Her work has since been featured in over 100 prominent US and international collections, from Maker’s Mark Whisky in Kentucky, to Vail Health in Colorado and Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley, Arizona. Winkler is a participating artist in the US Department of State’s Art in Embassies program, where she has recently been showcased at the American Embassy in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. She was recently named one of the top ‘Women Painters on the Rise’ by Artsy Inc. and was curated into their 2022 digital billboard campaign 'Scenes of Summer' exhibition in New York City. Her work has been featured in Scientific American, Times UK, Vail Valley, Mountain Living, Cowboys & Indians Magazine, American Art Collector, New American Paintings and in the documentary, 'Moment' by Making Art Films.
