DISCOVER THE ARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION
Dumas, Fales, Pfister, Shabelewska, Snook, von Morisse
JESSE FALES, Green Deers 2026
Juliette Dumas
Juliette Dumas, Small Bison, 2024, watercolor on paper, 7.8 x 6 in.
Acclaimed for her Whale Fluke Paintings (2018), French artist Juliette Dumas continues her commitment to the Rio Negro Manifesto while expanding her exploration of the natural world through her bodies of work TERRA and TATANKA.
Small Bison, presented in this exhibition, reflects the artist’s dream of connecting with the Northern High Plains of America, where bison roam freely. Dumas has visited the Yellowstone region twice, experiencing firsthand its powerful natural beauty. This intimate watercolor offers the first glimpse of a larger body of work currently in development.
Jesse Fales
Jesse Fales, New Yellowstone Wildlife Ceramics & Chris Pfister, Birds, two Oils on panel.
Born in Cody and raised along the North Fork of the Shoshone River in Wyoming’s Wapiti Valley, Jesse Fales is the daughter of outfitters and dude ranchers. She spent her childhood outdoors, joining pack trips deep into the Absaroka Mountains. Rimrock Dude Ranch has been her home since the age of fourteen, and she has spent her summers riding through Shoshone National Forest and Yellowstone National Park.
Fales began creating sculptural, functional ceramics in 2002. Drawing from memory and observation, she brings the wild animals she encounters into her ceramic forms. Inspired by ancient pottery traditions and techniques, Fales’s work celebrates the harmony between nature and human experience, inviting viewers to connect with the land and its inhabitants. Through her art, she captures the wild beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the enduring spirit of its creatures.
Chris Pfister
Chris Pfister, Barn Owl, watercolor on paper in the artist’s frame. Other works on view are two oils on panel depicting birds in nature.
Yale-trained artist Chris Pfister has lived in Wyoming for more than twenty years, developing an intimate connection with the wildlife surrounding his home. For this year’s exhibition, Pfister presents Barn Hawk, a luminous watercolor on paper in the artist’s frame, alongside two richly observed oil paintings on panel depicting birds within the quiet complexity of their natural habitats. With remarkable skill, sensitivity, and delightful craftsmanship, these works celebrate the beauty and presence of Wyoming’s birdlife while bringing a sense of wonder and vitality to the exhibition.

Aubree was born in 1998 in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and grew up on a ranch in Rosebud, Montana. From a young age, she showed a strong interest in art, influenced by the landscapes and skies of the American West. Now living in Powell, Wyoming, Aubree paints full time. Her love for the natural world inspires much of her work. “My paintings come out of the American West, its scale, its weather, and its particular quality of light.” Aubree is the recipient of the following Awards:
