Backyard Wilderness

A coyote in the parking lot, a mouse in the house, a hummingbird at the feeder, a bear on the trail; Backyard Wilderness celebrates experiences we all have had encountering wild animals in places commonly used by humans.  When we overlap so closely with our wild neighbors, what is the outcome? Whose land is this really? How can art give us new ideas and ways of seeing those connections? Jennifer Molesworth and Janet Fagan have teamed up to curate an exhibit that we hope will shine a light on how we can all share the land, sky and water in ways that benefit all.

Curators: Janet Fagan and Jennifer Molesworth

Untamed

Cheryl Quintana

In Untamed, visitors explore Cheryl Quintana’s unearthed stoneware creations that are inspired by the diverse wildlife inhabiting the Methow Valley. 

Much like the term "untamed," these sculptures which are conjured from stoneware clay are infused with vivid imagery and intense emotion. Each piece aims to inspire feelings of wildness, freedom, and strength.

Quintana invites each observer to immerse themselves in the "untamed,” investigate the attributes of each sculpture, and reflect on how one might incorporate elements of the "untamed" into their lives.
