Charles Gause
view this artist's work
Charles Gause -- the artist, the painter, the Alaskan
Charles' love of nature and his interest in art have been two life-long focuses. Gause was encouraged, as a child, to pursue his interests. He sketched and painted throughout his early years.
In 1975, at the age of 19, the painter moved to Alaska. His original intentions were to only stay for several months; long enough to earn money for school. Almost immediately, though, the artist was taken in by Alaska. He traveled throughout the state, even working on the North Slope aiding in the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
Since he was 21, Gause's art has been his proprietary mainstay. Like most, in the beginning he worked for survival. However, as his exposure to Alaska increased, and his painting scope broadened, Charles Gause has become a nationally renowned and accredited artist!
In 1988, CHARLES GAUSE was selected as the official fund-raising artist for the well-known Iditarod Trail Race. Each year for 10 years, Gause created a print to honor the efforts of mushers and dog teams participating in this strenuous race.
Gause paintings are collected world wide.

Ernest Robertson
view this artist's work
Being an artist lets one look at the world a little differently. Trying to share that way of seeing is what being an artist is all about quoted from Robertson on Robertson. The son of two school teachers, Ernest Robertson’s family moved to Sitka, Alaska in 1947. Robertson’s interest in art was inspired by Sydney Laurence, whose techniques he greatly admires. An outdoorsman by nature, his favorite subject is a mountain vista, a dusk, or a moving seascape with its ever changing qualities.

Fred Machetanz's paintings have been exhibited around the world. His first one-man show took place in 1961. Machetanz was awarded
the 1977 Alaskan of the Year, three honorary doctorates and a seat in the Alaska Press Club Hall of Fame. The luminous effect of his Renaissance glazing techniques are the trademark of his work and his fascination with Alaska shows through.

Gail Niebrugge

Gail
Niebrugge (Knee-brew-ghe) born and raised in California has pursued art
since childhood, winning a poster contest on the Johnny Jet television show
at the age of twelve. The Niebrugge family fell in love with Alaska while
on vacation in 1976 and never returned home, instead they established a
residence in the remote interior settlement of Copper Center. Since 1995
Palmer has been home to the Niebrugge’s
Traveling by mail plane, ski plane, helicopter, boat, raft,
ATV, canoe, truck and camper as well as hiking on foot, enables her to gain
first-hand knowledge and understanding of Alaska’s wilderness, wildlife,
landscape and history. Returning home to work in the studio her love of
these subjects is translated into colorful paintings.
Known
throughout the world for her use of pointillism, the artist developed this
technique in 1986 while confined to bed recovering from neck and back
injuries. Using small dot like strokes the paintings are made from
thousands of spots of color. Up close the dots dominate, but when viewed
from a distance the image is sharply realistic.

Glass Eye Studio is located in the Northwest which is a great place to
design and blow glass. Cool temperatures moderate the tremendous heat
produced when working glass. All Glass Eye Studio glass features ash from
the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption.

Art was an integral part of John's life at a young age. Born in 1954, he grew up with his five siblings in the small farming community of East Aurora, New York. Today, his primary artistic explorations are in light and contrast. Through trial and error, John chose the airbrush to convey the subtle changes of light he wished to capture in his watercolors. The success of his limited edition fine art prints has allowed him to make art his life's work.

Johnny Johnson
view this artist's work
Johnny Johnson’s success may stem from his feeling for his subjects and his ability to capture scenery and wildlife at their most expressive moments. His photos have been featured on the cover and pages of Natural History, National Geographic and Alaska magazines. Johnson researches his subjects before leaving on trips into the wilderness to catch his subjects at the right moment in optimal conditions. He spends months at a time tracking the birds and animals that populate Denali Park.

Judie Gumm
view this artist's work
Judie Gumm
is a noted jewelry designer from interior Alaska where she has been
designing and manufacturing jewelry since 1970. She is recognized for her
Alaskan nature designs, combining sterling silver and semiprecious stones in
designs which feature the birds, fruits, berries and animals of Alaska and
the Pacific Northwest. We are pleased to offer a selection of her jewelry.
"I draw inspiration from
Nature's own wealth of imagery. I am particularly drawn to capture animals
and plants that have a whimsical theme or romantic symbolism. This approach
often challenges me to find that perfect bead or stone to complement the
design in a meaningful way. As a craft, jewelry should be well made,
durable, and above all else wearable. But it also can be an art form that
enchants the wearer with beauty."
Judie Gumm
Born in upstate New York, Judie Gumm settled in
Alaska in 1972. Largely self- taught, she has been designing jewelry for more
than 30 years and works almost exclusively with precious metals in the lost
wax technique. Prior to 1984, Judie worked individually on one-of-a-kind and
limited edition designs. Since that time she has worked closely with a small
staff of skilled artisans who assist her in the production of her work. In
1990 her husband, Dick Gumm, joined her. Their goal is to create jewelry
hand-crafted for a lifetime of enjoyment at an affordable price.

Nathalie Parenteau
view this artist's work
Nathalie
Parenteau was born in Montreal, Quebec and grew up surrounded by art. That
culture was strong in her a family and her artistic inclination was
cultivated at an early age and flourished in her twenties when she
disciplined herself for a self taught artistic development. She is now an
established artist, exploring both composition and color to represent the
figure in its physical environment.
Understanding at an early age that creation necessitated life experiences,
she spent a few years traveling and living in the far corners of the world.
After high school she spent nine months volunteering across Canada, followed
by a year living close to the land in a remote corner of the Yukon
Territory. Nathalie’s years in the North have had strong affects on her art.
The vastness and solitude of this latitude is evident in many of her
paintings. But there is certainly a humorist side to her art as well which
leads her to create whimsical images, sometimes caricaturizing both people
and environment which are very popular with the outdoors enthusiasts.
