Following the Fall Arts Quick Draw, join the Gallery Wild artists to celebrate wildlife, wild places and the experience of wild that inspires their work. Enjoy a curated collection of work by nationally recognized contemporary artists including photography, paintings and sculpture. Gallery Wild artists will be available to answer questions, tell stories and share their process of creation. Enjoy drinks, appetizers and of course, great conversation!

Join three incredibly talented wildlife painters for an evening of art, drinks and socializing. All three painters are well established contemporary wildlife artists with very different unique styles. They paint from their own photos and experiences in the field with wildlife, allowing them to capture more than a still image. Come meet the artists, learn about their work and enjoy an evening at Gallery Wild! 

Bring your curiosity and join us for a drink! With over 50 bronze wildlife sculptures at Gallery Wild, Rip & Alison bring years of talent and experience to the collection. Come learn about the lost wax sculpting technique the Caswell’s use to reproduce each piece of an edition. Working as a husband-wife duo, they see each piece from the start in clay to being cast in bronze at their artist owned foundry and then finished with a unique patina. Rip and Alison will be available all evening! 

Join us during Palates and Palettes for this one night only guest show with Ed Peterson! After a meaningful trip to Jackson in 2011, Ed, then 79 years young, was inspired to start painting. With a number of artists and gallery owners as his mentors, Ed has developed his style and talent over the last 8 years. An endeavor into the world of art was not what he imagined for himself at this stage of life, but it has brought him great joy and the world of contemporary wildlife art another talented artist. Come meet Ed, view his work and learn more about his journey of becoming a painter.

Join us in welcoming artist Jenna Von Benedikt for her first solo show! This emerging artist has continued to impress collectors since she joined Gallery Wild. Jenna's #sainted series of birds, bugs and beasts seeks to capture the story and personality of animals and places them in an atmosphere that entertains both human and wild beauty. Painting with oils on a panel, Jenna has a very distinct and playful painting style that creates unique patterns and textures to hold the personality and story of the animals she captures in each painting. Using tapes, knives and brushes among other things to create her desired affect, Jenna's style is fresh with a tasteful antique feel.

Wild Saints a show by Jenna Von Benedikt hanging August 15-21.

Artist demonstrations August 15 & 16, 12-5
