PFAC presents Shannon Troxler art show & reception March 29
by Pinedale Fine Arts Council
March 23, 2019
The Pinedale Fine Arts Council is proud to present an exhibit/lecture and reception for Jackson, Wyoming artist Shannon Troxler on Friday, March 29 at 7 p.m. in the Sublette County Library Lovatt Room in Pinedale. This event is free to the public and wine and appetizers will be served! Troxler will be presenting a body of work created in encaustics, which involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid or paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood.
Troxler is a graduate of the Schuler School of Fine Arts and the Art Student’s League where she learned a deep appreciation for the craft of classical art while grinding pigments and making her own charcoal. These days she continues to explore new mediums and methods in her studio in Wilson Wyoming. Her latest passion involves molten wax, a blow torch, and the encaustic medium. Her work has been featured by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Birds in Art exhibit, The National Museum of Wildlife Art, The Governor’s Capitol Art Exhibit, and Arts for the Parks. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Wyoming State Museum.
According to her website, Troxler’s work explores the natural world we encounter and how we as humans relate to it through myth, poetry and literature. She is fascinated by the intersection of the visual world and the written word and how closely they are entwined. She is continually exploring and experimenting with new mediums that challenge and excite her.
Additionally, Troxler will also be spending a week in residence with Pinedale High School art students March 25-29. The residency will focus on the Encaustic painting.
The March 29 evening reception will feature Troxler presenting a slide show lecture accompanied by a small exhibit of her work as well as work completed works by Pinedale High School students during her week-in-residence.
Shannon Troxlers’s reception and residency are presented by the Pinedale Fine Arts Council with support from Sublette BOCES, Wyoming Arts Council and Sublette County School District No. 1.
