Courtney Collins Fine Art is proud to present Wild West, a captivating new exhibition featuring the emerging artist Anke Shofield.
Anke Schofield’s work explores the rugged beauty and untamed spirit of the American West through a vivid and expressive lens. Her pieces, including Bandit One and Bandit Two, depict mysterious, elusive figures embodying the wild, rebellious essence of frontier life. These works delve into themes of freedom, identify, and the mythos of the West, inviting viewers into a world where tradition and wildness intertwine.
A highlight of the exhibition is a special, one-of-a-kind Rodeo Rider portrait. This powerful piece celebrates the strength, grit, and heroism of rodeo athletes, capturing the rugged determination and resilience of the sport’s fearless competitors.
In addition, Anke’s innovative crown portraits incorporate Montana’s native flora – local wildflowers and Montana chickadees – adding an intimate, natural touch that connects her subjects to the land. These elements symbolize resilience and the delicate beauty of Montana’s wilderness, enriching her portraits with layers of meaning rooted in place and nature.
