About the Show ~ “Meet the Neighbors”
It is an honor to be showcased at Sola’Café, in my hometown.
I moved here to live closer to the magnificent wild animals of the Greater
Yellowstone. We are very lucky to live in a community where we can walk to see
wildlife roaming freely. I hope we never take this for granted. It is a very rare
and special place. I spent a decade living and working close to the wildlife of Yellowstone and
Grand Teton National Parks. I count those times as the most influential to my
art. I painted these strong, capable and powerful creatures to highlight their presence
in the neighborhood. Live light, stay connected and take good care of your place.
We are all in this together. Every action counts.
Partial proceeds to benefit local area non-profit, Yellowstone Country Guardians.

Adair Peck, artist statement:
I have been an artist for as long as I can remember.
I grew up in a household with an art appreciating father and an artist
mother who exposed me early on to theater, music, painting and
drawing. After my mother, my next great influences were German Expressionism
and folk and primitive art.

While receiving my BFA from Boston University and my MFA at Brooklyn
College, I loved drawing from life as I walked the city streets or
rode the crowded subway. These sketches became the basis for my earlier works of sculptured
collages, paintings and wood block prints.

I am currently working with Papier Mache, a medium I find both
meditative and meticulous. As I sculpt, I allow some of the lumpier forms to coexist with more
refined details, allowing the personality of my subjects to emerge.
My most recent inspiration is my hometown of Bozeman where I live with
my husband, three daughters and Australian Shepherd.

My work reflects the personalities and facial expressions of many of
the people and animals I see everyday, as well as the legacy and
lifestyle of ranchers and hunters.

We live in a rare place, where daily life is infused with western
traditions, surrounded by beautiful wilderness and vast sky.
By reinterpreting objects such as trophy heads, I hope to give the
viewer a fresh, humorous take on our shared cultural inheritance.
