Cubby West Spain
Cubby West Spain is a painter who uses line and shape to find forms and define forms in landscape with gouache, watercolor, acrylic and oils. Her hope is to articulate visually the beauty and mystique of wild places through subjects connected to them. Through this she is hoping to simultaneously connect the viewer with the importance of preserving wilderness lands.
Currently she is working on two series. One that examines the American Buffalo and their demise in the 19th Century, through patterns and intentional brush strokes that define the forms of these majestic animals in their Western landscapes. A second series underway focuses on western landscapes and examines the cowboy imagery inherent in it. She currently lives and works in the mountains of Ketchum, Idaho with her husband and two daughters.
Her work has been featured in publications and shown in galleries across the country and in Italy, a few to note; Curate Vail Valley Gallery (Vail & Edwards, CO), Anne Irwin Gallery (Atlanta, GA), MOCA (Atlanta, GA), Art on the Beltline (Atlanta, Ga), The Invisible Dog Gallery (New York, NY), Arte Laguna Biennales (Venice, Italy), Swan Coach House Gallery (Atlanta, GA).
