WAOW Artistry of the West
The WAOW Artistry is slowly being built to provide a page on our site to promote each artist. This project began late summer 2024. We have over 300 members to load here on their pages. You can search by name, location or by subject matter to find an artist.
Janel Maher • Tennessee • waow
Janel Maher's sculptures are known for capturing the heart, soul and very essence of one of our greatest treasures — the horse. Maher's sculptures can be found among collections throughout the United States, Europe and South America with two perpetual trophies in England and South Africa.
Jenifer Cline • Colorado • waow
It is the connection, the joy – the reluctance to leave the scene that inspires Jenifer Cline to paint. She considers the sense of place, the effects of light and the linkage of heart and soul to the earth as the most important aspects of her work. She paints exclusively in oils en plein air.
Gina Stonecircle • Montana • waow
From Custom Hardware and Home fittings to unique Metal Art and Mixed Media sculpture, everything from Twisted Tree Forge is Crafted with Design and Quality in mind, here under the Big Sky of Montana.
Growing up in Montana, steeped in the history of the West, Gina developed a deep appreciation for the art that depicted the rich culture of this part of the the world. Gina melds natural elements with modern mediums to create unique, one of a kind pieces that reflect the way of life in Montana and living on the land. Gina works primarily in wood, stone, and epoxy resin, and she collaborates with her partner, a master blacksmith who adds metalwork to many of their pieces.
Donna Merchant Crooks • Colorado • waow
Donna Merchant-Crooks has a kinship with nature, where she finds solace and inspiration. She spent years cooking and pulling mule strings in Idaho’s wilderness, developing an appreciation for the rare and untouched.
