Meet Whitney Michelle Hall
Oil | Mixed Media | Pastel | Conte | Drawing | Charcoal
Raised in the Southwest and now living in Bozeman, Montana, my work explores the wild textures and colors of the Western United States. I’ve been fascinated by the natural world for as long as I can remember, sometimes spending hours watching lizards and picking desert flowers as a child, and I try to bring that same wonder to my work.
For my larger pieces, I work in mixed oil media and cold wax, and for my smaller pieces, I work in layered resin with mixed media. I love spending time drawing, finding interesting textures, and pushing the abstract – each piece seems to take on a life of it’s own. My main goal is to take an image and find something new and beautiful in it, showing you a horse or a flower in an entirely new way.
I have been painting and teaching full-time since 2009 and my work has won numerous awards, including the 2011 Oil Painters of America Western Regional Award of Excellence and the 2019 Buffalo Bill Art Show 2-Dimensional Award, and in 2011 Southwest Art Magazine selected me as one of “21 Under 31 Artists to Collect Now.” I’ve exhibited in museums, auctions, and juried shows throughout the west and my work is collected throughout the US and Canada.
