Make It Wild: Tiny Wyoming Animal Mounts with Amy Ringholz

Join local artist and author Amy Ringholz to create and paint tiny animal mounts out of air dry clay. Ringholz will guide participants as they explore color, pattern, and design while shaping sculptural wall mounts.

Known for her atypical color combinations and bold, saturated colors, Ringholz’s palette begins with earth tones and then often advances to bright hues. In addition, her animal subjects seem to display human qualities that engage the viewer through the power of personality and eye contact. Her unique process; drawing in ink then adding colors inspired by the west, brings her renditions of the animal kingdom to life. Ringholz was chosen as one of Southwest Art Magazine’s “21 Under 31 Emerging Artists” of 2005.
