_______________________________________________________

We want to thank Mike Beeman, Cheyenne resident and nationally recognized award winning artist who was kind enough to judge the 2013 Western Art Show!!!

Mike Beeman PSA, IAPS-MC

Mike’s interest in art began at an early age while living in Banbury, England.  His neighbor, a portrait artist, sparked a fascination that has influenced him throughout his career. Painting in oils or pastels, in studio or on location, his love for a challenge takes him from figurative work to landscapes to still lifes.  No matter the subject or medium, Mike is focused on capturing the light and creating a mood that will engage the viewer.  His work has been selected in Pastel Journal’s top 100 competitions (2013 Silver Award for still life), the Richeson 75, and International Association of Pastel Societies’ exhibits.  Mike is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America and a member of the IAPS Master Circle.

Friday evening artists donated 6x6 inch paintings for the silent auction.  Also that evening, a quick draw was held with a live auction. Saturday, artists Mike Beeman (pastels and oils) and Joan Fullerton (watercolor landscapes) taught workshops as the Wyoming artists' work were judged by Cheyenne gallery owner, Harvey Deselms. Later that day paintings and sculptures were awarded with  ribbons.  A banquet with music was held at the Plains Hotel Saturday evening.
