Local artists earn awards at Cody show

Posted

The Cody Country Art League has announced the award winners of its 56th Annual Community Art Show. 

A total of 233 pieces were submitted by local artists and judged by professional artist Reid Christie of Cody. Categories ranged from oil/acrylic, ceramics, woodworking, pastel, photography, mixed media, watercolor, sculpture/bronze and fiber arts. Awards were presented in each category among professionals, amateurs and youth.

Best of show went to Patty Stern for her “captivating” acrylic painting, titled “Dappled Ponies.” The People’s Choice was a tight race but ultimately went to Cody artist A. B. Smith for her pastel painting “His Copper Eye Passed over Me.”

This year’s Wells Fargo award went to Paul Kethley of Powell for his oil painting “Evening Encampment.” Cody artist Larry Bathauer took home the 2021 Pinnacle Bank award for “Autumn Billiance,” an acrylic painting. 

Michael Hansen from Lovell earned the Dennis and Shirley Barhaug Emerging Artist award for his oil painting “Shoshone.”

Lee Niziolek, longtime Cody Country Art League member and current board member, took home the Fern Bath award in appreciation of all her volunteer hours, behind-the-scenes work and contributions to the art league.

The Community Art Show will remain on display in the Cody Country Art League’s main gallery through July 31. It’s located at 836 Sheridan Ave., in the same building as the Cody Country Chamber of Commerce.
