  • Jackson, WY, August 22, 2024 — Shari Brownfield Fine Art is thrilled to present a forty-year retrospective exhibition by Robert Buelteman, a visionary artist renowned for his innovative approach to photography. The exhibition, opening September 6th, 2024, will bring together two of Buelteman’s distinct bodies of work— his celebrated camera-less color prints, and his exquisite black-and-white analog landscapes.

    Buelteman grew up with a profound appreciation for nature in the then sleepy Woodside, California. Originally on a path to become a professional pilot, Buelteman’s life took a transformative turn when a chance encounter with a camera led him to abandon aviation in favor of photography. After attending San Francisco State and the University of California, Berkeley, where he studied the hard sciences behind the medium of photography, Buelteman began his artistic journey providing photographic services to architects and interior designers. Eventually, his love for the simplicity of black-and-white landscape photography led him to begin a 10-year project photographing the San Francisco State Fish and Game Refuge, a place off-limits to the public since 1920. This early work set the stage for his deep commitment to land conservation and photographic excellence, and, over his career, his art has helped to preserve and conserve over 150,000 acres of land.

    In 2000, Buelteman’s artistic vision took a radical shift as he abandoned traditional imaging tools in favor of a camera-less technique that drew nearer to Chinese brush painting and improvisational jazz than it did standard photographic practice. This innovative approach has earned him numerous accolades and a place in prominent public and private collections worldwide. Then ensued his journey into color, where he transitioned from a decades-long career in black-and-white to an energetic exploration of a fresh, vibrant technique. His first solo exhibition featuring these botanical images not only sold out, but also marked a new era for the artist. 

    In celebration of his 70th birthday, Buelteman’s retrospective will be a comprehensive showcase of his artistic evolution, highlighting his quest for light and shadow across both mediums. This exhibition will offer visitors a chance to experience the unified vision behind his work, presenting it as a cohesive journey rather than as two separate entities.

    The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, September 6th, from 5-7 PM, during the Fall Arts Festival signature event Palettes & Palates and with Buelteman in attendance. A free public artist talk will follow on September 7th at 2 PM, offering insight to his creative process and artistic evolution.

This early work set the stage for his deep commitment to land conservation and photographic excellence, and, over his career, his art has helped to preserve and conserve over 150,000 acres of land.

    In 2000, Buelteman’s artistic vision took a radical shift as he abandoned traditional imaging tools in favor of a camera-less technique that drew nearer to Chinese brush painting and improvisational jazz than it did standard photographic practice. This innovative approach has earned him numerous accolades and a place in prominent public and private collections worldwide. Then ensued his journey into color, where he transitioned from a decades-long career in black-and-white to an energetic exploration of a fresh, vibrant technique. His first solo exhibition featuring these botanical images not only sold out, but also marked a new era for the artist. 

    In celebration of his 70th birthday, Buelteman’s retrospective will be a comprehensive showcase of his artistic evolution, highlighting his quest for light and shadow across both mediums. This exhibition will offer visitors a chance to experience the unified vision behind his work, presenting it as a cohesive journey rather than as two separate entities.

    The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, September 6th, from 5-7 PM, during the Fall Arts Festival signature event Palettes & Palates and with Buelteman in attendance. A free public artist talk will follow on September 7th at 2 PM, offering insight to his creative process and artistic evolution.

Robert Buelteman: Forty Years

Driven by a deep understanding of natural complexities and a fierce curiosity about expanding the limits of photo-possibility, photographer and artist Robert Buelteman masterfully crafts poignant images of life, color, and transcendence. View the exhibition online. View a digital catalog online.

  • Jackson, WY, August 22, 2024 — Shari Brownfield Fine Art is thrilled to present a forty-year retrospective exhibition by Robert Buelteman, a visionary artist renowned for his innovative approach to photography. The exhibition, opening September 6th, 2024, will bring together two of Buelteman’s distinct bodies of work— his celebrated camera-less color prints, and his exquisite black-and-white analog landscapes.

    Buelteman grew up with a profound appreciation for nature in the then sleepy Woodside, California. Originally on a path to become a professional pilot, Buelteman’s life took a transformative turn when a chance encounter with a camera led him to abandon aviation in favor of photography. After attending San Francisco State and the University of California, Berkeley, where he studied the hard sciences behind the medium of photography, Buelteman began his artistic journey providing photographic services to architects and interior designers. Eventually, his love for the simplicity of black-and-white landscape photography led him to begin a 10-year project photographing the San Francisco State Fish and Game Refuge, a place off-limits to the public since 1920. This early work set the stage for his deep commitment to land conservation and photographic excellence, and, over his career, his art has helped to preserve and conserve over 150,000 acres of land.

Touch the Sky - An Online Exhibition

Tue, Apr 7, 2020 - Sun, May 31, 2020 | Shari Brownfield Fine Art (map)

These are unprecedented times of isolation during Covid-19. Extroverts and introverts are suffering alike, losing the energies that keep their spirits alive. Many of us have turned to art to help us relieve some stress and uncertainty. Others have turned to Mother Nature. I turn to both. With this exhibition, Touch the Sky, I hope to share beauty in the form of how the landscape around us is interpreted by various artists. The exhibition can be viewed online here.

Sean Cavanaugh : Under the Elder's Gaze

Thur, Mar 5, 2020 - Thur, Apr 30, 2020 | Shari Brownfield Fine Art (map)

The opening exhibition of Shari Brownfield Fine Art, titled Under the Elder’s Gaze by Sean Cavanaugh features exquisitely rendered and highly realistic watercolors of tree trunks, but done in a remarkably contemporary way. 

  • “I love the idea of highlighting this historic 100-year-old log cabin with an exhibition of trees.” says Brownfield.   The painter grew up surrounded by artists; he is the grandson of famed American modernist Milton Avery, and both his grandmother and mother painted as well.  

    Of his paintings Cavanaugh says “My latest body of work focuses on tree trunks, both standing and fallen.  I find that the removal of all other information about the scene lets one more deeply appreciate the texture, detail and individuality of each object. Just as a crowd makes it impossible to measure one person’s face, so does the forest make it difficult to see an individual tree.”
