Past Events

Barrie will occupy Booth 129 in the Expo hall most likely adjacent to the Society of Gilders booth. Barrie will feature his yakisugi (shou sugi ban) charred cedar frames, Thomas Molesworth-style "cowboy chic" frames, steel and wood combination frames, gilded tondos and other gilded frames. This is Barrie's first time attending as an exhibitor and it's a big leap in his career. He is a contributing writer to Picture Framing Magazine and has features about Edvard Munch's frames on four versions of The Scream in the December 2025 issue and Gustav Klimt's The Kiss in the January 2026 issue. The magazine will feature his yakisugi frames in March or April 2026. This will be a rare opportunity to see Barrie exhibiting his fine work. The Expo has brought him to teach in gilding in the past, especially with his Prints on Hand-Gilded Paper process, in 2017, 2018, and 2020. Please stop by the booth to have a conversation with Barrie or to just say hello and to see his frames, photography of the Great American West, and other innovations. 

Barrie has been awarded first prize in this exhibition for his photograph, Northern Arapaho Ranch: Lost Portrait.

Barrie will be gilding for the quick draw. Come see Barrie lay gold leaf on a frame and have it ready to auction in an hour with one of his photographs included. He'll also be exhibiting five photographs in the exhibition.

Although I will not be in attendance at this festival, I will have two photographs, Quarter Horse with an Absaroka View and A Bed of Ram's Skulls, featuring in their juried show that will be for sale. These artworks are important to my Bighorn Basin Documentary Photography Project and are currently on exhibit in the Wyoming State Capitol Annex in Cheyenne, WY. Those two are part of the Wyoming State Museum permanent collection.

Barrie's photograph, I Am Able to Transcend All that I Lay on the Table (a.k.a. Tabletop Transcendence), will feature in this exhibition. Barrie's photograph is a 15x15 inch archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Natural Line paper, presented in a 24x20 mat and frame, and it will be available for sale for $450.00. This image is from Barrie's Domestic Arrangements body of work and was created in 2021.

SAGE Community Arts and Uprising have been working in collaboration since 2021 to show the diverse nature of the arts and the key role they can play in the healing journey for trafficking and trauma survivors. The Survivor Artists Arts Exhibition is the culmination of such efforts.

Juried by Keith Davis, my photograph, Presenting Wyoming Indian: Dante's Threshold, will feature in the exhibition.

This group exhibition was installed December 28, 2022 to coincide with the January 2, 2023 inauguration of 2nd term Governor Mark Gordon. Although it was scheduled to remain in the Capitol throughout the state legislative session and into April, 2023, the response has been so positive that the show has been extended to stay on view at least through October 2023. How about them apples?
