Upcoming events.
The Vintage West
Gallery Wild is excited to present a new body of work by artist Carrie Penley. Her solo show titled “The Vintage West” showcases iconic wildlife portraits in her signature mixed media style. Penley’s use of vintage sheet music, magazines and newspapers initiates a dialog with the viewer and invites them to spend time engaging with her subjects. In combination with the base of collage, her expressive painting style builds texture and depth in her compositions. Layers of color in both neutral and vibrant palettes give her mixed media work a beautifully balanced dynamism. As a storyteller, Carrie Penley’s creative exploration and personality can be seen throughout “The Vintage West” collection. Pulling titles from words and phrases found in the various print materials threaded into her paintings, she keeps the viewer immersed in the details, but also guides them to notice the overarching connections between past and present.
Join us for an artist reception on Friday, October 25th from 5-7:00 pm to celebrate “The Vintage West.” Stop by the gallery to enjoy light refreshments and meet Carrie Penley in person!
“The Vintage West” will be on display from October 25 - November 7.

Gallery Wild: Chronicles of the West
Ancient Origins, 30 x 48, acrylic, collage and resin on canvas
ARTIST RECEPTION | August 19, 2021 | 1 - 7 PM
It's common to hear that art is "better in person," and with Carrie Penley's body of work, this couldn't be more true. There's a narrative within her work that contains so much detail that photographs just can't capture it. Carrie collages tidbits of newspaper clippings, quotes, images, music sheets and more into the background of many of her pieces. These collages seem to tell the story of the animal that is masterfully painted on top of the collage. Come Welcome the Georgia based artists to Jackson and hear the stories of her pieces, their inspiration and learn more about her at her artist reception on August 19th.
