Hitting The Slopes

‘Hitting The Slopes’ Exhibit Opens at Ponder O’rielle Winery Featuring Artist Stewart Anstead

Sandpoint, ID – [February 7, 2025]– The Art Spirit Gallery is excited to announce the opening of the ‘Hitting The Slopes’ exhibit at Ponder O’rielle Winery on February 8, 2025. This captivating exhibition features the renowned work of Stewart Anstead, a talented Utah artist whose distinctive style reinterprets mid-century Americana through a contemporary lens.

Stewart Anstead’s artistic range is showcased in this collection, with acrylic works that transition from highly detailed photo-realistic brushwork to thick impasto expressions and mixed media pieces. Having spent over 20 years as a professional artist, Anstead understands the power of storytelling through art. “Everyone has a story to tell,” he explains, “and I am in the business of helping people express those stories as seen through my point of view.” His work often explores human interactions and pursuits, making it deeply relatable and engaging.

One of the highlights of Anstead’s portfolio is the DK Series, which consists of mixed media artworks reflecting the decay of public signage—billboards, advertisements, and cultural symbols. These pieces peel back layers to reveal hidden images and messages that tell stories about communities, recreational activities, and individual experiences, allowing viewers to discover new narratives upon closer inspection.

Join us for the opening reception on February 8 from 5-8 PM, where attendees can meet Stewart Anstead, enjoy exquisite wine, and explore his stunning artworks that celebrate the spirit of skiing and the enchanting landscapes that surround Sandpoint. This event promises to be an engaging evening for art and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as the community at large.

Don’t miss the chance to experience ‘Hitting The Slopes’ and celebrate the artistry of Stewart Anstead at Ponder O’rielle Winery, where art and nature come together beautifully.
