Art Show
them," she says. She also works in shifts around her growing family which
includes two daughters and two step-sons.
Over 70% of Fercho's works are commissioned pieces where her clients
choose the palette, size, and subject matter. While some artists might think
this stifles creativity, Fercho finds it stimulating. "I enjoy the energy from
doing a piece specific to my clients: their personality, their home, their
vision. I've always said my gallery pieces are little Trojan Horses people bring
into their home but it's really my commissioned works that are
my best works."
Her goal for the year is to do more large installations and commissioned
work. See her 12 tipis at the Billings Clinic's main atrium. For a more
meditative experience, she will be installing a series of 4 paintings at
Cloisters on the Platte in Nebraska this spring.
Although the show bears her name, Fercho shares her venue downstairs
at the Celtic Cowboy with artists Kevin Rose, Ron Russon,
and PJ Smith. "We are also including artists new to the show: Matt Flint,
Kelly Pates, and Alesha Rogness," says Fercho.
2018 marks Fercho's eighth consecutive year contributing a painting
in the live auction. Watch for her painting entitled "Fast Horse"
when you go!
A portion of the show's sales will be designated for Benefis Hospital. It's
just one more opportunity to pay it forward during Western Art Week.
