A premier source for stylish furnishings, fine art, and the most extraordinary accessories. Glass, paintings, photography, wood, stone, bronze, sculpture, ceramics, and jewelry.

Fairweather House and Gallery has become one of the historic Gilbert District’s sought-after destinations, offering an amazing, ever-changing visual experience.

We have represented a collection of fine art by an exceptional group of regional artists for over fifteen years, from traditional to transitional, contemporary to realism, and impressionism to emerging art.

 

Gallerist Denise Fairweather draws upon her earlier life in staging and high design, principally as a senior-level interior designer, allied member 1987-present/ American Society of Interior Designers.  

When an exhibit opens with the proper lighting, signs, and art on display, she wants it to be a perfect scene for the artists and art patrons. Since 2006, the accessories have been placed to complement the art created with a specific theme, working together to make an ideal exhibition.

Fairweather welcomes artist Jeanne Cuddeford to the gallery.

About the artist

Jeanne Cuddeford was born and raised in Washington
County, Oregon. While she attended Portland
Community College for a time, her artistic talents have
culminated throughout her life since grade school,
when she first remembers wanting to be an artist. Like
her former child self, to this day, Jeanne still finds
herself struggling to recall the passing of time when
she gets lost coloring.

“Art is at its finest when we bring the things we cherish to life. A surge of energy fills me when I stand at the edge of a crimson clover field, applying paint to my canvas. Capturing the moment when the sun illuminates a mountaintop or observing the flowers radiate as the light shifts just before sunset generates an excitement that grows stronger.”

The blues from gemstone artist, Cherisse Mia.

Ocean Gems by Cherisse Mai

Over 90 transparent layers of paint create the deep color of water. Rare Alberta ammonite fossils are covering the painting with fossils and blue gemstones.

No matter what is happening in the world, be like the rock with the waves crashing around it. 

Inspired by my deep-seated passion for geology, my artistic repertoire includes incorporating gemstones to further explore the intricate beauty of earth’s history and the  cataclysmic events that shaped our planet. To complement these stunning focal points, I developed a technique using acrylic paints to create dynamic backgrounds reminiscent of the natural flow of ocean waves.”   Cherisse Mai

My fossil fascination began in my childhood when I discovered the wonders of ancient marine life preserved in stone high in the mountains. This early encounter sparked a lifelong journey of uncovering Earth’s secrets, leading me to spend countless hours cracking open rocks and searching for fossils.

Alberta, known as the dinosaur capital of the world, reignited my passion stones. The thrill of stumbling upon sparkling shards of iridescent fossils was indescribable. 

Nearly a decade ago, I made the bold decision to turn my passion into a career and embarked on a journey to make art the actual landscape in an abstract form that would truly stand out as an entirely new genre. It was a crazy idea, and the thought of using my fossil collection made me dig deep for every ounce of courage within to take the first step to incorporate these metallic gemstone chunks directly into my paintings.

The initial idea seemed to flow naturally out of what I was engaged in, but there were many challenges ahead. Learning to use a tile saw to cut the rock and mastering resin techniques required years of experimentation. Luckily, I enjoy the process of trying new things, “feel the fear and do it anyway,” it’s often said. I was so afraid of the saw I would swivel my head around and scrunch my eyes closed as I attempted to escape the noise and flying rock chunks.

Each piece tells a story of ancient worlds preserved in stone, waiting to be unearthed and immortalized on canvas. Genuine geodes and gemstones, mixed media on cradled wood. Alberta ammolite, opal, amethyst, garnet, azurite, crystal geodes, copper and more.

Cherisse Mai’s art beautifully captures the essence of ancient worlds, preserving their essence in stone and immortalizing them on canvas. With each new idea and technique she explores, one feels deeply honored to collaborate with the Earth in her creative process. Sharing the magic with all the collectors at Fairweather’s is significant and satisfying.

Each artwork created is a labor-intensive process, akin to wrestling an alligator to the ground. There are many moments of doubt and frustration along the way, yet from the chaos emerges a phoenix, a testament to the transformative power of creativity and perseverance. 

I create large pieces of unique and stunning contemporary abstract art with a rare secret! Many of my art pieces incorporate my fossil finds from Alberta the elusive ammolite fossil gemstone. The gemstone from Alberta’s fossilized ammonites is more rare than diamonds and is only found in this area of the world.” — Cherisse Mai, gemstone artist

My working studio is connected to my home but every year I set up a Studio at the Western Showcase Art show  during the Calgary Stampede where I have a chance to interact with people from all over the world, engage with patrons about commissioned art, and share a beautiful slice of Alberta with them.”  CM

Cherisse Mai is an artist based in Alberta, Canada. From its rich geological history and healing force, the artist shared her story with Fairweather’s of blending nature’s rare gemstones to create something truly unique, a mesmerizing blend of ancient history and contemporary artistry.

Just in from artist Phil Juttelstad.

Yaquina Bay Bridge 

Pen and ink drawing

 

In my work that depicts the built environment, I look for the ‘hand of man’ on the face of nature. Then I express the shape of structure within the landscape. I enjoy emphasizing the tonality within the work and the effects of atmosphere, light and shadow. I also feature paintings about the forest and the seacoast, with occasional subjects from my travels.”  –NW artist Philip Juttelstad.

In his art, NW artist Philip Juttelstad captures the human impact on nature and highlights the interplay between structure and landscape. He focuses on tonality, atmosphere, light, shadow, and occasionally paints scenes from his travels. Juttelstad’s work encompasses the built environment, forest, seacoast, and diverse travel subjects.

My artwork focuses on forms, structures, lines, and shapes, whether in abstract or contemporary realistic representations. — PJ

The Rocks at Ecola Beach

The studio’s landscape work uses reference photos and on-site sketches. Preliminary color studies are prepared to establish volume and value relations, and then the work is done directly on canvas using oils. —PJ

Phil Juttelstad’s work has been influenced by prior training in architecture and related disciplines.  His design aesthetic is also inspired by the environment of the Pacific Northwest- the skies; the land and the water.

He has enjoyed the study of the regional artists of the Pacific Northwest that have contributed to this style of work; Carl Hall, Carl Morris and C.C. McKim, among others. Tonality within the landscape is also a favorite subject of his and Juttelstad enjoys the exploration of the effects of atmosphere, light and shadow.
