Featured Artist ~ Kirk Neiberger

January 2024

Pen and ink artist Kirk Neiberger, who calls himself the Inkist, creates drawings from photos, most of which he takes himself. He particularly loves to interpret local structures and scenes but his pen travels to far-flung places as well. He releases limited-edition, high quality Giclee prints of his original drawings which he personally hand-titles and numbers. These prints also come with a signed certificate of authenticity. The artist will be featured at Sutter Creek Gallery during the month of January, with an opening reception on Saturday,
Jan. 6, 2024, from 2 to 5 p.m.

Kirk's work is characterized by an attention to detail, as shown by how he depicts the bark on trees or the weathered wood on old buildings or the wide variety of foliage in landscapes. Local landmarks are a favorite subject, many of them in Sutter Creek where he lives. Landscapes of wineries and byways around the area are also shown. This collection includes coastal scenes of Point Reyes, Tomales Bay and Mendocino as well. Kirk often draws local oaks and conifers, sometimes singly or as part of a landscape. While many of his images are entirely black and white, others are enhanced with bits or splashes of watercolor.

Please join us for light refreshments on Saturday, Jan. 6, to meet Kirk Neiberger and see his work.

We hope to see you there!
