Booty Mountain Arts

The art of Booty Mountain Arts is created from our own iconography, infused with art history, the history of the West, pop culture, and our own personal experiences.
As a husband and wife team, we are the sole creators of the oil paintings on ceramic slab. We both come up with our compositions through sketching and verbal brainstorming. Valerie is the creator of the ceramic slab which includes carving, relief sculpture, and incising to achieve a raised surface. She is also responsible for the firing of each piece.
After the work is fired Jonathan begins the oil painting process. He thins down his oil paints and applies the paint with brushes and rags, then starts to destoy each piece with sanding and scratching away the paint- allowing many layers to build up until he is satisfied with the finished image.
