ABOUT THE ARTIST Despite art taking a back seat while raising her five children, Blanche knew in first grade that she was destined to become an artist. She grew up in Gillette, Wyoming which is where she lives and creates to this day. As a self-taught artist, she considers her artwork to be a voice to reflect her experiences and surroundings. Family, traditions, and that sense of belonging are depicted throughout her work as she uses bold brushstrokes in oils to create still-life paintings that inspire a universal feeling of nostalgia. Many public collections by Guernsey can be found in Wyoming, where she lives and creates today. The self-taught artist’s work can also be found in varying galleries and displays across the country. She is represented by AVA in Gillette, Wy, ART321 Gallery in Casper, WY, and is a long-time member of SAGE in Sheridan, WY. You can also find her pieces in the gift shop at the DAHL in Rapid City, SD. |
