About Us

The Midnight Gallery currently represents two local artists, Kimbre and Maurice, featuring local Crested Butte scenes, and images from throughout the Gunnison National Forest. 

Maurice

He is working in the medium of photography, If you go through his images, you'll notice some aerial photography, and it's true, he flew right in there like he was playing a video game and captured the scenes he loved the best. His work is produced, right here in the Art Cabin, beautiful fine art photographs rated to be colorfast for the next two hundred years. He uses gorgeous, super-saturated inks on matte archival papers. His work is almost sold out, if you are into his work, use the contact section to let me know, that way I can notify you when his new work comes in. 

Midnight Gallery & The Art Cabin

Yes, we have a bit of a branding issue, because we are Midnight Gallery and Kimbre's Art Cabin. Think of the Midnight Gallery and the Art Cabin as two buildings on the same piece of land, under the same moon and stars. The real difference between the two is original works of art can be viewed and purchased here at www.MidnightGallery.com and reproductions can be found at www.KimbresArtCabin.Etsy.com some are traditional reproductions, artwork printed on stretched canvas, other items are more unusual, like the dresses and high top sneakers made from my images.

Kimbre

Currently has three bodies of work available here with a fourth on the way, find reproductions for all of them at www.KimbresArtCabin.Etsy.com 

• "Original SW Paintings" / "Celebrating the Desert" is her most recent body of work, acrylic paintings of the southwest. 

• "Art Photography ~ Rocky Mountains", features her first body of work, using alternative photography processes to produce her digital photographs. She has been hand-printing and painting this series for about fifteen years now. 

• "Original Fantasy Works" is her academic body of work that she has continued to work on after graduating with her BFA in Studio Arts. In production for approximately eleven years now. It's the proverbial kitchen sink of mediums, printmaking, illustration, painting, and alternative photography processes.

• Custom orders are up for discussion if I'm a good fit for your project. 

Originals

Because this site is full of original works of art, there is only one of everything, but not even that is as simple as it seems at first glance. Let me explain how various bodies of work are produced and what makes them, "original". 

• Layered processes are the most original of all the originals. It would be difficult to impossible to make these pieces again. An example of this would be intaglio over cyanotype.

• Hand-printed photographs that Kimbre has a negative for, so she can print them again, however, they won't be identical. Variations will occur due to various choices in art papers, print times, and palettes

• Acrylic paintings While it's not impossible to make another painting, the sequel painting never looks the same as the first. Kimbre always returns to the reference photo to paint a larger version of pieces that have sold.

• Maurice's work is one of a kind due to his decision to make it so. He does not enjoy working with the same image over and over again. So instead he chooses to produce a steady stream of editions of one. The only exception is his fabulous line of folded panoramic cards that will be coming back soon, you will have a chance to see his expansive library of images, featuring the landscape, wildlife, moods of the weather, contrast of seasons, a true wealth of great images.
