Steve Snell, Painting Exhibition 
Gallery Talk & Reception - Dec. 3 | 4:30 p.m. 

Steve Snell wants adventure, or at least the image of one. He recently paddled and painted all 2,341 miles of the Missouri River in a canoe in search of art and once floated part of the Connecticut River in a couch boat in search of adventure. Snell’s work engages American history, mythology, and the image of the North American landscape. He has been an Artist-in-Residence at the Tallgrass National Preserve in Kansas, the Teton ArtLab in Wyoming, and along the Chilkoot Trail in Alaska and British Columbia, which was sponsored by the National Parks Service and Parks Canada.
