Artist Bio - Spence Platt

Spencer Platt, a mixed media artist hailing from the heart of California, channels spirit of the West through his vibrant creations.  His work captures the grit and romance of life through vibrant colors and bold textures.  Platt’s work transcends the traditional boundaries of the western genre, blending his contemporary style with a nostalgic homage to the cowboy lifestyle.  The journey for him began with his love for country music and all things country western.  Country music has a heavy influence on his concepts and has provided the opportunity to collaborate with talented singers and songwriters.  Platt, appreciates the storytelling that goes into writing a great song and sees his art much like a lyric.  He strives to tell a story with each piece.  

 Just as Platt was beginning to search for galleries to display his work, the world shut down.  Determined to reach his audience in a unique way, he intertwined his love of nature and the outdoors with the passion his for art and set out traveling and adventuring throughout California finding beautiful places to display his work.  Using Instagram and Tiktok to document his journey from concept to finished displayed piece.  You can follow the art process on both social media platforms @spenceplatt.

 Then the world reopened and the opportunities opened to display his work in art shows, coffee shops and galleries.  Platt, has now been a member of an art collective in Half Moon, The Ocean Blue Vault, for the past year and a half and in this experience has he found inspiration and built friendships with his fellow artists.  Next up for Platt, he will be the guest artist at the Art Presence Art Center in Jacksonville Oregon for the month of November.  Stop by the gallery and see his work.
