Gallery Atmosphere When you visit a gallery, trust your gut. Do you feel comfortable in the gallery’s surroundings? Is the staff knowledgeable and willing to answer your questions? “Sometimes, new buyers feel intimidated when they go into galleries for the first time,” explains Hill. “Good galleries are aware of this and will try to put you at ease.” Remember that gallery owners are in the trade because they are passionate about art and are delighted to share their knowledge with you.

rizona Ranger Harry Wheeler stepped down from the train at Benson in 1906. The man he’d come to arrest opened hasty fire from two blocks away emptying his revolver. With disdain for the fast draw, Wheeler calmly drew the “big iron” from his hip returning deliberate shots. Stepping back aboard the train the lone ranger nodded, “My work here is done. I’m headed for Bisbee.” The train wends south along the San Pedro River to the lush farming hamlet of St. David. Did Harry stop a few minutes at the Gallery of Dreams to pick up a gift for his wife?

Monastery? How did an Arizona village get named for a Welsh saint? Mysteries of the desert defy easy answers. Highway 80 climbs into Tombstone Hills on its journey south to Bisbee passing by Boothill. On Allen St., cowboy and Indian legends are kept alive in fine art and jewelry at Arlene’s while gunfighters and stagecoaches pass on historic lanes. Highway 80 draws us on across desert, up a canyon past Escondido Falls and through the tunnel to Bisbee, a city frozen in late Victorian time awaiting the Ranger’s return. Bisbee, the Jewel of the Mule Mountains, clings to canyon walls wreathed in European charm. www. A ZColle c torsGuid e .com

allery of Dreams fulfills the vision of owners Tim and Karen Trask to present fine art in a friendly and positive environment. Located along Highway 80 in St. David, 7 miles south of Benson, Arizona, and 17 miles north of Tombstone, the very blue gallery is easy to spot. Gallery of Dreams represents over 50 local, national, and international artists working in a wide variety of styles and media. In addition to oil and acrylic paintings, the gallery exhibits jewelry, mixed media, leatherwork, fountains, and bronze and stone sculpture. Tim Trask’s studio adjoins the gallery and it is there he creates monumental historical bronzes such as John Reid, the “Father of American Golf,” and the Wyatt Earp sculpture “Stepping into Legend” in Tombstone, AZ. Another renowned sculptor, Misha Malpica, creates clay figures depicting wise and ancient spirits that embody the dignity and proud tribal traditions of Native

Americans. It has been said that she sculpts not only the person, but his spirit as well. Lil Leclerc, a self-taught oil painter and avid horsewoman, often paints plein airstyle in and around camp after a long day on horseback. Her landscapes and florals capture her love of the outdoors. Jane Ferguson defines herself as “…as an abstract figurative sculptor.” She believes that since “…clay is refined from the earth which has breathed life into it, it has an energetic quality even in its permanent, fired state.” Raised on a Nebraska farm, Joy Hartl has been interested in art all her life and has a deep appreciation for Nature. Through her landscapes and florals, she portrays her own personal reactions and feelings to the viewer. The work of these and many other talented artists can be seen at Gallery of Dreams or you can visit their website at www.agalleryofdreams.com and www.traskfineart.com.

Bisbee

t’s three o’clock and the smell of roasting coffee wafts across Main Street. At 5300’, the heady scent is ambrosia for flatlanders who suddenly make a one-eighty for the complimentary taste of Old Bisbee Roasters Coffee. This thriving company’s platform is a table loaded with brown bags of organic grown, whole bean coffee grown by small farmers from around the world and sold in Bisbee, as well as on their website. Their shop is an open air affair at the entrance of “The Alley”, a narrow walkway between Main Street and Subway. It’s this easy take on entrepreneurism that is as much a part of what gives Bisbee its personal charm as any of the fine art galleries and antique shops now open for business after the heyday of copper, gold and silver mining companies pulled out of town. It seems impossible to imagine this quiet little town as the bustling affair it once was, but take a walk through Bisbee’s Smithsonian affiliated museum and study the photos of

miners, their families, reputable business owners and redoubtable hustlers jostling, dodging wagons, horses and even a street car. Crowds aside, a century has changed Bisbee very little; it’s winding one lane roads still lead to quaint houses clinging to the edges of the mountain. Brewery Gulch still hosts sudsy bars where old timers and miners quenched their thirst on a Saturday night. You can get a list of bed and breakfast establishments at the Visitor’s Center in Copper Queen Plaza. Most of the inns that housed itinerant men of the old west have been renovated with tourism in mind. You can even stay in the purportedly haunted Copper Queen, or sit in the shade on their veranda, sip a cool drink and watch the day pass slowly by. Either way, Bisbee is a delight to discover for the first time or a return trip that one makes year after year. It’s shopping, entertainment, great food and cozy little places in which to have a quiet moment.

n Italy, belleza means “beautiful”. In Bisbee, Belleza stands for beautiful art in a beautiful setting helping a beautiful cause. Belleza represents the area’s finest artists. Artist commissions have included those from the Bellagio in Las Vegas, the Sedona Hilton, the Scottsdale Sheraton, and the Phoenix city transit system. Other honors Belleza artists have enjoyed are one-man shows in Tokyo and full-time representation in other major art centers of the West. Not only is there a long waiting list of artists hoping to be exhibited at Belleza, even other galleries express desire to have an association. Why is there such excitement surrounding Belleza? Because there is another facet of the gallery that enriches clients, their artists, and society as a whole: Unlike most galleries, Belleza is a non-profit organization. One hundred percent of the net profits from sales goes to benefit residents of Renaissance House, a program designed to help homeless women recover from abuse or substance addiction. William Spencer III is one of the artists represented by Belleza. His acclaimed work is part of important collections including the main lobby of the Historic

n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
Curtis Center in Philadelphia, the Tucson International Airport, the Sedona Hilton concierge center, and in community centers in Paradise Valley and Scottsdale. William is a pillar of the Belleza community and his work sells briskly. “Just as Belleza is the backbone of my art sales,” William explains, “I have come to realize that I am also part of the backbone of the gallery and what it stands for. This is an awesome responsibility and a great gift.” Gallery Manager Lou Anne SterbickNelson personally ensures a Belleza gallery experience. “We represent serious artists in a healing atmosphere,” Lou Anne says. “I invite you to visit us in Bisbee; it is well worth the trip.”

Main Gallery is located in the heart of Old Bisbee, a well known art community in Southeastern Arizona. Owner Cristina Plascencia opened the gallery in 1995 after falling in love with the small town’s history and charming size. 55 Main Gallery features fine art, jewelry, glass art, furniture, and photography by local artists. The unique clothing and accessories in the gallery boutique attract clients from around the world. Prominent in the gallery are the beautiful, up close and intimate, floral paintings of Bisbee artist Reva Shemanski. The gallery features her many large and oversized oil-on-canvas originals as well as smaller giclee reproductions. Of her work, Reva says, “My paintings are about the way light illuminates the life within. I tend to focus on small details that others perhaps overlook.” Glass artist, Kurumi Conley originally studied ceramics and textiles but found herself attracted to the transparent characteristics of fused glass, the colors, and the liquid illusion inherent in the material. 55 Main Gallery features Kurumi’s boldly colored, tightly-detailed bowls and plates. Her tri-sided towers make exceptional centerpieces when candlelit from within and her colorful sun catchers make affordable gifts and souvenirs.

ptimo Hatworks and Timeless Attire offers custom hats and leatherwear—all of which are expertly made by hand to last for decades. With regard to hats, Óptimo is one of only a few traditional milliners still in existence. Proprietor S. Grant Sergot painstakingly hand-shapes each one using vintage tools. “Historic equipment is the best for sculpting a hat by hand,” Grant explains, “but I use them to create contemporary looks for both casual or dress.” To make an Óptimo hat, Sergot starts with a hat body of either straw (hand-woven in Ecuador) or beaver felt (hand-crafted in Tennessee). He manually steams and shapes, teasing the hat body into the desired style and fitting the client’s specific head contours. Grant believes that an ideal hat fits both the head and the personality of the owner. For his line of “travel leathers”, Grant designs the entire collection and personally works with skilled leather artists from Ecuador to achieve his high standards of quality. “I chose Ecuadorian artisans because their tradition of craftsmanship is—bar none—the best in the world,” he says. Grant’s travel leathers offer maximum wardrobe flexibility: The jackets and vests look great duded-up for dress occasions yet remain perfectly at home in casual settings. With construction that includes thoughtful placement of snaps, closures, and pockets, these garments are appropriate for weekend jaunts and international travel alike. Prices are surprisingly affordable, with vests starting around $100 and jackets going up to $300. “I’m pleased to offer hats, vests, and jackets that surpass both functional and aesthetic needs,” Grant says. “As I like to say about the collection: To see it is to smile; to touch it is to feel good; to wear it is to know... Óptimo.” Óptimo Hatworks and Timeless Attire are located at 47 Main Street in Bisbee.

them. “People love beads,” Kate explains. “They are magical, with real ‘touch appeal’. You can wear a handmade bead with anything and not look overdressed.” Exploring bead artistry is part of a natural career progression for multitalented Kate, whose past endeavors include Shakespearean actress, acclaimed jewelry designer, and bead historian. Originally from Great Britain, Kate’s creative hub is now the artist mecca of Bisbee, a place she happily calls home after a lifetime of near-nomadic traveling. “There is peace here,” Kate says. “People greet each other with joy.” For Kate, beads reflect how she sees the world—as if the culmination of her entire life is in each bead. An avid learner herself, Kate is committed to teaching other bead artists through her instructional DVDs, freely sharing her knowledge with fellow jewelry makers to keep the craft alive: “Twenty years ago, there were only five glass beadmakers in the United States. Now there are about 3000.” For a captivating trip into the world of beadmaking, head to Kate’s bustling studio gallery and see for yourself how this ancient art form is preserved for future generations. “Glass beadmaking is an ancient occupation,” Kate says with pride. “Beads last thousands of years, and I have seeded mine all over the planet. My beads are everywhere from the bottom of the ocean to the Taj Mahal.”

orget laundry drying on the line. Disregard a breeze after a spring rain. The new benchmark for the word fresh is the Sam•Poe Gallery in Bisbee. Sam•Poe Gallery is the brainchild of husband and wife artists Poe Dismuke and Sam Woolcott. The two creatives work in different styles and media, yet enjoy a similar taste for innovation. Viewing the duo’s work together is like taking your senses for a high-speed joyride. Hanging on the walls of the gallery are Sam’s paintings, which pulse with juxtapositions of saturated color. She has few constraints when she paints, whether toward her palette or her media. “My work is highly experimental—anything goes!” Sam says. “If it makes a mark, I’ll use it.” Sam’s favorite subject matter can be found amongst buildings, fences, and staircases. As a former architecture student, she has a natural affinity for appealing angles. “I love structure and how space is perceived,” Sam says. Just as Sam brings form and color to the

Sam•Poe collection, Poe’s work provides the gallery with its improvisational spirit. His mechanical sculptures are Rube Goldberg-esque masterpieces that impart a subtle, but lasting, wit. “My work is funny, but not in a pratfall way,” explains Poe. “I like to call it ‘sneaky funny’ because the humor doesn’t hit you immediately.” Poe’s visual leg-pulling extends to the raw materials he uses in each sculptural device. Although his work may look like a clever assemblage of found objects, the artist actually creates every facet of his work by hand. “I fabricate each piece from new materials and patina the components to look and feel aged,” Poe says. Sam and Poe came to Arizona after fleeing the hectic 24-7 world of California’s Bay Area. “We chose Bisbee so that we could create more space in our lives,” Sam explains. “Our gallery is a perfect way for us to let people see something exhilarating and new.” Sam•Poe Gallery is located at 24 Main Street. www.sampoegallery.com.

e want to bring people together and offer a gathering place with shows and artist receptions,” says Maralyce Ferree, co-owner of the PanTerra Gallery. “We’re interested in featuring talented local artists and in helping build the art community here.” Since opening in 2006, PanTerra Gallery has indeed become a “gathering place” for friends and clientele. With monthly events and the “Tao of Photography” workshops that co-owner Chuck Feil facilitates, they are building community, especially on historic Brewery Ave. Before opening the gallery, Feil published aerial photography books and together the couple owned and operated Maralyce Ferree Clothing Design, designing and manufacturing women’s jackets and coats in Scarborough, ME. This business and artistic experience is evident throughout the PanTerra Gallery. “When we first saw Bisbee in 2003, we fell in love with it,” Chuck says. “We found and bought a house in one day!” It wasn’t until 2005, when the couple sold

their clothing company that they were able to move from Maine to Bisbee for the winters. “We bought the building and loved the idea of having a gallery in the street-level store-front property,” Maralyce says. “We thought it would be a great place to showcase Chuck’s photography, and we soon discovered that Bisbee has a wealth of talented local photographers,” she says. This artistic wealth is part of what makes the PanTerra Gallery so unique. “We love how people react after they enter the gallery,” Maralyce says. “They’re so complimentary.” With a wide variety of eclectic clothing, jewelry, handbags, accessories, scarves and photography, clients say that PanTerra Gallery is on their “must return to” list. Given the competition in the area, this is high praise. When asked where she sees the gallery heading, Maralyce says, “To The Moon! While we have quickly built a clientele of local, national and international collectors, our goal is to continue to update our eclectic mix and to contribute to the growth of the Bisbee arts community.”

City Insight: Tubac Tubac Festival of the A rts 5 0th A nniversary
E
very February, Tubac, Arizona is home to the Tubac Festival of the Arts: an art, craft, and music extravaganza sponsored by the Tubac Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of artists, craftspeople, and musicians participate, hailing from all over the United States and Canada. The festival began in 1960, and is the longest-running art show in the state.

A.D., followed by the Tohono O’odham and Pima tribes. The Spanish arrived in 1691 and established a fort called Presidio of San Ignacio de Tubac in 1752. The area gained independence from Spain in 1821, bringing Tubac under Mexican rule until 1853, when The Gadsden Purchase made the area part of the United States. Artist Dale Nichols established the Tubac Artists School in 1948, which begat the area’s current manifestation as a thriving artist community. February weather in Tubac is heavenly, with mild, sunny daytime temperatures in the 60s and low-70s—perfect weather for enjoying the festival’s outdoor venue. If you would like to stay overnight at one of Tubac’s hotels or bed and breakfasts, be sure to make your reservations in advance as the town attracts many out-of-towners during the festival. The Tubac Festival of the Arts runs from February 4 - 8, 2009. For more information please visit www.tubacaz.com.

Purcell’s G alle r ie s o f Fi ne A r t T he Paintings of Roy P urcell
W
hen Roy Purcell was a youth in the mid-1960s, he left grad school determined to explore the implacable creative forces welling up in his soul. After landing in the mining community of Chloride, Arizona, he created a series of 75’ tall murals on the granite mountainside. “I heard the voice of the desert,” says Roy. “I was creating the most powerful images and profound poetry at that time.” After Roy’s creative whirl in Chloride, he moved to Las Vegas where he lived and painted for 40 years. Sin City was professionally lucrative for the artist, but in the early 2000s he began to feel the gnawing need for reinvention yet again. After weighing many options, Roy and his wife, Beverly, chose the desert Eden of Tubac as the stage for their new life. “I am completely a desert person,” Roy says. “I adore it here. My studio looks out

over the Santa Rita Mountains and the Santa Cruz valley—I can see birds, rabbits, coyotes, and javelinas. It is like a perfect museum.” Roy takes his desert inspiration and concentrates it into his insightful acrylic paintings of naturalist and mystical themes. Roy calls his work “emotional realism,” a term he coined to describe the passion he imbues into each piece. “I learn so much about myself with each painting,” says Roy. After a lifetime of painting, Roy has developed an enviable automaticity to his artistic endeavors: the artist performs as if his talent was channeled through him rather than of him. “When I work, I don’t intellectualize what I’m doing,” Roy explains. “My painting is really more like a dance, I just feel moved, and the artwork comes.”

We are pleased to introduce you to three of the Purcell Gallery artists: Ron Mulligan Mosaic Wood Bowls Ron develops his homage to Native American pottery and baskets by puzzling together hundreds of precisely-fitted wooden pieces then meticulously turning the pieces with a lathe. “Having had the privilege of living in the Southwest all of my life, I’ve always been intrigued by the culture and art of the Native Americans of this region,” Ron says. ”Exploring the petroglyphs and pottery shards left behind by these ancient peoples, contemplating the mysteries behind these symbols and their origins is very intoxicating to me. Incorporating these shapes and the symbols into my vessels is my passion: the wood my teacher.” Cheryl Weinfurtner Transparent Watercolors Cheryl’s hallmark is her watercolor series of desert flora.

to tease out details often overlooked with the naked eye. “It was after my first visit to the Sonoran Desert that I traded my technical pencils for watercolor brushes,” says Cheryl. “After my flight landed, I drove directly for the desert floor. Monsoon skies were turbulent and dark; lightning was crashing down. As the clouds started to break, double rainbows arched above; the Sun burned thru openings in the sky. All around me the desert was awakening with wildflowers and swelling cactus buds. That moment I realized that this is the place where I belong.” Barbara Roeming Abstract Acrylics Viewing Barbara’s abstract acrylic and collage paintings are certain to elicit emotions from within. “Always, I’m trying to address feelings,” says Barbara. “Not everyone feels the same thing when looking at a work of art. The viewer then has a piece of art that is theirs alone with their own personal feelings. A lustrous part of our humanity is the ability the have feelings.”

Femin i n e M y s tiq u e Ar t Ga l l e ry featuring the watercolors of Sherry Darrah
S
herry Darrah became a watercolor painter by chance. A native Californian, Darrah and her husband moved to Arizona in 2001. Surrounded by the beauty of the desert, Darrah was inspired to take a painting class. “I originally wanted to learn to paint in acrylics, but the only class that was available was a watercolor class. So I tried watercolors just for fun,” she says. “When I discovered how difficult watercolors were, I was intrigued and knew I had to master them. I’m still trying,” Darrah laughs. How fortuitous that decision was. Darrah’s paintings are whimsical and energetic southwestern landscapes that capture the often-unbelievable colors of the Sonoran desert and its wildlife. “Nature really inspires me,” she says. “The combination of colors in a simple plant, or in an animal’s eyes is amazing. I try to recreate those colors and to make them burst out in my paintings.” While she may be a relative newcomer to watercolors, Darrah’s no novice when

it comes to art. She’s been drawing her entire life. As a child, she spent time drawing with her grandfather, who was a cartoonist. But amazingly, this talented artist is mostly self-taught “Other than a few college classes in fine and graphic art, I’ve had no formal training as an artist,” she says. Early in her career she focused on colored pencil drawings and cartoons. In 2000 she designed a logo that represented “Diversity,” for a City of San Diego contest and won first prize. The logo was used on programs and t-shirts throughout San Diego. Despite her accolades, Darrah doesn’t take herself too seriously. A former dispatcher for the San Diego police and fire departments, Darrah learned firsthand that life is too short, a lesson that’s reflected in her work. “My work is playful,” Darrah says. “Life is serious enough. I believe in having fun and I love playing with color. If my work makes someone smile and forget their problems, even just for a moment, I am doing the right thing.”

ogoway’s Turqouise Tortoise Gallery in Tubac invites you to a three artist show on November 8th and 9th, 2008. The gallery will feature three southwestern artists of note: Charles Pabst, Doug Braithwaite and Christin Wolf. On November 8th from 1-5 p.m., there will be an artists’ reception with all three artists present. Charles Pabst started painting at 12 when his artist grandmother gave him his first formal lesson. He explains, “I was 13 years old when she passed away and she left me her paints. I had always enjoyed doing drawings and murals, but after I had the paint set, I started painting more.” In vivid southwestern landscapes or European churches and markets, Charles Pabst explores the light and beauty of his surroundings. “I’d like my viewers to think about the awe-inspiring majesty of nature, the colors and friendliness of the city and its lights, or the contemplative tranquility of the pastoral landscapes of New Mexico, Arizona and all of the West,” he says.

Painter Doug Braithwaite tries to capture the rhythm of life. “Painting feels like composing and playing music. I look for rhythm and tempo created by the geometry of space. I think of tone and pitch when I work out the color and value relationships. I think of interpretation and feeling as I use my tools to manipulate those relationships.” Braithwaite is interested in how paintings speak to our subconscious triggers. “A certain color could mean that it is going to rain, or that it is going to be hot, or that if you dig here you might find water,” he says. “It might also have something to do with the way that things grow. I think that there is a kind of rhythm inside us that explains why we like a kind of music. Paintings have that same kind of rhythm.” Jeweler Christin Wolf has been working with Southwest jewelry design for over 30 years now. Hand crafted in their Albuquerque Old Town studio Wolf’s jewelry contains amazing colored stones from around the world that are set in solid sterling silver or 14k gold.

by Samantha R uckman
P
ainter Carlos A. Lopez has been an artist as long as he can remember. “At grammar school the nuns would ask me to produce the nativity scene on the chalkboard,” Lopez says. “I have always excelled in art classes and always had the desire to learn as much as I could about art.” But Lopez’s path to becoming a full-time artist was a long one. At the age of eighteen he enlisted in the U.S. Army and was sent to Verona, Italy as a Military Policeman. “It was a two-year-long dream assignment,” Lopez says. “I was awed by all the magnificent beauty and art that I encountered over there and it had a lasting influence on me.” After he completed his military service, Lopez moved to California, married his high school sweetheart and landed a job in the art department at Hughes Aircraft. While working for Hughes, he attended the Art Center of Los Angeles and Chouinard Art Institute. It wasn’t until he retired from the position of Corporate Art Director at Hughes that Lopez began to paint full time. With roots in design, illustration and fine arts, Lopez has created a style all his own. His paintings are awash in Southwestern color, texture and a delight for the interplay between light and design. Viewing his work is truly a unique experience. “I want to
58
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
create excitement. I want the viewer to participate and interact with my paintings,” Lopez explains. This specific combination of skills and excitement has made him one of the Southwest’s leading artists. Lopez’s paintings can be also found in a wide variety of corporate offices as well as in the homes of discerning collectors. In addition, twelve of his portraits of early astronomers were displayed in the Exploring the Planets Gallery of the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institution. Despite his long history with art and design, when it comes to art, Lopez says he’s still learning and growing. “My work is always evolving,” he says. “I feel that I will forever be learning about art!”

t the north end of Camino Otero St. in Tubac Village, Cobalt Gallery and Clay Hands represent the diversity and magic of art itself. After graduating from the Kansas City Art Institute, Clay Hands’ owner, Diane Lisle, became a potter, moved to Tubac and set out to create the best clay gallery in southwestern Arizona. With its wide selection of work from many fine potters, Clay Hands is well on its way. “I call Clay Hands the ice cream shop of pottery,” Lisle says. “I keep bringing in new flavors in the form of new artists and styles.” When asked about the name Clay Hands, Lisle laughs. “Whenever people came up to me I had clay on my hands,” she says. “It was a natural.” The talent for art is also clearly natural.

a degree in Arts Management, Lisle’s daughter, Mesia Huttner, joined up with Lisle and created her own unique art gallery next door. Cobalt Gallery is warm and welcoming. “I strive to create a space that’s comfortable and I choose art that does that as well,” says Huttner. Through its eclectic collection of quality glass, ceramics and paintings, Cobalt Gallery reveals Huttner’s enthusiasm and talent for art. “I love owning the gallery because I get to meet so many interesting people and I love talking about the work,” Huttner says. Individually, each of these galleries is full of work that’s not only beautiful, but also interesting. Together, this mother and daughter team has created a pair of galleries that are a must-see.

A
new Native American Art Gallery and Village opened last year in the heart of historic Tubac. Tohono Village has become a favorite destination for everyone that appreciates authentic Native American art. Tohono Village is wholly-owned and operated by the Tohono O’odham Nation. As such, the gallery features the finest selection of Tohono O’odham baskets in unique designs, sizes and forms, from traditional to contemporary. Other available art includes paintings, sculptures, pottery, and hand-made jewelry. The gallery selects only the highest caliber of artists. “We represent some of the best artists in the field who create museumquality work. In fact, many artists are featured at the Santa Fe Indian Market,” says Gallery Manager Rhonda Wilson, Tohono O’odham and herself a 1st place ribbon winner at the 2007 Santa Fe Indian Art Market. Browsing through the gallery can satisfy your interest in learning more about Native American art and culture. “We have a personal relationship with every Native artist we represent,” says Rhonda. “This means that we can explain the artist’s spirit and techniques to our customers.” The gallery operates under a fair trade and pricing philosophy, so collectors can be assured of authenticity and benefits

to Native communities. Tohono Village gives the artists a reliable source of income in exchange for their traditional and contemporary art. “We feel that one of the greatest things we can do as an organization is to make it possible for the artists to continue to create,” says Rhonda. While at the Village, make sure to stop across the courtyard to visit the gift shop for more Native American-made art. You’ll find clothing, prints, cards, music, food and many more items for all ages. The newest item released in Fall 2008 is a Pendleton blanket with a “Man in the Maze” design.

K ar in New by G al le ry The Monumental Sculptures of the Karin Newby Gallery
T
ubac’s beloved Karin Newby Gallery has opened a sculpture garden, the likes of which have rarely been seen in the Southwest. Spanning two acres of desert landscape, the garden is an idyllic way to spend an afternoon. You will delight in seeing over 100 monumental sculptures in the rich xeriscaped setting. “We have folks that take a quick spin through, and others that spend hours,” says gallery owner Kim Roseman. “We even have locals who come by every day to enjoy the garden’s ambiance. It is a unique place in Tubac.”

Kim and her gallery director, LeRoy Doyle, spent months readying the garden for the public. They insisted on preserving every tree, working the garden paths around the indigenous mesquites. Keeping with their natural aesthetic, LeRoy built pathway walls using stones from the land and made fences from trimmed tree branches. Inside the garden is a real-life labyrinth. Unlike a maze, which is designed to be a puzzle, a labyrinth’s purpose is to allow people to serenely walk and think. “Labyrinths are metaphors for the journey through life,” says Kim. “Walking through one gives you a chance to reflect.” Kim wanted offer visitors a chance to see more than traditional sculptural styles. “Seeing ultra-contemporary sculpture is akin to tasting exotic food for the first time,” she explains. “Sometimes you aren’t sure if you like it until you try it several times. We want to give our guests a chance to experience something new.” Even if you aren’t in the market for a 3,000 pound bronze, the Karin Newby Gallery has more portable art available inside the gallery. “In addition to our monumental pieces, we have all sizes of work, down to one-inch-square ‘wearable sculpture’ jewelry,” Kim says. The Karin Newby Gallery and Sculpture Garden is located at 19 Tubac Road. www.newbygallery.com.

The Siscos’ work is made exclusively from North American hardwoods including birdseye maple, black walnut, cherry, and mesquite. “These are all hard, tightgrained woods,” explains Christine. “We only use wood from trees that provide food products, so all our creations are non-toxic and safe.” Christine and Ron only use Sleeping Beauty turquoise for their inlay. The Siscos choose this stone for its tranquil blue color and lack of black matrix. “We only want the pure color of turquoise next to our woods for maximum contrast in the finished piece,” Christine says. With this marriage of wood and turquoise, Christine and Ron have developed a sophisticated line of items for the home.

ld Presidio Traders, in Tubac, carries a wide variety of American Indian handmade jewelry, pottery, rugs, baskets, Kachinas, Zuni fetishes and artifacts. Old Presidio Traders boasts the largest selection of quality reservationpawned jewelry in Southern Arizona. An item is considered to be ‘dead pawn’ when the contract between the trader and the person pawning the item is up or unpaid. Sometimes, pawn is used to convert artwork and possessions into cash, but other times it’s used in the same way that a safe deposit box would be, or for safe keeping in between religious ceremonies. Because this pawned merchandise is valuable to its owners, only a very small percentage of pawn goes unredeemed. This makes dead pawn items among the most highly sought after Native American jewelry on the market today. Owner, Garry Hembree, only buys pawn featuring

sterling silver or 14k gold with turquoise, coral and other gemstones. Old Presidio Traders actively supports Native American craftsman. They employ a full-time Navajo couple, Monroe and Lillie Ashley, to make jewelry exclusively for the store. “We supply them with the silver and stones and they use traditional methods to create unique pieces,” Hembree says. “We pay them for what they do on a piece work basis. Customers can bring in their own stones and have something designed especially for them.” Old Presidio Traders has an entire case devoted to the Ashley’s jewelry. Old Presidio Traders are longtime members of the Indian Arts and Crafts Association and have been in Tubac since 1982. They deal directly with many Native American artists including: Navajo artist Thomas Singer, Hopi artists Bernie and Anderson Koinva, and Doris Coriz from the Santa Domingo Pueblo.

the monthly event. “We always have a featured artist showing during ArtWalk,” says Deborah Tansey, owner of Mountain Shadow Gallery. “We think it is a great opportunity for people to meet artists and see brand new works.” Community response to ArtWalk has been terrific. “We usually have over 100 people enjoying the art, the wine, and the ambiance,” says Diana Madaras, owner of the Madaras Gallery. “Even in the summer, it is a festive event.” Local artists are also drawn to the ArtWalk scene. “Many of our artists—even those not featured in a special showing— come out to meet the public during ArtWalk,” Deborah says. ArtWalk is the perfect activity for your out-of-town visitors. “This is one of the few areas in Tucson where fine art is concentrated,” says Deborah. “You can bring your guests to ArtWalk and they can see the best art Tucson has to offer all in one place.” Max Mikesell, owner of the Max Gallery, agrees: “In my opinion, this is the best gallery event in and around Tucson. People can enjoy top-of-the-line artwork and have a marvelous time.” ArtWalk is on the second Thursday of each month from 5 to 7pm at Gallery Row and 6 to 8 pm at Plaza Colonial. Gallery Row is located on the northeast corner of Campbell and Skyline and Plaza Colonial is on the southwest corner.

Covi n gton G alle ry Featuring Fine 19th and 20th Century American and European Art
C
ovington Gallery’s selection of 19th and 20th century American and European paintings, watercolors and prints, provides fine art seldom available to collectors in the Southwest. The Gallery also provides fine art appraisals, framing, consignment services conservation and restoration services, for paintings and works on paper. Gallery owner, Wayne Kielsmeier, has a wealth of knowledge about American and European art of this period and finds that the history behind the works adds to the joy of collecting. Wayne is a consummate researcher, unearthing as much artist information as he can for every piece he acquires or brokers for a client. “I find as much information as possible because it adds a dimension of historical and intrinsic value to the art,” he says. Wayne welcomes the opportunity to share his expertise with people who have an interest in fine art. He frequently advises people who are unsure of the value of the

art they have and the gallery doors are open for courtesy walk in evaluations on a daily basis. A visit to Covington Gallery is satisfying and low-key. Wayne strives to create a friendly atmosphere where people are comfortable asking questions about the work, the artist, and the background behind the art. Wayne feels satisfaction in knowing that when a client leaves with a painting, they also leave with a part of American or European history. Part of the reason Wayne is able to create a pleasant art experience is because he understands what it is like to be a collector. He opened his gallery 17 years ago to take his passion for art full-time, walking away from a successful career in the health-care sector to do so. Today, you can find Wayne in the gallery, ready to help you learn more about fine art. You can also see a sample of the Covington collection online at www.covingtongallery.com.

hen you think of a loved one, do you ponder their clothes or their hairstyle? Or does something more hard to define come to mind? Master portrait artist Lisa Larrabee believes that a painted portrait can do more than simply record mere externals; it can reveal the spark within. “Often portraits or photographs seem only to document what someone wore or what they were doing on a particular day,” Lisa explains. “My goal is to create works of art that capture the essence of their personality.” Fittingly, Lisa’s process begins where photographic portraiture ends, by taking snapshots. During the photo shoot, Lisa takes hundreds of images, looking for those where the character of the subject comes through. Why does she take so many? “We get more representative photos after we’ve been at it awhile,” says Lisa. “At first, people are really aware of the camera, but then they sort of forget about it and let their personality emerge.” Throughout the whole process, Lisa carefully observes the individual’s traits, and then artistically interprets these intangible data points. Lisa also takes commissions to create posthumous
88
n

portraits in someone’s memory. “I prefer to have multiple reference images and a conversation about the person to get a well-rounded visual in my mind,” she explains. Although portraits are meaningful to those who commission them, Lisa’s work also stands alone as fine art. This is especially true of the artist’s conceptual “landscape portraits”, where Lisa superimposes a portrait onto a scenic background. In these works, the she juxtaposes images from the foreground and the background, creating a rulebending portrait experience. Lisa is awestruck by the importance of creating family heirlooms. “I am providing more than a portrait,” she says with gratification. “I create a narrative of someone’s life.”

G al lery W e s t Navajo Moqui S erapes: Historic B eauty U nveiled
n
by A . Steeby
S
ince enthusiasts have been passionately collecting Native American art for over 200 years, you might think that there is little in the realm left to discover. Not true, according to David West, Indian art expert and owner of Tucson’s Gallery West. Navajo “Moqui” serapes are early striped blankets created with the best of Navajo craftsmanship yet have only been recognized by the most die-hard collectors. Moquis are full-sized blankets that were inspired by Spanish weavings introduced to the Navajo around the 1600s. The earliest Moqui serapes were woven using alternating stripes of natural black or brown, natural white, and indigodyed wools. After the 1860s, the Navajo weavers began incorporating red wool in the form of Bayeta and Saxony yarns, and started using terraces and serrations in their designs. Oddly enough, even though all major Native American museums have Moquis in their collections, these blankets have been largely undervalued by the average Indian art collector. This hidden gem quality is precisely why David collects the blankets himself. “I think there has been a huge oversight with regard to Moqui blankets in the Indian art collecting world,” David
90
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
explains. “Although Chief’s blankets are considered the ‘classic’ Navajo style, Moqui serapes are every bit as wonderful and representative of classic Navajo blanketmaking art.” In terms of a centuries-old collectible, Moquis are a bargain. The $10,000 to $85,000 price tag is less than a third of the cost of other classic and late classic serapes. “I think Moquis may be the last true value out there in terms of Native American textiles,” David says. “They are one of my favorites of all the Navajo weaving styles.” Gallery West is located at 6420 N. Campbell Avenue in Tucson. You may also visit the gallery online at www.indianartwest.com or call David directly at (520) 529-7002.

hen Deborah and Mike Tansey first visited Tucson in 1997, they were amazed. “We fell in love with the Sonoran desert,” Deborah says. “We loved art and the dynamic nature of the art business and we knew we wanted to bring that to the southwest.” Open in September 2005, Mountain Shadow Gallery features an eclectic mix of contemporary art in their showroom. As a former environmental consultant for over twenty years, Deborah also has a soft spot for regional art that captures the beauty of southwestern nature. The work in this gallery, while varied, reveals a true respect for nature and for the beauty of the outdoors. Stroll through the gallery and you’ll see why the Tanseys’ enthusiasm for art is contagious. “Our favorite thing about the gallery is seeking new artists and preparing exhibitions,” Deborah says. “We hope that the art we carry gives visitors a sense of excitement for what’s around
94
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
the corner. We’d also like them to feel a deep sense of appreciation for the range of art in our gallery.” The Tanseys’ appreciation of art extends to the written word too. Mike still works as a successful publisher even as he maintains a blog about the gallery that allows viewers to catch up on the latest gallery news, find out what events are coming up and get all kinds of background information on the artists in the gallery. Just as their taste in art, the blog is very contemporary. When asked what the future holds for the Mountain Shadow Gallery, Deborah replies, “We’re looking for opportunities to expand our presence and get involved with another gallery outside the Tucson area that we can work with during the off season.” You can visit the The Mountain Shadow Gallery on Gallery Row, 3001 E.

ilverbell Trading Company invites you to come in and see the work of four master tufa cast jewelers: Alex Beeshligaii, Anthony Lovato and the team of Steve LaRance and Marian Denipah. Alex Beeshligaii is a lapidary who crafts beautifully rich Navajo/Dine silver jewelry that is inlaid with natural materials ranging from spiny oyster shell, natural turquoise and lapis to fossilized walrus ivory, ironwood and opal in micro-mosaic patterns. Born on the Navajo reservation in the Klagetoh Basin area, Beeshligaii has since become what he calls an “uban dineh,” living in Alaska and exploring the western states. His influences range from “the mundane essence of life to the awesome natural high one feels during spiritual serenity” and this range is apparent in his work. A passionate artist and supporter of environmental issues, he hopes that people see this passion in his work. “I like to change things so I try to view life from other angles and from other times so I can leave the woes of life behind and gain wisdom.” Anthony Lovato’s tufa-cast jewelry follows in his grandfather’s tradition of sandcast work. He is influenced by his training in Hopi pottery, which taught him how to use positive and negative space in his jewelry designs. With its deep castings, free hand designs, and 100% natural turquoise and
100

gemstones, Lovato’s jewelry rivals that of the old masters, Charles Lolama and Preston Monongye (Monongya). When asked about the cloudlike silver that is attached to some of the larger pieces of jewelry, Lovato explains, “Those are casting remnants. I leave them there both for aesthetics and as proof that the jewelry was tufa cast and not investment cast, which is a process that is used to mass produce jewelry.” Lovato’s jewelry is currently being featured at The Museum of Natural History in New York City. The husband and wife team of Steve Wikviya LaRance and Marian Denipah work both together and individually, creating jewelry, paintings and sculptures. The LaRance/Denipah tufa cast jewelry is intricate in design and flawlessly executed. The team gathers the tufa from the Hopi Reservation. “I was able to find the site where Charles Loloma used to get his tufa,” says LaRance. “At first, we were inspired by work from masters like Loloma and Preston Monongye. We studied the history of cast work and old techniques for inspiration. Now, we are also inspired by Aztec, Inca and Egyptian jewelry.” The LaRance/Denipah jewelry incorporates traditional native designs such as petroglyphs, katsina figures and water designs, along with precious and semiprecious stones, to create pieces that resemble sculptures. “I think of jewelry as little paintings in stone,” says Denipah. “But jewelry is more graphic; we use texture and design and that gives the jewelry even more depth.”

yearlong centennial celebration to commemorate the 100th birth date of renowned Arizona artist Ted DeGrazia opens in 2009 with a retrospective exhibition, “DeGrazia: 100 Years, 100 Works”. According to curator Kristine Peashock, the exhibition showcases 100 significant examples of the artist’s work. “It will be arranged chronologically and aims to show viewers the wide range of mediums and styles DeGrazia worked in throughout his extraordinary career.” Old favorites that have sold thousands of reproductions include “Los Niños”, the 1957 oil painting that was reproduced into a best-selling UNICEF card in 1960. Also featured are DeGrazia’s reverent depictions of Native American culture, and lesserknown artwork, most of which will be on public exhibition for the first time. Included will be DeGrazia’s earlier works, such as oils from his seminal oneman show at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City in 1942 after his internship

with mural masters Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. The display also showcases his innovative experiments with ceramics in the 1950s, the height of his commercial success in the 1960s and 1970s, and his later interest in printmaking techniques in the early 1980s. Executive director Lance Laber says, “It’s our goal to reacquaint the public with DeGrazia and to introduce this Arizona legend to a new generation of fans.” The 10-acre adobe complex will celebrate DeGrazia Centennial Weekend June 13 & 14 and the date of DeGrazia’s birth—Flag Day—in 1909 in the mining camp of Morenci in Territorial Arizona. More than 25 years after his passing, the artist’s masterpiece—DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun—is on the National Register of Historic Places and draws thousands of visitors yearly from around the world.

re you a fan of early turquoise and silver? Morning Star Traders in Tucson has one of the finest collections of old pawn jewelry available in the Southwest. Morning Star is owned by Native American art expert Rick Rosenthal and his wife, Mary Beth. The Rosenthals handselect only the finest 1890’s to pre-1940s pawn jewelry for their collection. Pawn jewelry is so named because it was placed as collateral at a trading post in exchange for cash. When the pawn went “dead”, so to speak, it became available for sale. “These are special, early pieces that were worn by the Indians themselves,” says Rick. The Morning Star collection includes very rare pieces, including those made with ingot silver. “Ingot silver was crafted by melting flatware or silver coins, both American coinage and Mexican pesos,”

Rick explains. “The melted silver was poured into a sandstone mold and cooled. Then the piece was hammered by hand until it was finished.” Morning Star also works directly with a handful of expert Navajo silversmiths, many of whom have been creating fine jewelry for the gallery for over 20 years. These artists employ historic methods to honor the look and feel of early jewelry, an ideal option for clients who have harderto-find sizes. “Most vintage bracelets are between 5 1⁄2” and 6 1⁄2”, says Mary Beth. “If you need a different size, you can find a nice, traditionally-inspired bracelet here.” Morning Star Traders also has a sizeable selection of antique Navajo blankets and rugs, historic Southwestern baskets, modern Tohono O’odham baskets (purchased directly from the artists), historic and contemporary Pueblo pottery, and early Spanish Colonial furniture.

That’s the day when downtown Phoenix hosts First Fridays, an art walk with a Bohemian twist. During First Fridays, thousands of people flood downtown galleries and studios— ready to bask in the non-corporate feel of art direct from the source. The fiesta occurs around the formerly dog-eared area of Grand and 7th Avenues, now home to a legion of creatives who have revitalized the neighborhoods with galleries, studios, and art spaces. Art is everywhere during the event. Artists who live in the area will even empty

iane Barbee says her paintings are like her alter ego. In that case, the artist’s other persona must like to dance. Every one of Diane’s paintings sambas with Technicolor motion, whether it is a floral, an animal, or even a Victorian house. “I focus on the movement inherent in all of my subjects,” says Diane. “Nothing I paint is ever static.” Diane is a dedicated painter with a Herculean work ethic. Raising five children and three dogs doesn’t deter her from devoting over forty hours a week to her studio. She also remains a dedicated student, particularly learning from the works of Caravaggio and Matisse. With every new painting, Diane’s work evolves. Her latest paintings have crispness and detail level unlike anything else she has created before. The artist’s driving force is the interplay between the color, the texture, and most importantly, the activity inherent in each scene. “You can definitely say my paintings are bold,” she says. Diane prefers to work with acrylics to achieve her results, as she finds that the medium’s fast-drying qualities encourage her to paint with spontaneity and intuition. “My goal is for a person to come around a corner, see one of my paintings, and feel compelled to stop and look at it,” Diane explains. The artist has a fervent belief that art has the power to uplift the viewer. “My life, my children, and my husband are such
120
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
blessings,” Diane says. “I want to share my joy by creating art that helps people to smile.” You can meet Diane in her studio at the acclaimed Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale, January 17th through March 29th, 2009. She also shows with Jane Hamilton Fine Art in Tucson and Sunrise Gallery in Wickenburg. You may see more of Diane’s work online at www.dianebarbee.com.

ho knew, in July 1988, that the small exhibition at Phoenix Sky Harbor’s airport was the precursor for what today is one of the largest airport art programs in the nation? That first exhibition, called Dental Impressions, featured artwork and artifacts on the theme of teeth. Precipitated by a request to show student artwork promoting dental sealants, the exhibition included contemporary sculpture from local artists, a dental chair from the Arizona Historical Museum, obsolete dental tools from private collectors, and dental history and trivia. The number of exhibitions has grown throughout the years, continuing to focus on Arizona’s unique artistic and cultural heritage, while engaging, entertaining and educating the traveling public. Today,

A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
airport visitors may view exhibitions in 25 locations, in six buildings, at three airports (Phoenix Sky Harbor and its two auxiliary airports, Phoenix Deer Valley and Phoenix Goodyear). Themed exhibitions highlight fine art either by itself or in combination with historic or scientific objects. Treasures from museums, artists, galleries and collectors welcome visitors to the community and create a sense of pride for residents. Exhibitions reflect exciting cultural events such as the celebration of 100 years of powered flight, the Super Bowl, a national ceramic-art symposium, and the anniversaries of state and national park systems. Whatever the topic, each exhibition provides a rich, rewarding journey, whether you’re traveling or not.

ractical Art is a very different kind of art gallery. It only represents local Arizona artisans who produce quality, functional goods, made out of natural materials. The gallery offers a full range of items, but only the utilitarian: kitchenware, furniture, clothing, garden items, and jewelry, as well as handmade paper, cards and bath products. Everything in the gallery is unique and locally made by hand – nothing is mass-produced – so any purchase from Practical Art is distinctive and memorable. It is known as the place to find gifts that are sure to please! The gallery is also committed to social and environmental responsibility in many ways. This unusual gallery is a response to the unfortunate prevalence of oneuse, throw-away items in today’s society. Practical Art’s clients understand that a quality life experience is informed by the ordinary. The store’s philosophy is that
124
n
A r i zo na Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
Beve r ly Lehn ha r dt
“the items we touch every day, in particular, should be lasting, meaningful, beautiful and locally-made with sustainable materials.” Just a few of the artisans represented by Practical Art are Jeff and Marnie Brookins (fused glass plates, bowls, candle votives, wind chimes, and jewelry); Paul Porter (wood turned bowls, pens and rolling pins made from locally found wood); Katherine Farr (rugs, table runners, hats, shawls, and sweaters which are knit, sewn, or woven); Khandra D. Howard (hand built ceramics); and Vickie Morrow (tables and mirrors enhanced with beautiful handmade tile designs). Practical Art is located at 5070 North Central Avenue in Phoenix, which is 1 ½ blocks north of Camelback Road on the west side of the street. The gallery also regularly hosts events and craft demonstrations with free refreshments. For information about upcoming events, go to www.practical-art.com or call the gallery at 602-264-1414.

ave Venell has always loved art, history and the military. After spending time in the Air Force and working as a freelance artist, Dave found his niche in sculpture. Dave said, “It seemed to be a natural fit for me to combine my passion for art and interest in history.” When he unveiled his sculptures at his first art show, he was thrilled at the response his work elicited. “I did my first show to get feedback on the direction I was taking my work,” Dave said. “I was
126
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
blown away by the emotional reaction the sculptures received. I had men and women looking at the pieces and getting tears in their eyes. I knew right then that I was on the right track.” Dave refers to his works as “snapshots in time.” He particularly delights in portraying participants of obscure battles that do not get the notoriety of the more famous conflicts. He said, “One of my sculptures depicts a Marine in the Bougainville Campaign. A Vietnam Vet came up to me at a show and thanked me. He told me: ‘My father was at Bougainville. No one ever mentions Bougainville and how tough it really was there!’” Every one of Dave’s sculptures is a minihistory lesson. He is an avid history buff and spends hours researching the uniforms, weapons, and gear that he incorporates into his sculptures. “My clients will try to test me on the historical details,” Dave laughs. “I would definitely hear about it if I got something wrong.” Dave is also branching out into different themes, including his pin up/nose art girls and some contemporary sculptures as well. For more information on Dave’s sculptures, or his new and upcoming work, please contact him directly at (602) 448-3354 or by e-mail at davenell@cox.net. www.davenell.com.

id you know that buying through a traditional gallery is only one method for acquiring fine art? Wellheeled collectors seeking to maximize their investment know of another method: acquire pieces from art resale galleries. Corinne Cain, owner of the SavvyCollector.com, seeks to make this little-known art buying method available to a wider audience of art lovers. Corinne’s uses her 30+ years of art appraisal experience to attract fine pieces from private collectors, offering them for sale at prices significantly below traditional gallery prices. “I named my business ‘Savvy Collector’, because that is exactly what my clients are,” explains Corinne. “They know that I can offer them high quality art and antiques at advantageous prices.” SavvyCollector.com offers paintings, drawings, fine prints, sculpture and Native American art of all kinds. Seasoned collectors usually bookmark her website to stay abreast of the newest merchandise. For novice buyers, Corinne offers extensive educational opportunities, including online glossaries of terms and bibliographies of reference texts. A key benefit of working with Corinne is that she personally researches each piece for authenticity and quality. Designated as a Fine Arts appraiser since 1982 through the American Society of Appraisers, she knows the subtleties that make a piece
128

of art extraordinary. “Everything I offer for sale is thoroughly documented and extensively photographed, so my clients can be completely familiar with a piece before they buy,” says Corinne. “I stand behind my artwork 100%.” In addition to her love of helping people acquire fine art, Corinne also has a passion for helping animals. Part of the proceeds from SavvyCollector.com are used to fund non-profit community organizations supporting animal causes. Please visit the online gallery at www.SavvyCollector.com. If you have questions or would like to consign art from your own collection, feel free to call Corinne directly at 602-906-1633.

rt on Boston is more than just a gallery. It is a place where art comes alive. Whether it be taking a hands-on art class, watching the artists work in the onsite studios, or trying on wearable silk art, Art on Boston’s customers get revitalized by the energy of this vibrant art hub. Art on Boston is the result of a collaboration of two artists, Laurie Fagen and Wendy Fallon, who wanted to offer artists and enthusiasts a more authentic art experience. Now in their second year of business, the owners have expanded their show and class offerings. Art patrons will enjoy the superb work Laurie and Wendy have in the Art on Boston collection. “We’ve been extremely pleased with the high quality of artists and the caliber of artwork we’ve seen,” says Laurie. Should your tastes run more toward making art, you will find both tried-andtrue art subjects like watercolor, oil, and
134

A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
pastel—as well as classes not found elsewhere such as Art Clay jewelry, Tiffany-style stained glass embellishing, polymer clay beads, and Suminagashi marbling on fiber. You can also purchase unusual art supplies that are unavailable from traditional craft stores. Ultimately, enthused artists and fresh artwork make for happy customers who are able to connect with the pieces they find in the gallery. “We love seeing the happy look on our customers’ faces when they’ve found just the right piece of artwork for their homes,” Wendy says. Art on Boston carries glass, metal sculpture, fiber art, photography, fine craft jewelry, acrylic, oil, watercolor and pastel paintings and wearable art. The gallery is located in the thriving hub of historic downtown Chandler, at 11 West Boston Street, Suite 1. For more details, visit www.ArtOnBoston.com.

hen you see the work of artist, Tad Smith, you will experience not only the rich earthly colors but a sculpted piece of nature. Tad’s highly textural works feel organic-- as if sprung directly from the earth. Evidence of the artist’s at-one-withnature approach is apparent in his latest series that literally incorporates the majestic red landscape of the mountains in Sedona, Arizona into his artwork. “I’ve spent countless hours there, getting in touch with the land,” the artist says. “There is a spiritual aura that I wanted to incorporate into my work by using the actual red rocks themselves.” To begin his creative process, Tad hikes the Sedona hinterlands, studying the wilderness and collecting inspirational rocks. Tad then bottles this energy, taking it back to his studio and pours it into each piece. “Sedona is so incredible—I found
136
n
A r i zo na Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
n
by A . Steeby
a way to put the wonderous energy of Sedona into an art form that people can take with them so they can revisit the spiritual wonders that the mountains radiate. I just had to share it with people through my art,” he says. Tad’s sublime Sedona series is successful, in part, because of Tad’s commitment to creating artwork that invites the viewer to actively participate in the experience. “To me, perfect art is a 50/50 endeavor,” Tad says. “The artist brings style and craftsmanship, and the audience brings their background feelings and thoughts.” You can see Tad’s Sedona series on his web site, www.studeotad.com. There you will find images of both the artwork and examples of how the element-rich pieces will enhance in indoor living spaces. You may also contact the artist directly by calling (480) 403-1020.

cottsdale Museum of the West: Where Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Meet The range of human experience has been writ large upon the West. Death and survival, sorrow and hope, traditions and change are all part of the collective western psyche. Now, the stories of the West and her inhabitants will be told by an ambitious new museum in Scottsdale. ”The Scottsdale Museum of the West will be an institution dedicated to chronicling the stories of the past, celebrating its many transformations to the present, as well as exploring the future,” says the museum’s Director/CEO Michael Fox. “We see it as the place where the Old West meets the New West.” By focusing on the history of the people and events that make up the 19-state region, the Scottsdale Museum of the West will carry a big responsibility to both accurately capture Western life and also effectively share them with the public. The new museum seeks to complement
140
n
A r i zo na Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
by A . Steeby
the fine western-themed museums that currently exist. “Many organizations have magnificent collections of art and artifacts, and we won’t compete with that,” says Fox. “Rather, we seek to tell the stories behind the people and collections and make them relevant to people today.” Buoyed by a generous gift of land in historic downtown from the City of Scottsdale, the museum plans to open its doors in 2012, the year of the state’s centennial. In order to build the facility and develop innovative educational experiences, the organization is seeking gifts to help fund the project. “We hope to find donors that would like to partner with us, not only financially, but with planning as well,” says Fox. “We feel that building this great institution should be a collaborative vision of many people who love the West.” For more information on the museum or to become a donor, please contact Director Michael Fox at (480) 686-9539 or mfox@scottsdalemuseumwest.org.

enerally, collecting art in the West involves Navajo blankets and imagery of lonely cowboys. But Scottsdale’s LeKAE Gallery is proof that you can find dazzling contemporary art that works with a southwestern aesthetic. LeKAE is owned by Linda and David Sherer, who have devoted over 30 years to helping people incorporate fine art into their lives. The Sherers began their art careers with New Mexico’s legendary Taos Art Gallery (est. 1950), and remained at the gallery for 24 years, eventually reestablishing it under their ownership and expanding the locations. In 2004, the Sherers consolidated their operations under the LeKAE name and opened a new, much larger location in Scottsdale. Linda embraced the challenge of filling the 6,800 square foot space, and vowed to create the gallery that she had always dreamed of owning. Her vision has resulted in a bright, airy showplace with
150
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
n
by A . Steeby
the perfect atmosphere to properly view artwork. Sensing the needs of the changing art market, the Sherers modernized the emphasis of the LeKAE collection to serve the increasing number of collectors interested in fine American craft. The couple added the finest metalsmiths and glassmakers to their roster of artists, including acclaimed metal sculptor Thomas Markusen, steel furniture artist Frank Seckler, and glass artists Randi Soli, Christopher Morrison, and Ed Branson. LeKAE also features oil paintings by Troy Collins and Rolinda Stotts as well as baskets, ceramics, stone sculpture, photography, furniture, and bronzes. The gallery is located at 7106 E. Main Street in the heart of Scottsdale’s gallery row and is open seven days a week. You may also view the LeKAE collection online at www.lekaegallery.com.

hen master metalsmith Thomas Markusen speaks about his copper art, it sounds like he is talking about working with clay. The artist uses words like “yielding,” “relaxed,” and even “plastic” to describe the malleable properties he is able to coax into the metal. “Copper is a wonderful medium,” says Thomas. “Depending on the technique used, the surface can have incredible texture and endless color combinations.” Thomas began his copper career in 1976 while he was Professor of Art the State University of New York at Brockport. His first creations were sculptural candleholders designed to allow people of average means to enjoy metal art in their homes. “The candleholders were so popular, I’ve expanded the line,” Thomas says. “I add two or three new designs and retire an earlier design each year.” After success with his candleholders, Thomas began creating the magnificent
152
n

n
by A . Steeby
sculptural pieces for which he is now so well known: large platter-like sculptures, glass topped sideboards, and headboards are all present in his artistic repertoire. Each piece that Thomas develops becomes the springboard for his next artistic inspiration. “I will make one piece, and from there it will inspire the next two or three pieces,” the sculptor says. “I am at my best when I let my intuition and knowledge of the metal lead the way. My current interest is incorporating the beautiful colors and topography of the Arizona landscape into my work.” Thomas creates most of his work in his Rochester, New York metal studio and splits his time between his New York and Arizona homes and studios. Thomas has been represented for over 12 years by the famed LeKAE Gallery at 7106 East Main Street in Scottsdale. The gallery also offers a comprehensive online gallery of Thomas’ art. www.lekaegallery.com.

Duley Jone s G alle ry David Barba: Still L ife Watercolors
W
atercolorist David Barba is not a talkative man. In fact, the very idea of discussing and analyzing his work makes him profoundly uncomfortable. But just because words aren’t David’s favorite mode of communication does not mean that that the introspective artist has nothing to say. His floral watercolors— large, lush, and lifelike—are clear messages about the beauty that exists in our world. David began painting florals thanks to his wife’s dual passions of gardening and collecting old glass bottles. He found the color opportunities of the subject matter to be irresistible. “With flowers, I can really experiment with color,” David says. “I can make a flower any color I like
168

and it still works.” David also paints other natural imagery such as sun-ripened tomatoes on the vine. The artist prefers to work on a large scale: his paintings average 41” x 61” in size. These broader surfaces allow David ample room to explore the abstract qualities of his otherwise representational paintings, such as shadows and reflections. After a career as Art Director for an advertising agency, David began painting full-time in 1971. Although his paintings have won him accolades and are included in the permanent collections of Cornell University and the Carnegie Center, David remains understated about his contributions to the art world. “I don’t claim to have an overarching motive or philosophy about painting,” David says quietly. “Painting feels good to me, so I keep doing it.” David is represented by Scottsdale’s Duley Jones Gallery, which features fine contemporary artwork by both regional and national artists. The gallery is located on 7100 E. Main Street and carries paintings, ceramics, glasswork, basketry, wood sculpture, and illustration art. Duley Jones Gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm and on Thursday evenings for Scottsdale’s ArtWalk. www.duleyjones.com.

Sc o t t sda l e Fin e Ar t Beauty and Light : T he Paintings of Gil D ellinger
C

by A . Steeby
Gil Dellinger Morning On The Colorado 36x48
alifornia painter Gil Dellinger has the cures for a few of modern society’s ills: stop feeding your soul the equivalent of junk food. Gil believes that the more we surround ourselves with lurid, sensationalist input, the more we end up with a gnawing inside. Gil seeks to remedy this hunger with his soulful artwork. “People today are hungry for substance,” the artist says. “We feed on mental and emotional decay and are left wanting. I want to give my audience a chance to fill up on images of what is right and beautiful in this world.” All of Gil’s paintings are, as he says, “utterly immersed in light.” Gil uses this radiant focus to capture a scene’s feeling so precisely that you almost feel the temperature and smell the air. “Even if I paint an overcast winter day,” Gil explains, “there is a certain quality
170
n
A r i zo n a Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
of the diffuse sunlight in the chill.” Gil works exclusively in acrylic, a medium the artist embraced after years of working with pastels. Gil’s approach to acrylic stems from his prior pastel work, and he develops layer after glazy layer of the paint to achieve his luminous effects. After 30 years of teaching art at the university level, Gil now has the opportunity to paint full time. He is passionate about his work and is often in the studio for stretches of 10 hours or more a day. “What keeps me going is the goal of sharing with people the beauty and complexity of this Earth,” he says. You can see Gil’s work at Scottsdale Fine Art, 7116 E. Main Street or on the gallery’s website at www.scottsdalefineart.com. For more information, please call (480) 990-3100.

were fortunate to have someone make the sacrifice of living in the desert with its ghastly heat and snakes and rocks,” Boyce laughs. Just one glance inside the gallery reveals Boyce’s enthusiasm and passion for art. “I love running the gallery,” Boyce says. “Every day I look forward to helping my clients on their art-buying adventure. I want people to come away with the awareness that art is a necessity, not just for making their walls look better, but also for stirring up creative thought.” When asked where the gallery is headed, Boyce says, “Only the ‘art gods’ know. I like to think that my role in life is to show people that they don’t have to be collectors of only one kind of art. Joy comes from stimulating our brains to accept many ideas and emotions. Art serves that purpose,” Boyce says. “After all, I’m not selling wallpaper; I’m selling the joy of creativity.

Sievers Galle ry Scottsdale ’s Newest G allery
n
by A . Steeby
A
cclaimed artist Gregory Sievers is respected in the art world for his luminous, Impressionistic depictions of still life subjects, figures, and landscapes. What you may not know is that his son, Matthew, has an up-and-coming talent to rival his father’s. Together, the father and son duo have opened an exciting new gallery in Scottsdale to share their combined artistic vision. “I have been showing in galleries for my entire career,” says Greg. “Now it is time to take what I have learned about the gallery experience and share it with my clients.” Greg became interested in an art career during high school when he had an opportunity to work with a particularly gifted art teacher. After graduation and a tour of duty in Vietnam, Greg went to art school and earned his BFA and MFA. Although he had fully intended to use his education to become a teacher, his early successes as an artist influenced Greg to paint full-time instead. Throughout his accomplished career, Greg’s paintings have delighted thousands of collectors and garnered recognition nationwide.

Greg did school one pupil, however. From an early age, young Matthew Sievers displayed strong artistic talent. Greg took the opportunity to share all the lessons that a young artist wouldn’t necessarily learn in school. “I had to get older to learn to use a single brushstroke to say what I would have needed 10 brushstrokes for before,” says Greg. “At age 25, Matt’s work is more sophisticated and stylized than mine was at that age.” The Sievers Gallery is located at 7165 Main Street in Scottsdale. Matthew manages the daily operations, and Greg also runs the gallery on occasion. You will also find Greg working as an artistin-residence at the acclaimed Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale January 17 through March 29.

Scottsdale American Indian Art Associat ion Quality • A uthenticity • Integrity • E xperience
S
cottsdale is home to many of the Southwest’s finest American Indian art galleries, with merchandise ranging from prehistoric Native American antiquities to the finest works from contemporary potters, weavers, jewelers, carvers, and basket makers. To introduce you to Scottsdale’s American Indian art scene, a pre-eminent group of galleries has banded together to form the Scottsdale American Indian Art Association. The mission of this organization is to promote authentic, quality American Indian art sold by galleries with exacting standards of integrity. Deborah Neal, of Old Territorial Indian Arts explains: “Each gallery in the association has the highest ethics. We vouch for each other and refer our own

clients because know that a customer will have a great experience at any of the member galleries.” Kathi Ouellet of River Trading Post agrees. “This is a group of professionals with high standards. We don’t ‘push’ sales; instead, we believe that it is more important to educate clients and help them find the art that they are passionate about.” Every association member agrees to uphold four standards: quality, authenticity, integrity, and experience. Quality and authenticity are cornerstones of the inventory at the member galleries. Available works are individually hand-crafted by American Indians using native materials. “The items for sale, whether antique or contemporary,
can all be considered fine art,” says Kathi. “None of our members offer anything that is mass-produced.” Integrity and experience provide extra reassurance for the buying public. All members have between 10 and 40 years experience in the business and every gallery backs up their merchandise in writing. “All our members are committed to helping collectors make educated decisions,” says Kathi. “We are honest and stand by everything we sell.” The association is actively involved in
the community, and member galleries are often asked to judge and vote on awards at the Heard Museum’s annual Indian Fair. Every association gallery truly cares about the American Indians that created the art. “The mass-produced reproductions are hurtful to the American Indian artist’s livelihood,” says Deborah. “Our members want to see these native traditions continue.” For more information, please visit the Scottsdale American Indian Art Association online at www.saiaa.net.

merican Indian art is synonymous with tradition. Parents teach children about artistic spirit in the same way they were taught by their own parents. Indian art collectors also have a tradition passed on from parent to child: relying on the landmark Old Territorial Indian Arts for the finest in authentic Native American art. “2009 marks our 40th anniversary,” explains Deborah Neal, one of the gallery’s owners. “My husband, Alston, and his mother, Rita, opened the doors in 1969 right here on Main Street. Many children of our earliest clients are now our clients themselves.” The Neals are proud to be part of a trading custom that has been enjoyed for generations. “Today’s collectors are simply following a tradition enjoyed by art enthusiasts for the past 150 years,” explains Deborah. “Once the railroad came west, buyers were eager to buy art made by American Indians. People had been traveling to Europe for decades; they suddenly had an opportunity to obtain beautiful art from this continent.”

Early works are alive today at Old Territorial. Historic pieces such as pottery, textiles, baskets and jewelry are available—all personally selected by the Neals for authenticity and aesthetic value. “We feel like we are caretakers of history,” Alston says. In addition to Old Territorial’s antiques, the Neals also offer select “new classics”. Deborah and Alston have relationships with multiple generations of Native American artistic families and represent the best of these artists in their gallery. “We look for tomorrow’s trendsetters that are innovating using traditional techniques and materials,” Deborah says. Old Territorial Indian Art is located on Main Street in downtown Scottsdale, and features Navajo blankets and rugs, fine 20th-century Estate jewelry, pottery by Pueblo Matriarchs, rare antique Indian baskets and beadwork, modern Hopi Kachinas in the traditional style and Navajo Indian folk art. www.oldterritorialshop.com

Navajo Ketohs, circa 1900-1920
KE TOHS In archery, the ketoh or gato (pronounced “gayt-o”) is also called a bowguard or bracer. It is a piece of leather that protects the inside of the wrist from the snap of the bowstring. Ketohs were used by Navajo and Pueblo men and in the 19th century were decorated with silver, making them more decorative than functional. Today they are most commonly worn as items of adornment by Navajos and as part of the ceremonial costume for Hopi and Zuni kachina dances. The Navajo decorated the ketoh by attaching silver and turquoise to the leather. Silver ketohs usually have a center motif, sometimes with a central ornament, and four curvilinear shapes that radiate out toward the corners. Ketohs are currently collected as works of art in their own right.

Z U NI K AC HI N AS Dolls were rarely made for sale or trade at Zuni, but due to high demand for these items at the turn of the century, many were made for museum collections, both foreign and domestic. Most from this period are found in public collections and rarely come into the market. Between 1902 and 1906, Zuni missionary Andrew Vanderwagen arranged for Kachinas to be made and subsequently sold most of them to Stewart Culin for the Brooklyn Art Museum. Some were sold to other institutions and the Fred Harvey Company and occasionally a few of these Kachinas find their way into today’s market, commanding a high price due to their rarity. These items and other fine antiquities can be found at John C. Hill Antique Indian Art in Scottsdale or you can visit www.johnhillgallery.com.

In the 1980s, they began to focus on the best quality in Indian jewelry and developed a reputation of dealing with the finest Hopi and Navajo artists. Many of these artists have won numerous ribbons and awards at a variety of prestigious shows. Waddell Trading Company has participated in many exhibits and shows throughout the country, and has been mentioned in various books and magazines. In Native Peoples Arts & Lifeways Magazine, Gregory Schaff, Ph.D., lists Waddell Trading Company as one of the best places to buy turquoise jewelry.

Their meticulous attention to detail is evident with each artist and I can always rely on them to provide the best in Native American art.” Waddell Trading Company is the continuation of an Indian arts and jewelry trading business that was started in the early 1940s by Gene Waddell’s parents. Their trading post, the West Y, was in Gallup, New Mexico and focused on mining, prospecting, brokering and selling turquoise from mines such as the Bisbee, Blue Gem, Castle Dome, Kingman, Lone Mountain, Morenci, and #8. Waddell Trading Company stocks a large selection of the finest cut and polished turquoise, coral, lapis and sugilite. Gene Waddell personally guarantees the authenticity of each piece of jewelry while maintaining the quality of workmanship, materials and value.

artist’s statement accompanies a painting,” says William Lykins, Director of Gebert Contemporary Art in Scottsdale. “This can let you know what the artist was thinking while he or she created the work. But really, if a painting speaks to you visually, you don’t have to have the same ideas the artist did.”

ave you ever admired a piece of abstract art and wondered: “But what does it mean?” The short answer is that abstract art can mean anything your heart says it does. Understanding Abstract Art “Don’t worry about ‘getting it,’” says artist Tad Smith. “Abstract art is about painting the unpaintable. It is easy to represent a horse or a bowl of fruit, but an abstract painting can make you experience something deeper like joy or wonderment.” Although the artist may have deliberate ideas of what their painting means to them, with abstract art you are free to make up your own interpretation. “Sometimes an

Gaining Familiarity If you would like to learn more about contemporary art, Wendy Haas, owner of Cervini Haas Gallery in Scottsdale, recommends events like the monthly, multi-gallery Scottsdale ArtWalk. “Going to ArtWalk is a low-key way to look at new art forms. You can take your time and see what appeals to you.” If the unfamiliarity of nonrepresentational art intimidates you, Haas assures you to put those concerns aside. “There is a common misconception that a gallery expects their buyers to be well-versed in the intellectual component of buying art,” she says. “But actually, the opposite is true. We feel that educating people about the art is one of the most important services we offer.” Clark David Olson, co-owner of Bonner David Galleries in Scottsdale also believes in teaching their clients about art. “We work to educate our clients about the beauty of contemporary art and help them move beyond the notion that all art must be created with paint on a canvas,” Olson says.

Selecting Work Buying abstract art is easy. Simply trust your gut. “You must love any piece of art, but this is especially true of nonrepresentational works,” says Lykins. “You should have a strong, visceral reaction that the piece is for you.” Greg Sanchez, owner of LKG Contemporary Gallery in Scottsdale concurs. “There is only one question you should ask yourself, and that is: How does this piece of art make you feel? If you feel good, you know that you will love the piece throughout your lifetime,” he says. Working with a quality gallery is important for enthusiasts who are new to abstract works. “Always work with a reputable dealer,” says Lykins. “An established gallery is your assurance that you are buying good art.”

Adding to Your Collection So, are you in a pickle if you fall in love with an abstract painting but your house is full of cowboy art? Not at all. According to our experts, you are simply expanding the breadth of your tastes. “Even if you have a houseful of traditional art, if an abstract piece appeals to you, it will work fine with the rest of your collection,” says Lykins. “At first, people may collect because their decorator advises them to or they try to match their furniture, but after they are around art for a while, people get comfortable letting their collection reflect their true tastes.” Sanchez encourages people to rely on their personal sense of beauty when buying nonrepresentational works. “Since abstract art is about feeling, don’t let anyone else influence you on whether you should or should not acquire a piece of art,” he says. “You should trust yourself and your heart.”

ccasions! By Design was founded in 1992 by Dr. Ken Bull, an Albuquerque psychiatrist, and was family-operated until only a few years ago. Originally a tabletop gallery, Occasions was expanded to include Southwest art and jewelry, due to the owner’s great appreciation for and love of contemporary art and jewelry design. The gallery’s main goal is to create a new alternative to the traditional art gallery. The staff is young, energetic, very knowledgeable and encourages conversation among the guests. Occasions offers a fun and enjoyable atmosphere through music and art. Customers often dance through the gallery during Art Walk, tapping their feet and singing along with the tunes. They have commented on how they love the freedom of not having to be reserved and sedate while discussing a piece of art with friends. Artwork in Occasions is rotated monthly so the gallery always looks fresh and new, no matter how often a customer returns.

Nine months after the first car show, Charles was critically injured in an accident that almost completely severed his left hand. After three surgeries he was left with almost no use of his hand and a grim prognosis for recovery. Unable to work, Charles was faced with the prospect of no job and a lifetime of pain and disability. Charles’ circumstances threw him into a life-threatening depression. Yet the creative spark that had been ignited at the car show remained. Over the course of seven years, Charles forced himself to struggle through making three more sculptures—and he slowly gained more dexterity with each one. “Little did I know that I was at the beginning the creative journey that would become my life,” the artist says. “From that devastating experience, I found my purpose “The Kiss,” Mahogany & Ash, 32”H x 22”W x 22”D and calling.” Today Charles is thriving.

ould you risk everything to make a fresh start in an uncharted land? Would you leave the people you love for a chance of success, regardless how slim? In nineteenth-century America, millions of intrepid souls poured into the West, ready to take this life-or-death gamble. Colorado sculptor Craig Bergsgaard is a self-made storyteller of this chapter of American history. His bronzes capture the spirit of the people who made the Wild West their home and are a monument to American dream of independence.

A stickler for historical correctness, Craig believes that an authentic portrayal of the past is the only way to tell his stories. He performs research with enough zeal to rival any historian, and ensures that everything, from guns to clothing, is properly represented. Explains Craig: “If you don’t get the details right, then why bother? ‘Good enough’ is simply not good enough for me.” Understanding the era’s minutiae has galvanized Craig’s vision of the people who braved the hostile, often lawless, region. “It was all about survival,” he says. “I make sure the faces of all my subjects reflect the extreme challenges of the life: vulnerability, raw emotion, defiance.” A life-size version of Craig’s popular sculpture, Coolin’ the Dogs, was recently chosen for permanent installation in Fountain Hills, Arizona. The piece is a peek into a private moment as a cowboy soaks his tired feet at the end of the day. “Coolin’ the Dogs is one of my favorite scenes,” says Craig. “It lets people step back into time to catch a glimpse of the toils people endured in order to live a lifestyle they loved.” You can meet Craig at his Scottsdale studio at the Arizona Fine Art Expo from January to March. More work is available at the artist’s online gallery at www.craigbergsgaard.com.

or Wyoming still-life painter Tom Lucas, few periods in time are as beautiful as the early days of the Plains Indians of North America. Tom gleaned his knowledge of native culture from a lifetime of observing the Cheyenne, Crow, Shoshone, and Arapaho tribes that live near his home. “I grew up in Wyoming and spent quite a bit of time at my grandfather’s ranch in Montana,” Tom says. “I even lived with an Indian family for a time.”

Every one of Tom’s paintings has a story to tell. A prime example is his work New Beginning which features two amulets: a quilled lizard and a beaded turtle. Amulets like these were used by the plains tribes to house a newborn’s umbilical cord so that it could be worn by the person as a protector throughout their lifetime. “The lizard is a boy’s amulet and the turtle is a girl’s,” Tom explains. “I also show an eagle feather and blue ribbon, with the idea that the boy must earn his feather to become a man and the girl must grow to womanhood to take part in the society. The entire painting represents a rite of passage.” Historical accuracy is critical to Tom, and he takes his role Red Rose seriously. “I feel that my talent was given to me by the Lord,” the artist says. “I do my best to honor that blessing and put it to work in the best way I know how.” Tom spends most of the year in his Wyoming studio or at the Silver Sage Gallery in Dubois, Wyoming, of which he is part owner (www.silversagegallery.com). From January to March, he exhibits at the acclaimed Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale. For more information, please call Tom directly at (307) 335-9384.

ith a work background that includes labor relations for Ford Motors, health-care administration at a variety of third-world hospitals and directing of a charter school for atrisk children, it’s no wonder that Rob Stenberg’s work is detailed, creative and full of life. “My love of the Southwest and Native American cultures, combined with, all of the things I saw during my travels and all of the cultures I interacted with have really influenced me,” Stenberg says. Stenberg’s paintings are rich with spirituality and power. His large-scale shaman warriors make people feel peaceful and whole. “I love doing the shamans,” Stenberg says, “because people feel the spirituality of those paintings. I have a client who put a few of my paintings in a battered women’s shelter, because she found them healing. That makes me feel good.” But Stenberg’s work is not all about spirituality. His animal paintings are whimsical pieces designed to make people smile. “All of the deer are smiling and standing on top of each other,” he says. “These little pieces are perfect for people who are just starting a collection or who don’t have the space for my bigger pieces.” Stenberg also enjoys making commissions for clients. “I’ll sit down with a sketchbook and map out the room where

they want to put the painting and then I have the clients look at my palette and choose their colors,” he says. “I do need enough artistic license to flow and create, but I even let my clients get specific about some of the shield designs. I can hide people’s names or a specific insignia in the paintings. Including the client makes the painting really meaningful.” Stenberg’s newest work is more abstract. “I’m working with layers of different kinds of paper and porcupine quills and wood and bright colors. These are often designs from one of my characters blown up and three-dimensional,” he says. “The emphasis is more Southwest and spiritual, but also multicultural. I’m always pushing myself and the wheels never stop turning in my head. I’ll never run out of ideas. All of the pieces of my life appear in my work.”

ne of those funny life lessons is that sometimes a situation we think is a stumbling block actually turns out to be an advantage. Bronze artist J.R. Eason knows this phenomenon well. For years, the self-taught sculptor worried that her lack of a formal art education would hold her back professionally. Instead, J.R. found that having no preconceived “shoulds” and “shouldn’ts” gave her unbridled freedom to express herself. “I’ve been sculpting for over 16 years,” J.R. says. “About seven

years ago, I began to appreciate that what I make springs totally from my own vision—I only create based on inspiration from within me and not from anyone else’s ideas or style.” As satisfying as it is for J.R. to chart her own artistic course, such an approach is not without risks. Working from her gut can expose some pretty visceral emotions. “When I went through a bitter divorce, I put all that pain into several of pieces,” the artist explains. “But I’ve also channeled extreme joy into my work as well. The more authentic the emotion, the more people relate to my work.” Freedom from preconceived notions also extends to J.R.’s sculpting methods. The artist uses no live models nor does she work from photographs. All of her creations are, as she says, based on “original thought.” The result of this combination of J.R.’s inner spirit and her artistic gift is sculpture that resonates with people from all cultures. You may see more of J.R.’s sculpture at www.jreason.com. For additional information, please contact the artist directly via email at jreason@blackfoot. net or by telephone at her Montana studio (406) 793-0888 or on her cellular phone (406) 360-5766. J.R. can also be found sculpting onsite at the acclaimed Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale from January to March each year.

n Sue Averell’s paintings, as in romance, opposites attract. Like a Mardi Gras dancer eloping with an aerospace engineer, her canvases unite color and rhythm with composition and structure. With color, Sue is fearless. Her cityscapes are an urban plaid: even concrete and steel are depicted in kaleidoscopic polychrome. Yet underneath her embrangle of hue is a disciplined design that securely engineers the painting’s composition. “Drawing is essential to my work,” Sue says. “The perspective of my subject is critical to accurately portray how a scene sits in space.” Paradoxically, a meticulous framework actually frees Sue to take liberties with reality. For example, although an image may be anchored to real life with its underlying sketch, the final work exhibits more imagination than literalism. This approach allows Sue to purposely include ambiguities which allow the viewer to finish the painting based on their own interpretations. Sue works primarily in acrylics, using the medium to add both strata of color and texture. As she paints, she doesn’t abandon her beloved drawing techniques. Instead, the artist literally draws with pigment, emphasizing critical shape with bold, black paint lines that knot together both left- and right-brain aesthetics. This blend of rhythm and form allows Sue to explore the deeper subtext of an

image. For example, Sue’s botanical series, Unstill Life, examines the activity inherent in otherwise static scenes. Explains Sue: “Unstill Life is about the movement I strive to capture on canvas—both the reflective movement of water in a vase and the motion of falling petals.” In order to have an ample trove of images to fuel her mind’s eye, Sue travels for several weeks each year. When she isn’t exploring, she works in either her main studio in Sausalito, California or in her winter studio at the Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale, Arizona.

inda Koch’s paintings give us a chance to experience the glory of nature through the eye of an artist. “All of my work is inspired by Mother Earth,” says Linda. “Nature is a superb starting point for creativity.” Linda’s body of work consists of three series based on nature. Her Forest Floor series features fields of plant forms painted from nature, using detailed brushwork with vibrant color overlays. After Forest Floor, Linda developed her acclaimed Contemporary Landscapes, which have allowed the artist to explore nature more spontaneously with a focus on abstraction. Most recently, Linda has added the Mixed Media series to her body of work. Mixed Media incorporates materials other than paint into each piece to further push the limits of nature-inspired forms and colors. Linda’s mixed media pieces include graphite, pastel, inks, gold leaf and other elements to enhance her acrylic paintings.

Linda’s technique is as organic as her subject matter. She begins with her inspiration, makes a simple sketch and may draw a few ideas directly on the canvas, but then she develops each painting instinctively. “I apply paint both directly and indirectly until I achieve the desired essence of each piece using brushes and palette knives as well as sticks, found objects and a variation of tools.” To find out more about Linda’s paintings, you may visit her website, www.kochimages.com or email her directly at kochsaude@psnw.com. You can see Linda’s work at the Sacramento Art Complex in Sacramento, California where you can contact the artist’s representative, Cammie Winston, at (916) 446-2004. You may also see the artist work as an artist-in-residence at the Celebration of Fine Art Show in Scottsdale, January 17 through March 29, 2009.

rtist Penny Benjamin Peterson sure makes it hard for a writer to do her job. You see, words seem inadequate to try to describe the painter’s evocative work. Penny’s abstract masterpieces are designed to elicit the kind of profound, intangible feelings that swirl about deep in the human psyche. “Everyone reacts strongly to shapes and color,” she explains. “I try to make my work call up that mystique of thought, intuition, and feelings.” Although Penny seeks a passionate response from her audience, she is careful to let each person draw their own ideas about what each image means. “There can be as many different reactions to a painting as there are people,” Penny says. “My work doesn’t spell out exactly what the viewer must see so each person is free to make their own connection.” Penny increases the intensity of her paintings by working on a large scale

and laboriously building multiple layers of pigment and found-item collage. “I have had people in my studio gasp when I covered a beautiful layer with more paint,” the artist says. “But it is the underpainting and texture that gives my work its richness.” When asked to describe her work, Penny is introspective. “I like to think of my layered paintings as a metaphor for what we all go through as people,” says Penny. “We are all multiple layers of experiences. Although we do not become a totally different person as we age, our life events develop and change us.” To see more, visit Penny’s website at www.pennytheartist.com.

culptor Carrie Quade devotes her artistry to portraying the soul of living things. Not content with mere realism, the artist creates sculptures that look like they breathe and think. “I try to make them come alive,” Carrie says. “I want viewers to experience what my subjects are feeling.” Carrie’s work (which she punningly calls “squlpture”) can be divided into two distinct categories: animal life bronzes and abstract life-form ceramics. In her animal series, Carrie explores such engaging subjects as fat piglets and romping dogs. Each piece is an authentic display of animal behavior, drawn on the artist’s years of observations of nature. The artist’s other series, Saddle People, is a bit harder to define. Saddle People are like ceramic depictions of what would happen if saddles came to life, where the appearance of leather craftsmanship is
232
n
n
A r i zo na Co l l e c to r ’s G u ide 2 008 -2 009
married to the human form. By creating these otherworldly entities, Carrie pushes her creativity to its limit. “Saddle People are my continuing education,” she says. “I explore and learn with every piece.” Although the two squlpture series are divergent in subject matter, they are consistent with the artist’s dedication to depicting life. “My work is entirely about communicating the attitude of living things,” Carrie says. Carrie’s work is available through her online gallery at www.squlptures.com. You can also meet Carrie and watch her work in her studio at the prestigious Celebration of Fine Art show in Scottsdale, Arizona (January 17 through March 29, 2009). Please contact the artist by email at cgquade@ squlptures.com or by telephone at (505) 474-7333 or (302) 559-0685 for more information.

rizona artist Ann Turpin Thayer makes jewelry that transcends the label of “craft”. Her wire and stone works are made with such inspiration that they can justifiably be called fine art. All of Ann’s jewelry is constructed by binding the wire elements, an ancient method that requires no solder. Her technique engineers sophisticated pieces with enough structural strength to literally last for thousands of years. Interestingly, Ann usually avoids the wire itself as a design motif. Occasionally she produces pieces with a wire focal point, but more often, the masterful wire art is hidden and only used as a framework to showcase stones, crystals, or fossils. “People usually think my stones are held in place with a bezel,” explains Ann. “But I just use wire. This allows me to set any shape stone, gem, or artifact without altering it.”

For Ann, making jewelry involves more than simply designing beautiful-looking wearable art. She is just as passionate about having a complete understanding of the properties inherent in the highquality stones and metals she uses. To this end, Ann is studying to become a Graduate Gemologist through the Gemological Institute of America. She recently received GIA’s Graduate Pearls degree and recently completed a threepart program as an Accredited Jewelry Professional where she learned about precious metals, colored gemstones, and diamonds. Ann designs in both gold and silver and is available for custom work. You can meet the artist January 17 through March 29 at Scottsdale’s renowned Celebration of Fine Art show (Studio 246), or contact her through her website at www.AnnTurpinThayer.com.

Richard’s formal art training was in both classical European art and abstractionism, and he found the western landscapes a perfect subject to unite the two seemingly disparate styles. “At first, my work may make you think of a traditional approach to painting,” Richard says. “But once you step closer, you will discover a deeper, more abstract application of form and color.” A common reaction to Richard’s work is that his lush vistas have a Hudson River School feel. But Richard sees his work as in a different light. “True, the Hudson River artists did document the sweeping 19th century frontier, but they always revealed the changes of man’s impact on the land,” Richard explains. “I take the opposite approach: I remove all evidence of man, whether it is a fence post or a building, to depict the Teton Awakening: 30 x 40 West in its native state.” A gallery of Richard’s work is available on Richard moved to the western United his website, www.richardhallfineart.com.

hoctaw artist Judith Durr draws from her Native American heritage and life in the Southwest for inspiration for her oil paintings. Her extensive collection of beaded moccasins dating from the 1880s and items acquired from her family are her favorite subjects. At 7 or 8, Judith decided, with the certainty and decisiveness of a child, that she would be an archeologist, a teacher, and an artist. As the years passed, she worked closely with archeologists, had the opportunity to teach, and has most certainly become an artist. Judith began oil painting in 1989, turning professional in 1990. She is now internationally known for her detailed and extremely realistic renditions of Native American rugs used as backdrops for her still-life paintings. She arranges the subjects in her studio: a rug, pottery, beaded moccasins, corn, feathers, turquoise jewelry… the composition is sometimes very simple, but always beautiful, always colorful.

Passion and attention to detail are Judith’s trademarks. She always uses 12 layers of paint to achieve the desired effect. She works from dark to light, larger brushes to smaller, and uses the last two layers of paint to tie up loose ends and add finishing details. Painting “wet on wet” allows her to achieve additional color values as the shades blend together. Judith says, “I paint the illusion of texture and fabric and am intrigued with the drama of light and shadow.” On close inspection of her paintings, you will find the play of light and dark shadows that have shadows – that make her paintings not only interesting but extremely realistic. A line of products has been created using many of Judith’s images: linens and kitchen accessories, clocks, music boxes, wallpaper borders, outdoor art that won’t fade in the Western sun, and more. Judith’s work can be seen at Mountain Studio, Inc. in Cave Creek, or online at www.judydurr.50megs.com.

taught, he loves what he does and feels that passion must be the driving force behind any artist. He also enjoys making people happy. People smile as they look at Roger’s various pieces, amazed that he can take a flat sheet of ¼-inch cowhide and create a 3-dimensional “pictorial sculpture” complete with inlaid turquoise. He utilizes only two tools to create his beautiful works of art: a knife and a clay modeler’s spoon. He free-hands the initial drawing, then uses his knife and spoon to create depth and detail. Since leather ‘breathes’, he treats it before adding color, preventing the paint from cracking and the leather from darkening over time. Roger layers his custom mix of acrylic paint and dye to achieve just the right look, texture, and color. His unique leather treatment and paints were developed through many years of experimentation and he admittedly “…has ruined more leather than any other living human being.” Often, customers will visit his studio to see how a commission piece is progressing. In initial stages the work seems flat, bland, and in Roger’s humorously technical lingo, “butt ugly”. However, once the final treatment is applied, the colors ‘gel’, the depth of the piece becomes apparent, and the whole thing pops! Turquoise stones are the final touch. Roger’s work can be viewed at Mountain Studio, Inc. in Cave Creek, or online at www.rogerkull.50megs.com.

here’s a very good reason why visitors to the Valley of the Sun seek out the Virginia Brooks Studio in Carefree. “My home and studio are located on three lush acres that border a nature preserve. With the Continental Mountains in the distance, my guests come to appreciate why plein air painting is so rewarding.” Painting en plein air is the traditional outof-doors style, where the artist seizes a moment in time and then races to capture it on canvas. Often called “a shadow chaser”, the plein air painter can be pitted against the extremes of Mother Nature, but can find comfort in having a sense of humor. “I have learned to handle all types of critters from bees to snakes; and willingly defer to herds of any kind!” While painting out of doors can be quite an adventure, there is a wonderful immediacy in the

Virginia’s original oil paintings are available in a wide variety of subjects. She also offers over 50 images in limited edition giclée prints.

xcept for his period of service with the Air Corps in World War II, Harland Young’s entire life has been devoted to his art and his horses. Widely known as one of the premier Western artists in the United States, Young was born in 1924 in Neosho, Missouri, but grew up on a horse and cattle ranch in California. Thus began his intense admiration for animals and the outdoors. In 1951, after graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from the Art Center College in Los Angeles, Young worked as a commercial illustrator for an ad agency. He opened his first studio in 1956. Although Young is best known for his Western art, he is also extremely versatile. Known as “the master of the fleeting moment,” Young’s use of rich, resonant colors, motion and light moves his work

beyond realism and has earned him respect and praise from art critics across the country. Young has been commissioned to produce original paintings for the Symphony of Color series and chosen to paint a portrait of John Wayne for Wayne’s introduction as the Greater Los Angeles Press Club’s Man of The Year. He has also produced collectors’ plates for Kern Collectibles, the first of which sold out. In 1984, the Nelson Rockefeller Collection Gallery gave Young a thirty-day one-man Western Art Show featuring his paintings and bronzes. Harland Young has owned eight art galleries. Today, Young lives in Scottsdale, where he continues to produce fine art, much of which reflects a lifelong admiration of western wildlife and natural beauty.

Bead Baskets by Virginia After years of oil painting, the art of wire bending and love of beads led me to develop bead-wire baskets. Classes in wire bending with Lynne Merchant in San Diego culminated in learning how to weave a wire basket in the 1990s. When I wove to the top of my first basket, the addition of colored beads contributed so much that I was inspired from then on to string beads into entire baskets as I made them. I prefer making translucent baskets for the pleasure of seeing light filter through the colored beads. The visual richness
achieved by juxtaposing design elements like beads excites and rewards me. No two baskets are alike; each basket seems to evolve of its own accord. The mystery of what a finished basket will look like continues to inspire me. My fascination with design challenges draws me to create-one-of-a-kind necklaces as well. A native Phoenician, I am now located in north Scottsdale’s Rio Verde Foothills area. Baskets and necklaces can be viewed at my home studio by appointment. Images available upon request via e-mail. Custom orders are welcome.

Carefree & Cave Creek
The Paintings of Marty LeMessurier Southw e st Histo ry C aptu re d in Still Life
Native American Weavings, Oil, 30”x 24”
T
wenty years ago, painter Marty Le Messurier’s high school daughter was required to take a class in Arizona history. Although the teen proclaimed the topic to be “boring,” Marty was enthralled by the subject matter. From these bookish beginnings, Marty has continued her exploration of the Southwest and the Native American culture through her acclaimed still life compositions. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Marty’s work is the level of realism and three-dimensionality the artist is able to achieve. Marty uses oil paints exclusively because she likes the depth and luminosity the medium provides. “I like the way oil moves: I can glaze one color on top of another to capture the subtleties of light,” she says. “The oil allows me to create beadwork that looks like it is made of real beads because of the many tiny layers of paint I use on each one.”
n
by A . St eeby
For many collectors, owning one of Marty’s pieces allows access to rare historic art that they might not otherwise be able to experience. Marty’s works, however, are not simply reproductions of artifacts. History may offer the painting’s focus, but Marty adds the artistry necessary to showcase the items to their full advantage. “I am a realist painter, but sometimes take subtle liberties to enhance a composition. For example, I may brighten the color, or replace a bead or two to present objects as they were originally. Nevertheless, I remain true to the historical accuracy of the subject depicted.” You can meet Marty and watch her work at the Celebration of Fine Art invitational show in Scottsdale from January 17th through March 29th, 2009. For additional information, please contact Marty directly at 602-770-7643 or mlemessurier@cox.net.

works together in support of special art events, cultivating the visual arts and cultural life of Sedona.

Gallery visitors enjoy light refreshments, musical entertainment, and the opportunity to explore Sedona’s flourishing art scene in a relaxing atmosphere. Cooler evening temperatures add to the comfortable ambiance and the Sedona Trolley provides free transportation.
“The Sedona Gallery Association (SGA) represents the collaborative efforts of the premier galleries in Sedona to ensure that art lovers and artists alike experience the best art environment imaginable.”

Coinciding with the monthly “1st Fridays”, the SGA also holds week-long “Art of Gold” events. During the first week of designated months (2008: June, September, December), a raffle ticket is issued for every increment of $500 on all individual gallery purchases. The drawing is held at the Sedona Chamber of Commerce on the Monday following the event with the winning ticket holder receiving a $1000 Gift Certificate to any SGA gallery. This November, 2008, the first annual “Red Rock Canvas” will be sponsored by the City of Sedona and the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and presented by the Sedona Gallery Association. The city will come alive on Friday, November 7 with “1st Friday” receptions at SGA galleries, and an exclusive Saturday evening ticketed gala and tribute auction for charity featuring art, an array of hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and dancing. There will be something for everyone with art talks and demonstrations, wine tasting, outdoor or spa adventures, and much more.
John Henry Waddell, best known for his stunning bronze sculptures of female nudes, will be this year’s “Red Rock Canvas” honoree. He has been an intrinsic part of the Sedona art world for more than forty years. At the age of ten, Waddell began studying art at the Katherine Lord Studio and by the time he was 16, he was teaching classes there. He won a full scholarship to the Art Institute of Chicago and had his first solo show at the age of 21. Following a brief stint in the military, he earned two M.F.A.s in Fine Arts and Art Education on the G.I. Bill. Waddell and his wife, Ruth, moved to Sedona in 1957, where he headed the Art Education Department at Arizona State University. In 1964 at the age of 43, Waddell retired from academia to sculpt full time. The 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, in which four young girls died, was a pivotal event in his development as an artist. His monument to this tragedy,
“That Which Might Have Been, Birmingham, 1963”, resides in a garden at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Phoenix. In 1970, Waddell was commissioned to create a major work for downtown Phoenix. Four years later he completed “Dance”, eleven life-sized figures in various dance positions with one other playing the flute. “Dance” is displayed on the sidewalk in front of the Herberger Theater and remains his major Arizona masterpiece. For more information on the first annual “Red Rock Canvas”, visit www. redrockcanvas.com. For decades, Sedona’s reputation as an arts destination has attracted serious collectors from around the world. Others, drawn by the beauty of the area’s red rocks, have been surprised by the caliber of nationally and internationally known artists represented by Sedona’s sophisticated galleries - galleries that would be just as at home in New York or LA. Events such as “1st Friday,” “Art of Gold,” and “Red Rock Canvas” are proof that Sedona has much to offer both the amateur art aficionado and the serious collector.

F
looded with light in the Great Room, warm brick accenting another, and other small, intimate spaces, it’s a wonderful exhibit space for displaying the artwork of emerging and established contemporary artists. And this year we have added Studio M, a 1930’s bungalow adjacent to the gallery for creative studio space for artists; jewelers, weavers and others. THE MANHEIM joined the Verde Valley gallery scene in the fall of 2006 and has become known as an outstanding juried gallery offering fine art originals by renowned oil, watercolor, mixed media, and sculpture artists. A destination gallery, THE MANHEIM takes pride in its active season of special-feature events to surprise and tempt the collector. THE MANHEIM GALLERY’s illustrious group of artists combines an exceptional blend of talent. The gallery features luminous abstracts in oil by Swedish artist Petersen Thomas; representational oils by internationally recognized Elizabeta Vujkovich; and Barbara Butler’s softly focused renderings of Montana’s wideopen spaces. Peter Nelson, Linda Sherman and Gigi Stateham are each award-winning watercolorists. Nelson captures exquisite

light in his signature seacoast scenes, while clean, clear lines define Sherman’s southwestern landscapes. Gigi is inspired by her environment and the clarity and detail in her work are renowned. Bronze sculptor Linda Rae Brown is inspired by the human figure while Carolyn Grimes unearths the sensuality of rich, exotic woods; her sculptures find abstract form in their exquisite grain and patina. THE MANHEIM GALLERY is an aesthetic experience you won’t want to miss. Our visitors tell us, “It is a wonderfully comfortable space.” The gallery is located at 747 N. Main Street, Old Town Cottonwood, and is open from 1:00 to 5:00 pm Wednesday through Saturday and always by appointment. You may also visit www.themanheimgallery.com or call 1-928-649-0130.

W
hen Ken Stockton’s youthful passion for painting was rekindled after several years in a different career, his young son Andrew observed, “That’s pretty good, Dad! Are you gonna hang it on the fridge?” Nine years later, his work can be seen in venues far beyond his own kitchen. Best known for his desert landscapes, Ken’s understanding of his subject extends beyond the canvas. His fifteen-year tenure at Tucson’s Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, where he served as Director of Design & Planning, focused on all aspects of exhibiting the state’s plants, animals, and habitats – fostering a familiarity with natural history that continues to inform his work as a full-time artist. Initially a plein air painter, Ken’s growing preference for larger, more complex compositions eventually made this approach impractical. However, his outdoor painting experience helped develop the authentic sense of light and color characteristic of his studio work.

Ken Stockton “Oak Creek Reflections” 24x48
He is particularly drawn to the dramatic shapes, colors and textures of rocky landscapes, so when gallery owner John McCullough invited him to join Windrush Gallery, he welcomed the chance to paint Sedona’s signature formations. On a recent visit he was on the move from dawn ‘till dusk, bouncing along back roads, wading Oak Creek, and hiking dusty red rock trails in search of that perfect image. Ken explains, “When working in the studio, I often find myself mentally ‘occupying’ a scene, reliving the experience of actually being there, as I refine and emphasize features or qualities that initially drew me to it – as an avid gardener fine tunes the design of a cherished, personal oasis. Indulging this mild fantasy imbues the finished painting with a sense of invitation, ideally creating a portal through which others may enter and explore the realms of their own memory or imagination.” Windrush Gallery is located at 411 Highway 179, Sedona.

or over twenty-one years, Lanning Gallery has anchored and defined Sedona’s “Gallery District” with its incomparable collection of Classic and Contemporary fine art. “The longevity of our gallery is absolutely attributable to our artists,” says owner Peggy Lanning. “We are fortunate to represent several key artists with national and international reputations whose work is timeless. And we work hard to bring in artists, new ones over time, whose work represents the evolution of the gallery which represents the evolution of art itself.” A keen eye for talent and a commitment to artists whose vision and skills confidently define it is Lanning Gallery’s great strength. New artist, Jonathan Howard, is one of the emerging artists whose work is exciting the gallery’s clients. Drawn to urban settings, Howard creates canvases that compellingly draw from his Surrealist past, his existentialist core and his leanings toward an influence of the Ashcan school.

One of the gallery’s mid-career artists is Randall LaGro, who is much celebrated for his subtly complex, often mysterious oil paintings and monotypes. Noticing the slightest detail can change your interpretation of his work as your eye finds veiled images beneath layers of paint; human and animal forms may appear or recede before abstract elements of interwoven texture. “He’s an artist’s artist,” says Lanning. James Gill is a late-career artist and Pop Art icon whose self-imposed exile from the art scene, begun at the height of his popularity and lasting over thirty years, made him a legend. With his recent reemergence, Lanning Gallery is thrilled to bring Gill’s work back to an eager audience. With Gill’s paintings in collections at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington D.C., Lanning Gallery is in good company supporting this renowned artist. www.lanninggallery.com 928-282-6865

n the heart of the “Gallery District” stands one of the oldest and most prestigious galleries in Sedona; the Turquoise Tortoise Gallery opened its doors over thirty-six years ago and helped establish Sedona as the arts mecca it has become. “Our gallery and artists grew up together,” notes owner Peggy Lanning. She remembers the first time acclaimed artist, Tony Abeyta ,walked into her gallery over twenty years ago. “He was 17 years old and laid all his work out right on the floor for me to see. I’ve been representing him ever since.” In 2004, when the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian opened in Washington D.C., it was an Abeyta painting that served as the official illustration of the opening. In June 2008, Abeyta enjoyed a one-man-show at Phoenix’s prestigious Heard Museum. Sculptor Lance Yazzie has been represented at the gallery since he was sixteen and has gone on to win first place

His work includes not only the traditional forms of his culture but Contemporary pieces with a Modern Art feel. His father, acclaimed sculptor Larry Yazzie, has been represented by the gallery even longer and continues to produce remarkable works that fully honor the earth from which a sculptor’s stone originates. More recent artists to join the gallery’s ranks include Stan Natchez, whose Pop Art mixed media work is often painted directly onto U.S. currency, and Felipe Herdandez, whose Zapotec family in the valleys of Oaxaca weave exquisite rugs using the highest quality all-natural dyes. The gallery is also renowned for its vast collection of hand-made Native American jewelry, many pieces by second- and thirdgeneration jewelers whose families have worked with Turquoise Tortoise Gallery for decades.

ruising into Sedona on Highway 179, something catches your eye. On second glance, you spy a pair of 7-foottall giraffes peering down from a balcony. Below them, a javelina and a lion are watching you through the rail – you have arrived at Lark Art. A relative newcomer to the Sedona gallery scene, Lark Art opened its doors in February of 2008. Its name plays on words as “lark” means “to frolic” and by dropping the ‘l’ you have the word “ark.” The gallery was designed around an ark that “floats” on a blue floor with inlaid fish tiles. The ark’s 21-foot span displays a plethora of creatures imaginatively interpreted in wood, clay and paint. Your first impression upon entering this gallery includes color, openness and warmth. Gradually, you smile as you absorb the whimsical, droll attitudes of the animals peering back at you. This is definitely a different type of gallery!

The folks at Lark Art search coast to coast for art that is engaging and fun. They provide art and gifts in all price ranges so everyone can afford a bit of whimsy, some invigorating color, or a “creature with attitude” to lighten up and loosen up their home or office. Everything in the gallery is an original creation from the artists’ own hands. Lark Art often commissions pieces for the gallery as exemplified by the 6’ by 11’ tenpanel painting adorning one wall. Fitting together like a puzzle, it depicts an ark containing over 100 different animals. In addition to paintings and threedimensional artwork, Lark Art also carries hand-crafted furniture. Colorful and eclectic, it fits perfectly into this unique, interactive, heart-warming gallery. Look for the antique red fire truck and stop to see the Lark Art menagerie at HozHo Center in the heart of Sedona’s Gallery Row and online at www.twolarks.com.

orty years ago, James Ratliff opened his first gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona, with a “…deep interest in making art a lifelong profession. I want(ed) to create a stable of artists that would create unique, quality, one-of-a-kind pieces.” Never wavering from that initial goal, James moved to Sedona’s “Gallery District” in 1983 and has become synonymous with ‘enduring professionalism.’ Now, after building trusting relationships with many collectors, he is dealing with the grown children of individuals who bought art from him years ago. Not only has James built lasting relationships with collectors, he has established long-term associations with many artists. He is known for recognizing young talent and helping jump-start successful careers. David K. John, a Navajo artist renowned for his colorful paintings, masks, and sculptures, began showing at JRG in 1990 at the age of 17.

Cary Henrie studied at the Pratt Institute in New York but was eventually drawn back to his native Utah to indulge his passion for landscapes. Rather than selecting one fixed vantage point for his paintings, Henrie prefers to “…make sure the eye is continually interested…” His work is abstract enough that nearly everyone can apply it to his own experience, making each piece seem very personal. Henrie’s work first appeared in JRG nearly a decade ago. JRG has also been successful in placing a number of monumental sculptures by artist James N. Muir. The work of these and many other talented artists can currently be viewed at the James Ratliff Gallery located in the HozHo Center, 431 Hwy 179, in Sedona.

n 1973, Will Hardwick and Deanne Sabeck started “Kuivato” which means “greet the morning sun” in the Hopi language. Kuivato Glass Gallery was one of the first three galleries to open in Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village and has since been relocated from its original space to Patio del Norte. With twice as much space, the gallery now exhibits the work of over 100 world-renowned glass artists. Glass is an ancient art form dating back some 5,000 years and as recently as several centuries ago, owning glass was the privilege of wealth and royalty. The studio glass movement in the late 20th century stimulated a fresh look at this ancient art. Though not yet four decades old, the movement has already gifted us with a stunning array of artistic creativity. Its role as a medium for art is now firmly and fully established and, for the past three years, studio glass has been the most collected art in the country.

For over thirty years, Kuivato has represented some of the most prominent glass artists in America. The gallery currently exhibits the work of an impressive roster of names, presenting a wide variety of artworks including art glass, jewelry, and light sculptures by owner Deanne Sabeck. Kuivato offers both the seasoned and beginning collector the chance to find something spectacular. From Sabeck’s graceful light sculptures to the delicately detailed jewelry of Matt Bezak from Hiroshi Yamano’s unique “Fish Catchers” to Marlene Rose’s exquisite “Cast Buddhas”, this gallery exhibits some of the most visually exciting artworks in the country. Kuivato participates in the Sedona Gallery Association’s First Friday Art Walk and features different artists each month.

oted Western sculptor and artist Vic Payne, and patron of the arts Bill Widger recently purchased Mountain Trails Gallery in Tlaquepaque. The gallery is excited to offer Sedona area residents and visitors the Payne family western art legacy, the work of three generations all in one location: Ken Payne, his son Vic and his grandson Dustin. While visiting our gallery, continue your relationship with renowned wildlife sculptor Ken Rowe and award winning resident sculptor Susan Kliewer. Ken Payne has pioneered the idea of sculpting in public and between that and his nationally televised program, “Sculpting with Ken Payne”; he has been in the forefront of the bronze movement in modern times. His heroic bronze sculptures depict the action, danger, and humor of many frontier situations bringing to life the exciting memories of the Old West. Vic Payne is nationally and internationally renowned for his imaginative and innovative chronicling of our nation’s history. His limited edition bronze sculptures pay homage to the Western frontier. Professionally sculpting for nearly 30 years, Vic has been commissioned to sculpt numerous bronze monuments for various private collectors, corporations and municipalities; six of those are featured at Cabela’s, the World’s Foremost Outfitter®. Dustin Payne, although only 26 years old, is already 16 years into his sculpting career—artistic talent flows naturally and

eoffrey Roth Gallery opened its doors in Tlaquepaque in 1974. Then, it was a small space, selling only jewelry, belts, wallets, and handbags. Steadily, it matured, expanded its space and its repertoire, and developed an illustrious reputation – much like its owner, Geoffrey Roth. The gallery now represents a variety of artists including Alex Sepkus, Eddie Sakamoto, and Michael Good, as well as bronze artists Kim Kori and Loet Vanderveen. Kori takes inspiration from nature and combines it with her playful imagination to create joyful bronze sculptures. Vanderveen’s love of all things wild created a passion for sculpting animals in their untamed beauty; his breathtaking, velvety patinas give his sculptures a beautiful, rich finish. The heart of the gallery, however, is Geoffrey’s unique line of jewelry and signature wristwatches that are designed, machined, created, assembled and tested in his Sedona studio. His lifelong love for precision machinery and engineering

drove him to master the art of fine watch making and culminated in the creation of Sedona Watch Works, one of only a handful of watch making companies in the entire United States. Geoffrey crafts solid, sturdy watches that are simultaneously beautiful and long-lasting. He uses only the best materials and the finest Swiss mechanical movements to guarantee years of reliable service. His timepieces are contemporary, clean, solid, and “…from the heart.” Geoffrey’s jewelry is just as unique. He carves the original, casts each piece using the lost wax process, and then sets or inlays fine gemstones as desired. He uses stones cut by award-winning stonecutter Stephen Avery and fuses artistry and precision engineering to create exquisite pieces. The gallery offers a diverse collection of distinctive jewelry and artwork suitable for personal acquisition or gift-giving. Geoffrey Roth Gallery is located under the Bell Tower in Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village, Sedona.

After photographing many of their images in reflecting pools, Elaine and Duane decided to use that dreamy, soft look as a base to blend into a painting. They first select an image and apply a softening technique, then use a combination of brush strokes and brush sizes to paint on a variety of soft washes. The image is ultimately printed onto a fine art canvas which is then cured and mounted. Using brushes, they apply a hand texture to the canvas and, a day or two later, the handbrushed final finish is applied. Each canvas in the “Reflection Series” is truly a unique work of art. Beautiful Colorado River photos, amazing Slot Canyons, unbelievably gorgeous Island Images and many more photographic collections are available at Eclectic Image Fine Art Gallery of Sedona in Tlaquepaque.

Prescott’s Art! The 4th Dimension was established in February of 2004 by a dedicated group of gallery owners and artists who believed in the dream of a monthly art walk program for the City of Prescott. The 4-Heads, as they are affectionately referred to, took the 4th Dimension name from Einstein’s theory of relativity. A step beyond the 2-D and 3-D aspects of painting and sculpture, the 4th Dimension is where time and space coexist thus allowing for the phenomenon of motion. There is not a more appropriate name for the movers and the shakers who continue to keep the dream a reality. Beginning at “5:00 pm-ish” relative time on the 4th Friday of every month, Prescott’s 4th Dimension consortium of art galleries and restaurants keep their doors open for you and your friends to journey into Prescott’s fabulous mile high in the pines art scene: • Fine arts and crafts • Live music • Local eateries And the adventure continues through the weekend during regular gallery and restaurant business hours. We are pleased to have a feature in The Arizona Collector’s Guide and to provide within its pages a sampling of the art and artists you may come across on your next 4th Friday Art Walk adventure in Prescott, Arizona.

hat do you get when you mix a community full of artisans and 30 outstanding art galleries into a former ghost town? You get Jerome’s Art Walk, an event Phoenix Magazine named #1 on the list of best things to do in Arizona. Jerome’s Art Walk is like a town-wide fiesta. The entire community’s involvement provides an electric evening that will tickle your artistic side. “There is such a party feel in town during Art Walk,” says Donna Chesler, owner of Gallery 527. “This is one of the only nights that everything is open in Jerome. Most galleries plan something special for the evening, like food, wine, or live music.” Joanna Pregon, owner of Dreamscape Gallery, agrees. “It is exciting to be part such a grass-roots event. Artists directly participate and there is so much energy and excitement.” You can easily explore the galleries, shops, and restaurants on foot. If you prefer

not to walk, a free shuttle bus scurries from gallery to gallery. The shuttle covers most of town including the old Jerome High School, which is home to over 20 artist studios. “Everywhere you look, you will see something beautiful,” says Donna. In its original incarnation, Jerome was a copper mining town. When the mine closed in the 1950s, the town of 15,000 residents quickly dissolved into a ghost town. In the late 1960s, hippies and artists discovered Jerome, starting the town’s rebirth as a thriving artist colony. Today, 450 people make their home in the hamlet, which is 20 miles southwest of Sedona. “Jerome is such a unique place,” says Joanna. “People come from all over the globe to be a part of this destination for art.” The Jerome Art Walk takes place on the first Saturday of each month from 5:00 to 8:00pm.
