Shonto Begay "Shonto Moon"

Show through the end of July

The glow of the sacred mountain. The light she sits with, she holds like a crown.

All the places, the people and events are touched by the light.

These are spaces I am inspired by. These are my muses. The lines in every painting are the syllables of prayers and chants.

Carol Benally "Landmarks of the Soul"

Show through the end of April

“Our feet travel, our ride speeds by but a landmark stands in timelessness.

I want you to see my paintings as a place and spirit of their unique presence. My paintings are not invented color but an accurate real time presence captured by my critical eye. Waiting for the sky to enhance the landmarks quality.

I you, the viewer to see its beauty and feel its spiritual space, its soul of the land.”

Kelly Janecek "Vistas Revisted"

Show through the end of May

“It’s been awhile since I’ve painted landscapes and still life compositions. I had fun revisting these older subjects. Though I am not a landscape painter, the clouds, colors and wide-open spaces of Northern Arizona are so well-suited to brush and canvas. The still life pieces play to my whimsical side and I cannot provide any rationale for painting them other than that they make me happy. Looking at the show as a whole, the underlying feeling is joy; joy in the bigger picture and joy in the small moments.”

Carol Benally "A Painter's Path Among Black Rocks"

Show through the end of April

“Just East of Flagstaff you will find many miles of black buttes and mesas that describe the open landscape on the Navajo Reservation. These sculptural iconic buttes and mesas fill the landscape with changing skies. I strive to capture the enduring time of land with my oils. The black rock changes color as the sun sets in the west and lights up the forms. Travel with me and see my favorite scenes that are East of Flagstaff.”

Michele Naylor "Unexpected Places"

“I start each painting by choosing a color palette. From there it’s anything goes.

I know there will be texture, either real or implied, and maybe a shape of an actual object, but I never set out to paint a certain image. I just play – I add, subtract, think, squint, step back, get closer, leave the room, come back later…it all works out in the end.”

Sandy Applegate "Birds and Branches"

Show through February 14th, 2022

“I am fascinated by birds as shapes. Every bird is basically the same, but each type is so different and varied. They are symbols of freedom, character and intelligence. The same is true for the great variety of trees. I use them as shapes in my stylized paintings. The lines correspond to the rings used to date the ages of trees. I love to create colorful textured backgrounds for these paintings, then I populate them with my stylized birds and trees to create a whole.”

Show through the end of September

Kelly Janecek "Twin Reflections"

Show through the end of August

 

Twin Reflections is about spending more time with something that brings you joy.

After completing the first paintings, I was still curious about the subjects, enjoying the compositions, the colors, the expressions and decided to do another set, altering elements slightly. I know I am more grateful for things post Covid (time on my back porch drinking wine with a friend, communities gathering at parks and farmers markets, and hearing the cheering soccer crowds at the fields behind my house, etc). I’ve slowed down, I’m not so rushed and I guess that spilled over into my art as well. I wanted a little more time to enjoy the moment!
