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.

Kelly Janecek "Summer in the High Country"

“This show is all about my summer thoughts as we shoveled ourselves out all winter long.
The snow was needed and much appreciated but my mind did wander to warmer colors, landscapes and flowers.”

“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.”

Summer Doss "Return: Moments of Homecoming in the Desert Southwest"
Show through the end of August
Summer Doss is a fine artist, working primarily in oils, whose work features Southwestern landscapes. By drawing viewers into the grandeur of the Western landscape, or by reminding viewers of their own moments in nature, Summer hopes that her art can serve as a point of return to the unfathomable interconnectedness between us all.
Through her work, Summer seeks to confront the human illusion of control and wants to facilitate inner dialogues surrounding our innate connection to nature, fear, ego, and mortality. She hopes to lead viewers to wonder if our inescapable humanity can become a force for earnest connection with ourselves and the world around us.

Shonto Begay, Diné (Navajo) painter, illustrator and author
Join the magic of visions unconventional, unseen, and peaceful. The soaring view of homeland is a gift of wings you didn’t know you had. My paintings are expressions of the purity of the Shonto Plateau I still call home. Beauty in the truth, beauty in the sacred, and in the mysteries.
Wow! How the time flies, they say – true.
It’s been 19 years since I've shown at this venue.
The walls of this gallery have had wild expressions and serene visions of the familiar. I am truly honored to be in the company of the other wonderful artists. We complement one another. I thank you for spending time with my paintings. I hope this exhibit spoke to you.
Peace – Shonto
Ellen Tibbetts "Western Pleasure"
Show through the end of June
I grew up in the midwest around horses. Back then, the term Western Pleasure meant riding your horse in a horse show competition, dressed in a western cowboy outfit. The outfits might include chaps, boots, hats and silver belt buckles. Horses were judged on their calm manners and easy going collected gait.
Fast forward a few decades and I have now spent much of my life here in the west. When I decided to title my art show Western Pleasure, I thought about how I could broaden the definition of the term to include more than just pleasure horses, riding and cowboy outfits. Instead, I thought about how it could refer to many of the things I have experienced, noticed and learned to appreciate while living in the west.
The Western Pleasure series began with a title for each piece. When I think of the west these days, wilderness, mountains, animals, deserts and rivers all come to mind. After deciding on a title, I would consider different ways it could be interpreted and then come up with what I wanted to make. I was even able to incorporate some of my other favorite things like telephones and cats, titled appropriately to fit within the parameters of my western theme. Each piece is made with clay, colored with ceramic underglazes and stains, finished and fired in an electric kiln.
