July Artist Events

For the month of July we're featuring Flagstaff painter, David Lash! He is most known for combining his highly detailed wildlife portraits with abstract or surreal backgrounds that invoke introspection about the natural world and our place within it. But David's broad skill-set and experimentation over decades has given him artistic dexterity: he paints just as beautiful expansive landscapes and has recently been pushing the bounds of his fantastical imagery.

A long-time conservationist, David has always used art as a bridge to help the viewer understand and appreciate the delicate ecosystems of the southwest. Although he admires the animals and landscapes that are his subjects, he holds no naïve nostalgia for his beloved places. The beauty of the wilderness, as represented in his works, is in its unpredictable, mercurial, and unharnessed nature that has the power to remind us of these forces within our own psyche. Our rhythms become apparent when we are in touch with the natural world, in its fertile creativity and ultimate compassion, and in its decay, death, and indifference. David's paintings express such fundamental experiences through color, representations of seasons, time, and space.

David will be painting live in the gallery during ArtWalk on Friday, July 5th from 6:00-8:30pm. As a retired teacher, he's a fantastic educator - whether about art or environmentalism. Come by to meet this engaging artist! Fellow artist, Bryan Cooperrider, and Jim DeBusk of the band Streetwise, will be playing live music and there will be events all around downtown!

Check out the ArtWalk map for more details and Downtown Flagstaff for all the happenings July 4th weekend - including Art in the Park!

Joe Sorren at ArtWalk!

6/2/2024

We're excited to feature world-renowned artist, Joe Sorren, for the month of June. He will be in the gallery painting during ArtWalk on Friday, June 7th from 6:00-8:30pm. In addition, he'll be releasing four brand new prints!

"Caterina" by Joe Sorren
Even if you're unfamiliar with Joe, you've likely seen his work. He painted the iconic mural on the side of the Old Town Shops, lovingly called the "The Veridic Gardens of Effie LeRoux." Born in Chicago, he grew up in Flagstaff and earned his BFA from Northern Arizona University. From there he has lived and shown around the world, had his work featured in publications like the New Yorker, Time, and Rolling Stone, and has become a leader of the American Pop-Surrealism movement.

We all know Flagstaff is a special place, though, and Joe returned to live and create in our beautiful mountain town. He currently has a studio downtown and that's where he painted the collection shown in his March 2024 exhibition, Between the Wrinkles, at Dorothy Circus Gallery in London. You might already be familiar with one of those paintings - this year's Hullabaloo poster features "Morning has Broken." And at ArtWalk on June 7th, we'll be releasing two prints from Between the Wrinkles - "Caterina" and "Portrait of Tom Waits."
Joe has brought two older paintings into the world as prints, as well. One of them is a crowd favorite - The Ramones! To see the other print, you'll have to come to the gallery. We hope you'll join us Friday evening to meet Joe and watch the unique way he layers paint to capture the fleeting emotions we all try so hard to hold onto.

Jewelry Trunk Show

Nancy Foo will be holding a trunk show from 12:00-4:00pm on Saturday, June 15th. She's been adding to her stamped and chased Explore the Wild collection, and her shows are the best time to see a wide selection of her hand-cut stone jewelry, like these Green Mountain Jade earrings. Come by to say hello to Nancy and see what she's been making!
