Artist Spotlight: Rebecca Suzanne Haines 🦊

“Animals are a link to the sacredness of all that is. Humans are endless noise makers. We talk on and on without listening. Really listening. Animals listen. They watch. They see and hear everything. They carry this wisdom of seeing and hearing within them. They embody it.”
- Rebecca Haines

~ Finding inspiration in nature to create his pared down sculptures, Rand Scot Smtihey’s abstractions are a great foil for the intricate, photorealistic paintings by Glenn Ness ~

Spotlight on: JERRI LISK

🌀Artists Statement 🌀
“From my home, I now set out into deserts, up craggy limber pine ridge-tops and down into river canyons, to capture in pen the stark forms of trees, hills and valleys into compositions. Later, I paint their lines, redrawing these simple lines onto the surface of metal, layering each with intense color and depth of light. While it is neither conceptual nor literal, there is something about the subject of the trees of which I never tire. It seems as though these forms each have a story to tell.”

The wonderful works of Sandy Phillips Graves 🕊️🦊

💭 Quote from the Artist:
“I see bronze sculpture as being a friendly and beautiful medium. I enjoy watching the public interact with art. In sculpture, viewers can walk around it, touch it, and become part of the artistic expression in a very personal way.”

Spotlight on Alexandra Becker-Black 🔳
“Insatiable” • Watercolor ~ 63” x 48”

💭 Quote from the Artist:
“I’m drawn to a realism that stretches beyond the literal — where color, scale, or subject matter nudges the familiar into the realm of the uncanny. I don’t know if I belong fully to realism or surrealism, but I find myself most alive in the space between, where the ordinary becomes strange and the strange feels true.”
