Artist Statement: I’ve been in love with Santa Fe, NM, since I moved here in 2014. Originally from the midwest, and raised on both coasts, I returned to the plains states to study science in college and graduate school. Following my academic education, I spent more than 30 years happily in the northeast, living in a world of complicated, abstract concepts, experimental design and data analysis. At the same time, I always created with my hands and heart in addition to my head. Over the years, and using all manner of media (fabric, fiber, glass, paper, clay, paint) I’ve explored form and function, color and shape, representation and abstraction. My training in the scientific method was applied to the study of our external world. I use the same approach to create art in the study of my internal world. I have an idea, or pose a question, and, letting go of the outcome, I begin my process. Add a layer of paint, take some away. Apply medium for texture. Glue on paper or found objects. Layer by layer, adding and removing, obliterating and revealing, solving problems and creating a whole from disparate parts. Making something from nothing. Finally, I see with my mind and my heart, what already exists and has only been waiting to be discovered. New Mexico artists are amazing!

Zimmerman, Mixed Media Artist VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE Susan is a Corrales, New Mexico-based mixed media artist creating layered abstractions with acrylic, handmade papers, japanese sumi ink and collage. I create layered compositions that evolve from my inner landscape that weaves in and out of my outer world. They are explorations inspired by my lifelong fascination with paper, writing, overlays, manuscripts, calligraphic marks and formal concerns as well as dreams and memories, darkness and light. Translucency allows some layers to be revealed and altered by subsequent layers. Lines evoke time lines, life lines, the rhythm of the breath, heartbeat and the connection of brain and hand through brushstrokes. I am connected to life through a body of emotional and physical experience. New Mexico artists are amazing! Discover New Mexico’s Art Treasures & support the people who create them. Featuring: Santa Fe Artist Jane Shoenfeld, Nature Based Studio Abstractions, Plein Air Landscapes.4/18/2024 Jane Shoenfeld Nature Based Studio Abstractions Plein Air Landscapes Current Gallery Affiliation: STRATA GALLERY 125 Lincoln Ave, Ste. 105 Santa Fe, New Mexico VIEW ARTIST'S WEBSITE View Jane's Classes & Workshops Art Adventures in the Southwest I create outdoors in response to landscape. I also work abstractly and from my imagination. These bodies of work overlap. Organic form, movement and light from the natural world remain throughout. Pastel, with its immediacy and vivid color, is primary. Recent work includes mixed media paintings on top of watercolor. The emotional impact of color is central. Additional visual elements – transitions, textures, color relationships and allusions to representation engage the eye. I trust the unconscious voice and welcome the unexpected in my imagery. My latest work includes a series in which representations of chamisa and images of my face merge. My pastels are exhibited locally and nationally and my home is what I dreamed of when I moved here from NYC in 1987– I see the horizon from my studio door. I also teach art classes outdoors, in my studio, and at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu. New Mexico artists are amazing! Discover New Mexico’s Art Treasures & support the people who create them. Elaine Duncan Santa Fe Abstract Expressionist VISIT ELAINE'S NEW WEBSITE VISIT ELAINE DUNCAN ART FACEBOOK PAGE Flow Merging creativity and movement through painting. Painting is like a dance for me. I feel that I am a partner with the paint and the canvas. It is a physical act of rhythm, texture, surface and subsurface, always moving, always in flux. I enjoy the process of discovering negative and positive shapes by using painters tape to mask off areas, or by scratching deeper into the paint to reveal hidden surfaces, much like looking through ice on a frozen lake.

Celia Cortez Art Multi Media Artist DRAWINGS - PAINTINGS - MONOPRINTS COMMISSION WORK VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE View Celia's Facebook Page The intricacies of nature serve as the inspiration for my work. Whether my aim is to create a detailed piece with drawing media, like ink or graphite, or whether I’m working on loose and abstract work with paints and mixed media, nature is at the heart of the concept. The forms and lines that are the foundation of every aspect of nature, the curves and spirals of shells and flowers, the hexagon in bee hives, the textures, colors and variety of species fascinate my creative mind. I welcome commission requests. Should you an idea or want me to create something special for you or a loved one, please reach out to me. Www.CeliaCortez.com New Mexico artists are amazing!

JORGE LUIS BERNAL Encaustic Monotype Paintings and Workshops Ceramics, Cold Wax and Sculptures For In Person Workshop lnformation VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE View Jorge's Santa Fe Studio Tour Bio: Jorge Luis Bernal was born in Havana, raised in Jersey City and attended art school in South Florida. He received his MFA in architecture from Virginia Tech and a BFA from Florida International University in ceramics and art history. He spent most of his earlier career practicing architecture, teaching college, high school and exhibiting nationally. Jorge works in clay, cold wax and encaustic monotypes, which have received numerous awards. Artist Statement: My work is about stories and journeys: those that I take and the journey that the artwork has been in my studio. The mark-making, colors, textures and structures of each story dictate the development of my artwork that, while predominately abstract, is based on reality. The shapes and lines are born from places and objects, broken down and transformed into something new. I use this interplay between marks and materials to create tensions through emotions to explore, select and then piece together a final image. I invite you to pause awhile and consider taking your own journey through the narratives I create. New Mexico artists are amazing!

TO VIEW ADDITIONAL WORKS: VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE Showing at ALDEA Gallery 217 N. Bullard St., Silver City, NM 88061 These three sculptures "Birth of a Legend," "Birth of a Legend II," and "Birth of a Legend III" are my three most recent works in bronze. The sculptures are inspired by and based on sculptures I did forty years ago, "Horus" and "Horus of the Upper Kingdom." The sculptures were created by placing a tetrahedron within and connected to a convexly curved octahedron (which in one created a sphere and in the other an egg). In each, the sides of the tetrahedron were extended outwardly so two sides would go beyond the walls of the curved form while the other two connected the two forms. The results were flower/bird-like forms with a hint of the hawk-like Egyptian god. Looking at those two earlier works, I decided to re-visit the idea of again placing the tetrahedron within the egg-like octahedron, but making the extensions more. suggestive of wings and neck of a bird of pray. (Now only one side extends and attaches to part of the octahedron.) Of course the idea of the birth exists from the bird form breaking free of the octahedral egg.

Artist Statement: "I paint mainly in oils, primarily landscapes, but I also enjoy non-representational work. My love of quilts shows up in my geometric painting series, which I drafted using a quilt design software. My goal is always to paint honestly, and to channel the joy I feel while painting. I want my paintings to sing to me, which is when I know that I like them enough to have them seen publically." The highlight of my week is always Tuesday morning, when I meet members of the plein air group, PALs (Plein Air Landscapers) to paint together. It is a joyful experience to get out and paint with good friends, catch up on each other’s lives, marvel at the beauty around us, and share our artistic interpretations. I’ve been a member of PALs since 2018, and I feel very comfortable trying many different approaches to painting in plein air, using different substrates, application techniques and tools. But the challenge every week remains daunting, to capture the effects of light on the landscape and represent the variety of colors that are expressed by the vegetation, topography, and season. I feel very fortunate to live in a beautiful place, have the luxury to spend my time making art, and have good friends with whom to share this journey. The peace and satisfaction of artistic expression is truly a blessing. Connie also enjoys studio painting and has produced many paintings of the views along the hiking trails near her home at the base of the Sandias. Connie’s work has been featured in many juried shows and in 2022 she won the Wilson Hurley Enchantment Award at the Masterworks of New Mexico Show. In early 2024, 18 of Connie's paintings were rented by the movie "Miss You, Love You" starring Allison Janney, that was shot in Placitas, NM. Connie's paintings were used to represent the work of the deceased spouse, who was a painter living in Placitas, of the character played by Janney. New Mexico artists are amazing!
