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!

James Stuart Kane, Sculptor My work is serial in nature - - a continuum of idea and form now spanning a period of many years. 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!

VISIT ANDREA'S WEBSITE & SANTA FE PAINTING WORKSHOPS WEBSITE Follow Andrea & Santa Fe Painting Workshops on Facebook ![]() Andrea Cermanski’s work is a conversation in color inspired by the intricacies of our natural world. Extracting her palette from nature, her work embodies the delicate interplay of light and color, texture and form. While working, she intuitively synthesizes memories of the land, sky and water, allowing something new to emerge–a metamorphosis. The culmination results in capturing the essence of a place vaguely familiar to us all. Similar to the excitement of recognizing familiar images while watching clouds, her work seeks to grasp the contemplative eye of the viewer. New Mexico artists are amazing!

When I left teaching in 2017, I finally had the hours to dedicate to this time-intensive craft. After apprenticing with Scottish Stained Glass, I was hired on as a builder and restorer. Now, I create, restore, repair, and host classes in my studio on Cerrillos Rd to share my love of this age-old art with others. As an emerging artist, I find myself on a tightrope between decorative and fine art. Sometimes I fall one way, sometimes the other. My favorite pieces are the ones with hidden messages or meaning beyond the obvious symbolism or shapes included in the piece, and the ones that find the right combination of colors, textures, and opacities. Finding this combination can be somewhat challenging, even with the wide variety of art glass available, but it feels so good to find it. I love chatting with fellow artists and building community in Santa Fe. Stop by and say hi sometime!" New Mexico artists are amazing!

Much of my art depicts the Hispanic people and landscapes of the Southwest. My interest is in creating artwork that expresses the human spirit and celebrates the beauty of Nature. I have followed this path of exploration as a professional fine artist for forty years. My paintings form a body of art that is connected and unified by cultural subject matter and color. They are in many private collections and in public collections including the Millicent Rogers Museum, Taos; Harwood Museum of Art, Taos; New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe; Albuquerque Museum; the National Hispanic Cultural Center Art Museum and the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. In 2004 a new public elementary school was named for me honoring my contributions to fine art and Southwest culture. New Mexico artists are amazing!

I love its spontaneity, its freedom of flow, the surprises, and the challenge to master or at least control the independence of its gentle yet willful nature. I do still lifes now and then, but I am particularly attracted to landscapes. Color and light are the elements that most strike my sensuous core. Watercolor seems to best capture for me the vibrancy and translucence of sky, earth, water and all that grows and travels therein. I may know where I want to go, but how to get there is always an adventure. New Mexico artists are amazing! Discover New Mexico’s Art Treasures & support the people who create them. M A R K L E V I N S T U D I O sculptor and art furniture maker VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE Follow Mark's Facebook Page Instagram ![]() "My aesthetic is based on nature’s small wonders, flowers, leaves, and fruit as well as the female form. I appreciate soft, sensual forms that have an interplay of curves and movement. I create with solid wood for its intrinsic value, virility, and rapidity of execution. The grain and beauty of the wood have little influence in the initial design conception. I visualize a new work in matte black and believe that if a piece has a presence draped in black, then the design will carry the heart and soul, and only then the wood’s beauty will manifest the personality." "Nature has always been a significant part of my life, especially leaves and fruits. I grew up in rural Ohio, where we had a small orchard, and from an early age, it was my responsibility to take care of it. I spent my childhood and teenage years pruning, picking, and forever raking. I remember waking up every morning and seeing the pear tree outside my bedroom window. The green hues of the leaves would change depending on the weather, and I found the rustling of the leaves to be one of the most beautiful sounds then and now. Today, leaves, flowers, and fruits play a dominant role in my work. I find them to be not only beautiful but also significant. The leaves, with their varying colors and shapes, represent nature's come-hither glance. The apples, with their bounty, represent new birth. Finally, the flowers are nature's laughter with their colors and fragrances." New Mexico artists are amazing! Discover New Mexico’s Art Treasures & support the people who create them. Leaving New York and commercial photography in 1986 David Michael Kennedy moved to New Mexico and began to focus on his fine art photography. "Kennedy has been most often compared to photographers Edward Sheriff Curtis and William Henry Jackson. Both Curtis and Jackson are among the most well known artists who fueled the romantic myth of the American West of the imagination by championing the land in its unspoiled state. Kennedy subscribes firmly to their tradition. His landscapes are effectively devoid of human life. Even in those images where there are remnants of human intervention on the land: a road, a solitary church, a seemingly abandoned graveyard, silhouetted teepees, only ghosts haunt the images, no people from any tribe remain. The images are archival, each is unique and shows the hand of the artist as he lovingly hand prints them in palladium or platinum/palladium, nineteenth century photographic processes that reinforce the lonely beauty of the landscapes by obscuring air pollution and the detritus of human existence littering the landscape. Using palladium aligns the photographer firmly with a nineteenth century sensibility. Kennedy’s landscapes document his presence at sites long held sacred to all peoples, the photographs record a moment of sublime enjoyment at the majesty of Shiprock or Monument Valley. Taken as a whole, they are a celebration of our shared interest in the natural wonders of the West." Mary Anne Redding, Curator of Photography, Palace of the Governors/New Mexico History Museum David's impressive and vast body of work includes iconic portraits of musicians, actors and artists. Visitors often find themselves stumbling onto recognizable pictures of Bob Dylan, Debbie Harry or Willie Nelson –pictures that they have known well and for years-but now have the opportunity to meet the artist and hear the stories behind the famous images.
I have been photographing people, well known and unknown, for over 30 years. My primary interest has been to discover and unveil the uniqueness that makes each person a unique being. I find that when I successfully photograph a person the image we create is quite amazing. The people I’ve had the pleasure of photographing are truly beautiful, even when our culture may say that they aren’t, and this becomes fully evident in examining the finished work. Because my goal is to reveal the “soul” of each individual, I prefer that the viewer engage actively in a duologue with the person photographed. When the person sitting for a portrait speaks to me with their eyes wide open to the inquiring camera, they create the possibility for a conversation with whomever may examine the photograph in the future. I’m thrilled by the possibility of creating a space in which the subject may reveal themselves in an intimate way, with a viewer whose only access to understanding them is through the single image. Much power exists in this interchange and I am honored by the trust exhibited by both the subjects and viewers engaging in this silent interchange...

Darlene Olivia McElroy Narrative Mixed Media Artist VISIT ARTIST'S WEBSITE FOLLOW DARLENE ON FACEBOOK FOLLOW DARLENE ON INSTAGRAM EMAIL My family lineage has been rooted in the Southwest for hundreds of years — Hispanic, Basque, Pueblo Indian and a hodge podge of Western European all adding flavor to the pot. I love the magic of people past and the rich spirituality, texture and color of cultures. Creating these paintings has been my way of trying to touch the souls of those that have gone before. Darlene Olivia McElroy comes from an old New Mexico family of artists, musicians and inventors. She is a mad scientist of art techniques and is continually exploring new surfaces, materials and techniques. Throughout her career McElroy has combined head and heart in her journey of creating evocative mixed-media paintings. Trained as a painter and illustrator, she has an obsession for materials, passion for dreamlike imagery, and love of new technologies, which she uses to immerse herself in richly textured surfaces, mixtures of old and new, and brilliant and subdued tones. And always, there is a face or symbol of humanity that serves as a guide into mysterious layers which challenge reason and draw upon emotions. New Mexico artists are amazing!

Honored as a Local Treasure by the Albuquerque Arts Business Association, Carla obtained her Bachelor in studio art from State University of New York, Master of Science in Teaching Visual Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology, and Doctorate in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technologies from the University of New Mexico. ![]() “I approach art as an observer of the soul, enlightening the viewer about the presence, wonder, and dignity of nature and life. I want the viewer to value place and person in a space of spirit and heart and bring this illumination into their personal environments. While painting, I think about scale and how insignificant and unimportant we are in relation to the natural elements like sky, mountains, rivers, foliage, and fauna. I think about light—warmth and cool—and the play of highlight and shadow, and how nurturing our sun is in the cycle of life. This direct observation of nature and presence inspires my spectral luminescent works. My plein air and objective abstract pieces are created through a multiple layering painting process starting with brushes and then layering tiles of color and striations using pallet knives and other mark-making tools and materials. My palette and three-dimensional form come from what I see in U.S.A.’s Southwestern landscape−full spectrum colors and stellar shapes, not just greens, blues, and square angles. I just love New Mexico! It is a painter's paradise.” New Mexico artists are amazing!
