“I’m always looking for the unexpected, the surprise which makes you wonder” ' I work in series from events or places, which move me. Through scraping, layering, automatic
writing and reworking I go to a place beyond my control. In the process I deliberately chose clashing
colors, shifting planes, trying to break all the rules. I need the chaos first then order. My main objective
is to direct the viewer through constant discovery in my paintings. Energy, color and surprise are
three main elements in my work. I want my paintings to be bold and
inspiring. ' Dominique
The work is made using two types of wax:
Cold wax with oils or Hot wax or Encaustic on panels.

My quilt pieces start out as a preliminary drawing. I compose
a narrative scene with a variety of characters and objects. I am interested in the symbols that the subject represent. It’s an illustration that is rendered with thread, paint, buttons and beads. The finished pieces tell a story of real and imagined events. 
|
In addition to creating my own artwork, I also create for clients directly. When I receive a commission, I incorporate specific ideas from the client such as special or meaningful events as well as personal objects to create their own Heirloom.
|
The process of constantly drawing visual ideas is very beneficial. It allows me to keep my imagination flowing and acts as a resource when it’s time to articulate my fabric art.

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.

Nancy’s work has been exhibited for over 30 years in galleries and museums and included in public and private collections in both the USA and Japan. She has been active with the Pastel Society of New Mexico and Plein Air Painters of New Mexico for many years, having served as President of PAPNM in 2012.
The subject of landscape is complex and engages my interest throughout a range of aesthetic and spiritual concerns. In choosing to represent the natural world I seek to evoke a “sense of place” and the evanescent sensations of light and weather. There is active choice involved in observing, selecting, transforming, and often inventing elements of the view that I present. In depicting natural landscape scenes in partnership with abstract pictorial composition, I hope to convey an intense and poetic impression.

Linda Storm bio: Something magical awakened in me. I remember the smell of the oil paint, the feel of the brush in my hand, the delight of seeing the colors smeared onto the canvas. Every part of my 3-year-old body was immersed in the experience.
After I left the scene, I heard my father shout, “What happened to my painting?!”
I loved to read enchanting stories about powerful goddesses. Whenever I had blank paper, I drew the divas I imagined in those tales. To me, they were real.
Outside, on the sprawling land, I marveled at dew drops on a spider’s web, and discovered ancient fossils. I remember feeling the sky becoming part of me as I breathed, and I found forever in the black between the stars.
I was full of curiosity as I danced in the rain. I watched seeds sprout, sending their roots into Earth’s buried past, and I often dreamed I was flying in hot air currents, over volcanoes.
Incessantly through sleep and wakefulness, I asked, where did we come from, why are we here, how did we get here?
Today, with a variety of mixed mediums always available, I am never limited in expressing myself artistically. They include paint, iridescence, rainwater, ground minerals, and glow-in-the-dark pigments on various surfaces. With paintbrushes, palette knives, and airbrush I assemble layers of colors, textures, and meaning, in my paintings.
I find great value in collaborating with and inspiring others, and I love to explore and complete complex projects.
I begin with a sketch of my idea, then, as I paint, I trust the process completely, as I bring to life a visual story never seen before. I am so presently in the moment when I paint that the caw of a raven, a word, a song – anything – could affect the image I’m creating. Once while painting, I felt a presence behind me. I turned and saw a hummingbird fluttering its wings at a standstill outside my window, watching me. I worked its portrait into my art. We were one, that bird and I.
My art conveys my wonder, as we rotate on a living orb revolving around a star.

ARTIST STATEMENT: My artwork explores the rhythms, tensions and harmonies of the natural world, reflecting my sensory perception of patterns, energies, atmospheres and relationships. I work with the interplay of color and movement, form and texture, and the idea of above and below, seen and unseen, with multiple layering in my paintings. I work with negative space by adding and subtracting shapes while building the surface to create an overall glow. The Southwestern landscape permeates my awareness of color and shape. The cycling of the New Mexico seasons, flights of birds, native flora, the Río Grande and other rivers and arroyos, continually visit my paintings. Travel intensifies my appreciation of the many forms and feelings in the world of nature. Asian aesthetics in crafts and painting also continue to be a great influence. My preferred mediums are acrylic and graphite on canvas and on gessoed paper.
I was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1947, and have lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, since the mid-1970s. I graduated from the University of Arizona in 1970 with a BFA in Painting and a minor in Art History. I taught watercolor and drawing at the Tucson Museum of Art School from 1971 to 1976 and headed the Art Program at the New School of Santa Fe from 1976 to 1980. I’ve exhibited nationally and internationally since 1971, and have shown in many galleries. I have had many one-person exhibitions and have been in countless group exhibitions. My work is in many public collections: the permanent collection of the Capitol Arts Foundation in the New Mexico State Capitol building (Santa Fe), the Santa Fe Community College Foundation, Lovelace Health Centers in New Mexico, as well as others. New Mexico Arts has purchased my work several times, twice with the Purchase Initiative and once with the Acclaimed Artist Initiative. My work has been featured in many publications — Studio Visit magazine, the Albuquerque Journal, The New Mexican’s Pasatiempo, THE magazine, American Art Collector, Vasari 21, as well as others. The Film Department of the Santa Fe Community College produced a video of me and my work in connection with their permanent collection. I continue to work daily in my studio in Santa Fe.

Artist Statement: I am a painter who is inspired by the world around me, including the places I have traveled and explored. I want to share those experiences in my work as I continue the artistic journey and find new inspiration from the places, and people that surround me.
My paintings celebrate color, texture and a physical connection to the nature that each artwork represents. My goal is to create a sense of depth in each painting using thick, expressive, paint strokes, shadow and light. I work primarily in acrylic on canvas, building in layers and texture in a technique that usually is more representational of oil based work.
My hope is the dimensional approach of building my painting on the canvas will help connect you as the viewer, draw you in, and create a relationship with the Impressionistic / Open Impressionistic style of the artwork.

Karen Waters is a contemporary feltmaker whose focus is on sculptural felt, using traditional wet felting techniques. She often challenges herself by limiting her palette to two or three colors, which influences her decisions on how surface design, texture, and shape co-mingle. Karen's eco-conscious lifestyle spills over into her feltmaking, where she creates using rainwater and ethically sourced, eco-friendly fibers. She also offers online feltmaking workshops. Karen Waters is also the owner of the Santa Fe Wool & Supply Co.

My weavings are two strikingly different styles. I create New Mexico Rio Grande rugs and Japanese Saori style textiles and both are a direct result of living in two very special places. First, I learned the art of weaving Rio Grande rugs at the traditional Tierra Wools weaving center just down the road from our home, nestled in the beautiful Chama Valley. I use local, hand-dyed Churro wool and original style walking looms to create my rugs and wall hangings. My designs are often colorful and contemporary, but the Rio Grande style is carried through. The fabric I weave is Japanese Saori style, merged with traditional sakiori weaving from Japan. While living in Japan I was drawn to the eye-catching textiles. Their stunning use of color and subtle, yet complex designs are reflected in my woven fabric. I design and make simple, unique garments that are often based on the principles of origami. All a result of living in this mysterious land.

Art Meets Science Sandra Duran Wilson comes from a family of artists and scientists. She grew up in a world where all things were possible in her imagination. It was a world where she could look through the microscope in her fathers office and paint what she saw. Her early years were spent on the border of Mexico where the people, animals, landscape, music, culture and the stories of the curanderas shaped her reality. Years later she would return frequently to Mexico and South America to absorb the culture, traditions and art. Her spirituality combined with her scientific studies directed her work from realism to abstraction.

While Bette’s work has always derived inspiration from the human form, the transition from glass work to painting, printmaking, and papercuts provids a certain linear context exemplified by clean vibrant shapes and often including window forms.
Bette Yozell lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She works primarily in watercolor, papercut and printmaking. She received her BS in art education from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Her work has been shown internationally.
