Medium: Bronze sculpture, figurative painting
“I fell in love with oil painting when I was 12 years old and I have been painting ever since. After receiving my BFA with an emphasis in oils, I continued painting every opportunity I could, studying with various instructors, and stretching my skills. I am a representational painter and love working from life, but I am particularly inspired by the Impressionists and try to keep a fresh and painterly handle with my brush strokes. Every week we hire a different model in costume, so you will see many figurative paintings in my galleries. I love to paint Landscapes as well as Still-Lifes, using both brushwork and palette knife. I paint specific commission pieces, too."

Roger Alderman
Approaching Storm
|
Medium: Oil
I love the landscape of the West and my work is an emotional and colorful response to what I see. I am a contemporary landscape painter grounded in the traditions of Impressionism and Expressionism. My work builds on those traditions through the expressive power of paint applied with brushes and palette knives. My painting is formed by years of observing and painting the landscape on location en plein air. I work directly in oil paint outdoors and in the studio creating a contemporary and colorful interpretation of the landscape and architecture of the American Southwest. I love the beauty of these Western States and I am always looking for the visual poetry that tells me to stop and paint.

Medium: Steel
The essence of animals that I love, is created in steel. While I do other forms of art, like drawing with graphite and pastel, the steel work expresses my fondness for movement in a very solid medium. Live animals relate to us with a look, a breath, and a lick. I am trying to get a little rememberance of that with the steel. The endangered animals are a memory and warning to protect them, even if seldom seen. Jaguars live here!

Richard Jones
From the Seed
|
Medium: Repurposed Salvage Farm Implements My entry into the art community was brought on by a find in a local Tucson antique store 3 years ago. I did not, at the time, know what it was but it intrigued me. As it turned out it was a Rotary Hoe Wheel from a salvaged Rotary Hoe/Cultivator farm implement. I wanted a way to display it at my house,so after some trial and error, I came up with framing it on a plain wood background. That has lead to various other methods of displaying them in what I hope is an appealing manner. I have taken my interest in that first wheel and now "collect" them. The many different designs, from plain to ornate, have drawn me to want to share them and bring them into homes where they might be appreciated by others for their history and design.

Andrea Edmundson and Victor Quiros are the founders of Upcycle Tucson, a creative re-use arts center. They both create art from recycled and reclaimed materials. Andrea specializes in mosaics, using industrial cast-offs as substrates and found & personal items as tesserae. Victor creates sculptures and metal wall art from scrap metal. He finds his pieces in dumpsters, at scrap yards, and Upcycle Tucson (which sells traditional and quirky arts & crafts supplies). Both are dedicated not only to keeping usable materials out of the landfill, but to educating the public about upcycling/recycling and creating innovative art from scrap.

Medium: Pine needle art
I have been making pine needle baskets for over 10 years, but recently have been combining the pine needles with my pottery. However, I feel the real beauty of a coiled basket is in the coiled center where the basket begins and then takes on an adventure of its own. This can be done using a variety of many stitches, wrappings and even using different colored needles. Each piece is unique from 274 very simple to more complex.

Medium: Acrylic
I have been a elementary librarian/Art teacher in in Public schools for 36 years. The Art that I saw in children’s picture books, I purchased for my libraries, inspires me. I feel Art in children’s books is whimsical and fun to look at. As an artist I have always wanted to capture what those books do. Sometimes I add a little humor in my work and when people ask what kind of Art I create – and I show them a picture of one of my paintings they go: “OH!” with a smile and their face lights up. I like that. Open both days Studio Name: redglassesart Clubhouse 101 West River Road Tucson, AZ Pima 85704 Phone: 406-896-8229 Email: redglassesart@gmail.com |
