Linda Lee Johnson
$150.00


Artist statement: Especially influenced by the paintings of Diego Rivera, Grant Wood, and Andrew Stevovich, I create narrative art of life as we live it, with a dash of social commentary. I aim for my oil paintings to be clear and unambiguous in technique, yet open to interpretation. I began my artistic development in childhood. I also took extra art courses in high school and college. After retiring I began painting in oils.

Lydia Kinney
$300.00


Artist statement: Lydia Kinney favors art that articulates a relationship to self, to body, space, and form. The strongest, most resonant work depicts the figure. Abstraction bridges the gap between this resonance and alienation of her own pragmatic approach to self and environment. Abstraction gives her the visual language to illustrate the sensation of loss (future tense), alienation (physical), and doubt. The work is environmental and ornamental, adorned views into fields of color, a near concealment of place.
Specific medium: Acrylic on Panel

This was a special solo acoustic tour he gave in Boston and was something new he had never done previously. The show was just him utilizing a variety of instruments and he brought out this very special double-necked guitar and played his heart and soul out. This photo captured the spirit of that truly unique show with his emotion and the detail of his instrument. It is a show I will never forget.

Richard Lapping
$475.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: Flashback late 1970's: With enough food for an overnight stay my friend and I ventured into the canyon late one Saturday morning in the middle of winter. Thirty degrees warmer at Bright Angel campground, winter was a distant mile above us. We had no problem asking strangers who were heading out on Sunday morning if they had extra food they didn't want or need. For a week we survived on oatmeal, peanut butter, rice and powdered milk. And made plans to return more adequately prepared!
