Artist Reception: Friday November 19, 5-7pm

Nuart Gallery
670 Canyon Rd
Santa Fe, NM 87501

Beverly Kedzior creates pop paintings of organic shapes and richly layered abstractions that merge imagery inspired by cartoons, medical books, and DNA.

Emilio Lobato uses shapes, light, color and relationships to convey the essence or “spirit” of the world around him. He is interested in reducing his subjects to their basic elements.

Joseph Ostraff’s paintings evoke the varied shapes and motifs of human cultures and geography, using subtle color gradations and rich patterning.

Willy Bo Richardson creates paintings using simple vertical lines and redolent color that question themselves, including inner doubt and outer pressure revealing a total expanse of possibility.

Judy Woods orchestrates line, shape and color to create a balanced complex design that draws the viewer close and then reveals the unexpected in the richness of the surface.

Artist’s Guide to Starting a Profitable Side Gig

side gig Santa Fe

By Brittany Fisher

Finding a side gig that checks every box on your list can be challenging. Many people need something flexible that offers more than just seasonal hours, and of course, it has to be profitable enough to be worth your time. However, artists are among some of the most fortunate when it comes to finding a great side gig because creativity can lead to some amazing opportunities. It helps to have local resources at hand, so check out Santa Fe Art Studio to connect with other artists and to get access to a directory for artist services. Here are some things you need to know when it comes to finding and starting a side gig.

Set realistic goals

 Finding the right gig for you will involve several factors. First, you need to consider how much time you’ll realistically be able to commit to it while still being able to work on your art and take care of other responsibilities. You should also think about the intersection of your creativity and the new gig; if the job requires you to be creative, will you still enjoy that activity down the road? It can be difficult to be creative on demand. Thinking about these details first will help you figure out the right path for your needs. Of course, you should consider the advantages of working a side gig as well and weigh those when making a decision. These include the ability to work for yourself, working from home on your own schedule, and growing your clientele or audience as an artist.

On view through Jan, 9, 2022

New Mexico-based artist Joanna Keane Lopez’s practice reclaims adobe and wildcrafting traditions and celebrates the legacy of the adobera and enjarradora—women who are masters at constructing and preserving earthen buildings. Exploring the boundaries between large-scale installation and adobe architecture, Land Craft Theatre examines notions of home and functions as a stage for stories of connection.An intimate dialogue between artist and material, Land Craft Theatre enriches the viewer’s understanding of land-sourced materials, such as adobe and botanical dyes and brings each aspect of the creative process into focus. Comprising two large-scale sculptural installations (adobe and paper), Keane Lopez incorporates plant and insect dyes, land-sourced colored clays, and hand-harvested aliz (a traditional clay plaster) from New Mexico.

Oswaldo Maciá: New Cartographies Of Smell Migration | Santa Fe
On view through Oct, 31, 2021

New Cartographies Of Smell Migration | Santa Fe is a multi-sensory sculptural installation by Colombian artist Oswaldo Maciá celebrating movement and migration through sound, smell, and sight. 

Set among hand painted maps annotated with notes on the cultural history and biological role of smell, this olfactory-acoustic sculpture diffuses the fragrance of tree resins sourced from forests in El Salvador and Honduras. These resins have played major cultural, religious, and medicinal roles among Indigenous peoples of the Americas since time immemorial, and have been exported globally since the 16th century. The accompanying audio sculpture features a blend of sounds including wind recorded in various deserts around the world and insects from the Choco region rainforests of Colombia.
