LOUISA MCELWAIN | Distant Thunder
Opening, 5pm - 7pm Friday, January 26th through April 20th
Louisa McElwain was an exceptional artist who beautifully blended the traditions of early landscape art with the bravado of abstract expressionism. Her bold paintings of the American Southwest are grand expressions of an awe-inspiring love of nature. More than a window on the outdoors, her works offer visually immersive experiences that reveal her complete engagement with the natural world. Through her art, we glimpse the passionate individual who created them.

JAY BAILEY | East of the Sierras
Opening, 5pm - 7pm Friday, February 23rd through March 23rd
Inspired by memory and fragmentation, Jay Bailey makes paintings and drawings which create a fabric of images unique to his time and place in the American West. He references a landscape of grand mountains, dramatic skies, deteriorating casinos, hidden underground music venues, dirt country roads, and western and frontier folklore.
His paintings are collections of seemingly discordant marks, lines, blooms, and brush strokes which fall together in a singular voice. With a style influenced by the spirit of cut and paste photo collage, digital video distortion, and blind contour drawings, his images reside on representing the edge of where a thing is and isn’t.
