Happening Now and Upcoming

Join us for another fun indoor/outdoor art event at beautiful Plaza Colonial. Wilde Meyer Gallery, Jane Hamilton Fine Art, and Karimi Rugs along with other Plaza Colonial businesses will again be raffling off items and offering other special “deals”.  Following Covid-19 guidelines.

“Dog Walk”                    Melinda D. Curtin                    15″ x 35″                    $950

Tucson Native, Melinda Curtin will be bringing beautiful new work for a special showing at this event.

Melinda Curtin transforms vintage windows and frames into surfaces for reverse glass painting. Inspired by the culture and stark beauty of both Tucson and greater the Sonoran region, Curtin’s color palette and subjects include traditional Mexican and Southwestern as well as those from her imagination.

Sculptor Jess Davila is also returning for this event.

Jess Davila spent his formative years in the beautiful State of Sonora, Mexico.  He grew up exploring and appreciating the unspoiled beauty of the desert and mountainous regions of his homeland.  Davila focuses on exploring a unique contemporary style.  A completely self-taught artist, Davila draws on his experiences with various mediums which allow him to express and develop the many facets of his artistic talent and to further develop his creative being.  Inspired by the shape, color and the texture of various stones, Davila creates a natural interpretation of what is already in his artist’s eye.

“Shall We Dance”        Sarah Webber        8″ x 16″        $775

Sarah Webber will be demonstrating her painting skills.

Sarah Webber is well known for her paintings of cows and wildlife which seem to possess personality, charm or even humor. Sarah delves into the details of her subjects capturing individuality, from the color of a nose, the spark she observes in the eyes, the thickness of fur or the curve of an ear. Webber’s art is expressive and spontaneous.

Also meet talented jewelry designers Adriana Walker, and Joan Robinson.  Lawrence Peters will be showing his unique naturally printed scarves.
