Belassen’s abstracted figurative works use line to separate and connect spatial elements to the figurative elements.
Ellsworth’s varied series of paintings feature stylized animals in various states of interaction either with each other or their surroundings.
Hale works in abstract explorations of fields of color. Inspiration comes from both manmade and natural environments, and how they interact with each other.

“Mise en Scène” will be opening December 4th, 7 – 9 PM to celebrate the Scottsdale Holiday ArtWalk. This group show features beautiful works by some of Wilde Meyer’s favorite artists including Bill Colt, Monika Rossa, Sushe Felix, Sherri Belassen, and many more. Show to hang through January 3rd.
Cheerful, sublime, original, and fun could describe the art in this invigorating group show. Wonderful works that are perfect for giving to others – or yourself. Featured are works by Connie Townsend, Acacia Alder, Charles Davison, Michael Swearngin, Kathryn Willis, Tracy Miller, and more. Show to hang through January 3rd, 2015.
These works may be small, but their impact is anything but. Just in time for the holidays, “Small Works – Big Impressions” features wonderful works that are perfect for giving to others – or yourself! Many of Wilde Meyer’s favorite artists will be displayed in this group show including Jim Nelson, Andrea Peterson, Chaille Trevor, Kari Rives, and many more. Show to hang through January 10th, 2015.
To celebrate Wilde Meyer’s 31st Anniversary, there will be a group show featuring many of the Wilde Meyer artists. These will include Sherri Belassen, Ryan Hale, Patrick Coffaro, Karen Bezuidenhout, Jamie Ellsworth, Tracy Miller, Earl Linderman, Linda Carter Holman, Charles Davison and more. Show to hang until November 30th.
Many artists are inspired by nature. Some use a cerebral view of nature to extend their visions of what art is about. There may be basic silhouettes or recognizable forms of nature in abstract art. Other works are abstract to the point that no recognizable forms are seen and leave the viewer to contemplate just the strokes or composition.
Artists showing include Ryan Hale, Ava Young, Robert Charon, Ana Marini, and others. Show to hang through November 30th.
Art is a unique experience shared by an artist and the collector of the artist’s work. The artist expresses himself through creating the work of art. The collector expresses himself through an emotional connection by liking and acquiring a piece of art. Sometimes the “urge to have” is nothing more than a visual appeal of the colors.
Alternatively, the piece may appeal on a deeper emotional level by transmitting something secret to a collector. Artists expressing themselves include the textured depiction of saguaros by Diane Barbee. Patricia Hunter shows impeccably rendered animal watercolors. Robert Burt’s visions of vintage automobiles in stylized landscapes are included.
In conjunction with the Express Yourself show, Wilde Meyer Gallery will be hosting a reception on Thursday November 20th, 5 – 7 PM. We are pleased to announce that we have several artists participating in the Tucson Mountain Oyster show. Artist Sarah Webber will be painting in the gallery. Expressing Themselves through their paintings, Mountain Oyster participants: Sarah Webber, Tracy Miller, Amy Watts, Barbara Gurwitz and Roger Alderman’s work will be shown.
Dia De Los Muertos October opens October 23, 7 – 9 PM during Scottsdale’s 40th Anniversary Art Walk. The reception displaying a traditional alter and refreshments will happen October 30, 7 – 9 PM. Whether you celebrate Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Halloween, or All Souls Day you are sure to find art to your liking in this special show.
Wilde Meyer artists have entered surprising works of art to participate in this tradition. At the October 30 reception, we will be serving Pan Dulce and Dia De Los Muertos Pan. Participating artists include Melinda Curtin, Kathryn Blackmun, Linda Carter Homan, Andrea Peterson, Stephen Morath and many more. Show to hang through November 8.
Presenting “Go Figure” opening October 23, 7 – 9 PM to celebrate the Scottsdale 40th Anniversary ArtWalk. This show will examine how artists approach figurative works.
Sherri Belassen approaches figures, whether human or animal, with a contemporary layered and abstracted approach. Feet are attenuated, bodies stretched to exaggerated lengths, and represented as angular patterned planes. Earl Linderman paints humans in storytelling settings, flying airplanes, driving fast cars – living the high life of romance and intrigue.
Monica Rossa’s style is softer. Sometimes her young women’s’ ethereal bodies seem to have no underlying bone structure, but are instead supported by the atmospheric background. Sculptor Tony Dow’s bronze sculptures show the essence of human figures, caught in moments of time, vaulting, diving or performing other athletic feats.
