Sorrel Sky Gallery will host a workshop with artist, Stephen Day on The Basics of Landscape Painting in Durango, Colorado on Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 1. Participants will learn the basics of painting the western and southwestern landscapes with Day doing daily demonstrations.

Day is a full-time artist in New Mexico and primarily paints in oil. He is known for the big skies in his paintings and appreciates the embers of light that send a certain glow to these partly cloudy scenes. He captures a specific moment in time and enjoys portraying how this time of day is reflected on the landscape below. Day’s subjects are from life but the landscape is his first love. He says, “This work philosophy forces me to paint quickly to get a spontaneous and fresh response, because everything around us, including ourselves is in a constant state of change.”

Sorrel Sky Gallery’s 3rd Annual Artists Workshop Series is scheduled over weekends to encourage artists to come and stay to the location and enjoy the experience of learning with a master and getting to know the arts community in both Durango and Santa Fe. For more information and to register for a workshop call (970) 247-3555. A complete listing of workshops is available at http://www.sorrelsky.com. Hotel accommodation packages are also available to those traveling.

A new day is a new piece.”

Sorrel Sky Gallery continues to showcase world-class artists and owner, Shanan Campbell Wells is honored to welcome her newest addition photographer and artist, Barbara Bowles. Famously known as “The Pickup Artist®”, Bowles will kick off the New Year with her one-woman show, “Another Door Opens” during Santa Fe’s First Friday ArtWalk on Friday, January 2 from 5 – 7:30 p.m.

Bowles was raised in the northeast, but drawn to the light and beauty of New Mexico about 13 years ago.  After 10 years of owning and operating her own gallery in Santa Fe featuring her photographic series, she states “Doors can represent the choices we have to make in our lives” and believes “another door will open when we are ready to walk through it.”  She is excited to begin a new journey with such a fine gallery.

Bowles photographs are printed with pigmented inks on watercolor paper that brings out the natural textures and colors of the rusted trucks. The subject may be old but the compositions are very abstract and contemporary. Bowles sees life and love in rusty trucks and considers the work truck as a metaphor for life’s journeys.

Shanan Campbell Wells, gallery owner says “having Barbara at our gallery is such a wonderful gift and we are excited to represent her work in Santa Fe.”

Sorrel Sky Gallery​ ​welcome​​s jewelry artist and designer, Elizabeth Showers ​​showcasing a special selection of her ​beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces​. Just in time for the holidays, the public is encouraged to stroll in to the gallery, Friday,December 5 from 5 – 7:30 p.m. for the First Friday Art Walk in Santa Fe.

Showers artistic creations began at her grandmother’s kitchen table at a very young age and those memories continue to inspire her designs. She studied at the Gemological Institute ofAmerica in California and has traveled around the world as one can see by the exotic influences of Africa, Thailand and the Far East in her work.

Early in Showers’ life she struggled with an eating disorder and found her way through that healingjourney by creating intricately beaded jewelry for the people who were important during her recovery. That experience set her on a path to use her talents to empower women to feel beautiful both inside and out. Showers says she “wants to create pieces that inspirea woman’s self confidence and make her feel beautiful.”

Shanan Campbell Wells, gallery owner says “it’s always a joy to see Elizabeth and see our customers’ face when considering a pair of her exquisite pieces. She sends a strong and beautiful message to women through her designs.
