NM Cancer Center Gallery with a Cause: Feb 22 - May 12

https://nmcancercenter.org/gallery/

Patients struggling to meet expenses while under treatment will benefit from the sale of this art. 40% goes to the patients. Select artist link below for all paintings.

From Carla's link below: The New Mexico Cancer Center was constructed in 2001 with one of the primary design goals to surround patients and staff with beauty and light. The center was constructed as a living art gallery as well as a medical facility, filled with stunning, high-quality art, many created by local artists. The art is an integral part of the philanthropic efforts of the NM Cancer Center Foundation, dedicated to supporting patients coping with the non-medical costs of having cancer and other life-disrupting illnesses. In addition to financial assistance, the mission of Gallery with a Cause is to make the experience of being treated at the NM Cancer Center as supportive and warm as possible.

From Carol: Thanks to our super organized curator Regina over 400 pieces of art went on the walls.  The show may be viewed online or by appointment.

Risa Taylor:

 

"Abiquiu Always, Fall Fiesta and Magnificent Mounts are 3 of the group of my paintings that are part of The Art of Quarantine at The Gallery With A Cause. 40% of the sales go to pay for nonmedical needs (food, rent, gas, etc) of patients at New Mexico Cancer Center.

I am endlessly grateful and honored to be able to participate in this show. Thank you again to those of you who have already purchased paintings from this group.

Carla Forrest:

"This exhibit showcases the divergence of my artistic style into objective abstract painting inspired by the spectral luminosity of the night skies. This subject reflected my spiritual transformations while navigating through the dark night of the COVID pandemic--the mystery, beauty, and hope, which would eventually emerge into a new golden dawn."

Connie Falk: 

"The 20 landscape paintings in this show span the entire state of NM, since I have lived in Las Cruces, Farmington, and now Placitas, NM, and I have painted scenes of where I have lived and hiked in all three regions."

The oil paintings of New Mexico artists, Carla Forrest and Peggy Trigg, will be featured in a late winter/early spring show titled “Range of View” from February 5 through March 26 at Weryich Gallery in Albuquerque. Two dozen contemporary landscape paintings depicting a wide spectrum of New Mexico vistas will be on display, rotating over the months. 

Carla, nationally recognized for her palette knife and impasto oil paintings with vibrant color, studied art and design at State University of New York and Rochester Institute of Technology, and currently has a professional art studio in Old Town Albuquerque. She is the premiere president of Plein Air Painters of New Mexico, a non-profit organization of artists dedicated to preserving and promoting painting en plein air - in the open air or outdoors.

Peggy Trigg’s energetic landscapes are painted alla prima from direct observation using strong, intense colors that reflect the high contrast of the late afternoon or early morning light. This well-known professional artist and art educator’s love for the land springs from being raised in the country near Santa Fe. Currently living and painting in the Taos area, Peggy is a Signature Member of Plein Air Painters of New Mexico. Her paintings can be seen at multiple galleries throughout New Mexico. 

The opening reception with light refreshments (complying with public health ordinances) will be Friday February 5^th from 11 am to 6 pm at Weryich Gallery in Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights at 2935-D Louisiana NE. Meet artist Carla Forrest and learn about her approach to painting the new west.

Contact Valerie Tibbetts for timed-entry appointments or further information: 505-450-6516 or 505-883-7410 or go to the gallery website at www.weyrichgallery.com

PAPNM Member, Barbara Mulleneaux: "For me, I think the plein air movement has been my biggest “aha”. Until I began painting outdoors I didn’t really have a direction or solid ground to plant a seed. When I started painting en plein air, it clicked. The seed was planted and took." Click here for full interview. in Arizona Shoutout.

Peggy Immel: "I'm excited to be joining Eric tomorrow on his daily Facebook Live show. Topics? Managing and mixing color ... atmospheric perspective ... and painting clouds. Here's the link Click here

Should be fun! "
