Peggy: " I'm excited about the Wine, Chocolate and Art shindig Sorrel Sky Gallery in Santa Fe is having to feature my paintings and Star York's sculptures. I love seeing everyone and catching up on your plans for the new year, so I hope you can join us at the reception at the gallery to check out the wine, the chocolates and our art.

"Plein air painter Peggy Immel and sculptor Star Liana York live, work, and explore in the New Mexico landscape that brings them unlimited inspiration. Whether it’s a cloudy sky or blue sky, golden aspens or green fields, Peggy’s paintings reflect the unique lighting of the Southwest with luminosity and atmospheric effect. At the start of each new piece, she asks herself, “Why are you painting this?” which helps her stay focused on her intent and goal. “I believe the ‘why’ of a painting matters more than the ‘what.’ The most exciting pieces to paint have both a visual and philosophical foundation.” – Peggy Immel. As she works in her studio Star patiently waits for her subject to make itself known in the clay. The range of her work reflects her interest in the people, animals, environment, and history of the region. A continuing source of inspiration for her bronze sculptures comes from exploring the native peoples of the Southwest and the mythology of ancient sacred sites. "When a character emerges from a work I am sculpting, I feel touched at a deeply intimate, subconscious level. It is the essence in a work of art that makes it intensely personal and entirely universal at the same time." – Star Liana York
