UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
FORMS OF DEVOTION
Devotion: Love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause. There are many types of devotion. Some, but not all, involve religion or spirituality. Do they share characteristics, no matter what the subject is? Are there similarities in devotional rituals and forms?
Curated by Joan Roberts Garcia and Karen Hymer

Paintings and Drawings by Mattoose

Manticore The Sower
We are pleased to present recent work by Silver City artist, Mattoose.
Quote by Mattoose:
“For me, the act of painting is a challenge. I do not set out to create a specific image or message from the start; I never know where I’m going. Rather, the act of painting creates the painting and its idea. And, if the challenge is good, then the image just presents itself; it’s a gift!
