Artists of the Month & New Artists

Artists of the Month: May 2023

John Glass

John, a watercolorist, is originally from rural Indiana and settled in the mountains outside of Deming, New Mexico. His pursuit of art is a daily routine. His works are accepted continually in state and regional competitions, along with awards from the Hoosier Salon, the Sarasota Art League, and Master Works of New Mexico. He is a signature member of the New Mexico Watercolor Society.

Richard Spellenberg

Richard works with wood. Originally from California, he is retired from NMSU as a biology professor, and has lived in Las Cruces since 1968. A botanist, he has written several books directed toward the amateur who is interested in plants of the Southwest. His medium, wood, is a continuation of his scientific endeavors. He has a minor in art with woodturning courses. He ‘toyed’ with his father’s treadle lathe as a teenager, and since retirement, his interest in the differences in the wood and patterns has deepened.

New Gallery Artist

Noël Sandino

Noël is a multi-disciplinary abstract artist who uses bold colors and expressive ideas in her fine art printmaking. She loves pattern and visual texture and often explores how layers interact and create depth and interest in her work. She uses an etching press in her studio for her monoprints and woodcuts where she also teaches small groups. Her philosophy on art making is simply to keep exploring new ideas and to keep it fresh. Her body of work is varied and includes animals, figures and abstractions of nature and musical ideas.

In addition, the gallery artists offer art in many media, which include:
original paintings, photography, jewelry, ceramics, fabric collage,
stained glass and gourds, as well as affordable note cards and prints.
