June at Amapola Gallery

​Celebrate June with “Oil and Mud,” a Featured Artist exhibit at artists’ co-op Amapola Gallery.
Gwen Peterson is our resident Serigrapher.  A serigraph is a silkscreen print using several screens.  Her use of an oil-based medium results in particularly intense colors. For this show, Gwen presents her series Churches of New Mexico, images from around the state.  While Peterson is celebrated for her series of tiny Siamese cats, the large size of many of her landscapes is unusual for the serigraph technique and would be a design focus for any room in home or office.

Sandra Moench transforms mud into marvels of function, pottery meant to be enjoyed and employed.  Plates, bowls, mugs, berry bowls, pitchers and more form a distinctive body of work.  Moench creates useful beauty from mud, using gentle hues of the Southwest and designs echoing the textures and colors surrounding her when she worked on the Navajo Nation.

“Oil and Mud” is featured at Amapola Gallery the entire month of June, daily from 10 to 5.
Meet the artists Friday, June 5, from 3 to 6 pm, for their reception.
