Leonard Curley Leonard Curley was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where the landscapes and traditions of his home state and the greater Southwest shaped his artistic vision. He is Native American, Navajo (Diné), and his heritage is the foundation of his work, informing both the subjects he chooses and the reverence with which he approaches them. He finds his expression in fine art photography, a study of light, story, and identity, an exploration of how culture and landscape shape one another. What began as a hobby of trying to capture beautiful scenery has grown into a body of work that honors sacred land, historic sites, and the living culture of New Mexico. Annual journeys to iconic places such as Antelope Canyon, Monument Valley, and Canyonlands National Park renew his connection to the land of his ancestors, while his lens also turns toward the cultural heritage and everyday beauty of the Southwest. Through his photography, he captures more than scenery; he reveals the spiritual depth, enduring traditions, and quiet magnificence that define New Mexico and the greater Southwest. His work reflects a balance of artistry and authenticity, mindful of the Navajo Nation, Pueblo communities, and the traditions that continue to shape his home state. “I strive for authenticity in my art, but nature and culture have already done most of the work. The beauty is there within the land and its people. I do my best to reveal it.”

Rebecca Olesen Rebecca Olesen’s work is landscape, utilizing acrylic paint on canvas, applied with both brushes and palette knives. Two of Olesen’s techniques are glazing and stippling. She emphasizes mood, energy, and drama in her work, and seeks to capture the essence of a place in each piece. Olesen received a BA in fine art from UNM, majoring in studio art, and paints full time in her studio in Albuquerque. She participates in many juried art shows and exhibits. Rebecca grew up in Northern New Mexico and is still inspired by the beautiful southwestern vistas.

Elzbieta Kalata My art creative process is all about colors, shapes, patterns, and textures explored in the medium of paper cutout (popular and famous in my native country, Poland). Same interests and tendencies apply to other media I enjoy working with, such as collage, mixed media, and photography.

Landscape artist Christopher Miller grew up appreciating the vast, colorful vistas of New Mexico. That love of the landscape combined with a love of French and American Impressionist and post-Impressionist art led to his current pursuit of painting the New Mexico landscape. He paints both in the studio and “en plein air”, or outdoors, viewing the subject matter directly. Plein air presents challenges, but it also helps cement his love for the landscape and it further develops his abilities to capture color, temperature, light and value. His plein air paintings often serve as studies for larger paintings in the studio, but sometimes they work as a beautiful pieces of art in themselves.

Kristin Parrott My watercolors are interpretive and evocative rather than realistic. They tend to feature bare trees and a raven or two against a color - intense sunset sky. My first oil painting, at age 13, was of a bare tree on a hill at sunset. This just may be an obsession. I studied stone carving with Lakota carver Delbert Charging Crow and have been carving hands and whimsical creatures now for 16 years (but who is counting?) using files, rasps, and chisels but no power tools. I have lived in Iran, Liberia and five US states and traveled over much of the world. This varied and interesting background influences all my work. Each of my pieces is meditation, affirmation, and prayer.

Patricia Martinez Apt Patricia Apt grew up in NM surrounded by the art and craftwork so unique to our state. She finds her artistic expression in woodturning. Throughout a long career in a technical field, she was often dabbling in various crafts in her spare time. Woodturning was a more recent discovery and once she retired, she could focus her creative interest on the craft. She began learning the craft of woodturning in 2011 and over time she progressed from craft to creating more artful pieces. She uses a variety of woods to make boxes, bowls, platters and other functional pieces. She also creates artistic forms and specializes in woodturned miniatures inspired by the pottery of the Pueblos here in the southwest. Using her lathe and woodturning tools she enjoys the process of carving out a form from a piece of wood, be it a functional bowl or a decorative art piece. “I strive for perfection in my art, however nature has already done most of the work. The beauty is there within the wood. Nature has already made something beautiful. I do my best to reveal it.”
