Color is the dominant element
in works by resident artists Susan
Curington; Jo Pomeroy Crockett, writer
and artist; bead artist Gayle H. Seely;
and abstract painter Renee Rowe.
Introducing prize-winning artist
Mike Mason, who uses carefully dried,
pressed and placed botanicals to
create art to support natural habitats
conservation.
“Abstract painting frees me to create
from the inside out. At times the works
seem influenced by the beauty of na-
ture. Other times they seem to develop
from pure imagination. Recently, the
works have several elements that in-
clude a movement of light fields, boxes,
and color transitions,” Rowe said.
Naturalist and biologist Neal Maine
will speak at 6 p.m. about the ecology
of the local habitat. Featuring live music
by Shirley 88.

Dough Dough Bakery

Artistic chef Jonathan Hoffman has
his fingers in a lot of pies. He is an
entrepreneur who works with local
farmers, fisherman and foragers to use
the freshest ingredients to feature in
his culinary fares. Hoffman enters the
September Art Walk arena featuring
Scott Colin Johnson.
Although Johnson’s landscape
studies are rooted in plein air painting,
early on he began to add the little
touches that rouse the imagination:
the faint treetops that indicate a valley
beyond the hill, or the tiny glint of water
that tantalizes over a grassy dune. These
hints at an unseen landscape beyond
the one we see were an introduction to
his dream world.

“Billy Lutz, owner of the gallery, is
a magnificent artist,” Amy Kiefer, a
freelance Gilbert District reporter said.
“His works transcend pure aesthetics
and delve into the abstract realm of
the metaphysical to evoke an intense
spiritual and intellectual response. In the
true spirit of his paintings, Lutz eclipses
his physical limitations through his fath-
omless ardor for philosophy. Afflicted
with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary
degenerative eye disease, Lutz continues
expressing his brilliant theories through
poignantly conceptual art.”
