Card Reader by Judith Mariner

Judith is a local artist living and working in Tucson. Her primary life focus is philosophy, metaphysics and the multi-dimensionality of consciousness.  Her work is investigative and fueled by awe, longing, and divine discontent, which she believes are the handmaidens of creation and evolution.

Women In the Bath by Judith Mariner

Judith’s college B. A. is in music performance and her visual art talents are self taught . She has been a guest working artist at the Drawing Studio here in Tucson.

By learning through experience she now uses her talents to teach others watercolor, oil and drawing through private lessons at various Parks and Recreation centers while raising her two children as a single mom. Judith’s work is not easily categorized. She covers a range from landscape, portraits, psychological studies and abstracts.

Boundaries by Alison Helm

The public art auction being held at the Stone Dragon Studio (Inside Art Gallery on Stone/Speedway)”ON A SMALL ROLL” during December was the idea developed by Moira Geoffrion, a U. of A. Fine Arts Professor.  The concept refers to the fact that if one takes small steps creatively, that one can get “on a roll” and move towards creative and intellectual growth, and hopefully towards college studies in the arts.

Art teachers from Cholla High School and Pistor Middle School have art classes but do not have art rooms and very little funds for art supplies.  This fundraising art auction is intended for these existing classes and for special workshops for local artists working with school kids. Several art students at Cholla are quite excited about this exhibition/fundraiser, and have donated art for this auction.

SPRING by Mimi Daniel

Some very unique and thought provoking reliefs, paintings, photographs and sculptures created by the art class 496S at the University of Arizona is now on public exhibition at the Holy Joe Studio located within the Art Gallery on Stone/Speedway.  The U. Of A. art class taught by artist and professor Moira Geoffrion,  is a capstone course, which prepares the students to excel in the professional art world.

DEMETER'S WORKS by Salvatore Leo

The art exhibition itself focuses on giving new and fresh artists a voice to be heard; a place to not only share their creations, but also to expose the public to new views and opinions. This  showing offers great opportunity to view and purchase work by new emerging artists at reasonable prices.

DIALATED DREAM SCREAM by Robert Bayze

Included in the show is a “Wall-In-Progress” in which any artist or visitor to the exhibition can paint, draw, etc. on the surface as a collaborative on-going work of art.

Students are given the opportunity to not only exhibit in a professional art gallery, but to also get that real-world experience of curating a group show. This involves selecting the art, pricing it realistically for the marketplace, displaying it in a cohesive, visually satisfying manner, advertising to the public… and more! Art students from the UA and Pima College are collaborating on this event.

NEW TRADITIONS by Madelaine Sarbo

SONIC CONIC by Andy Cook

Chris Broduer’s amazing oil paintings speak directly to the theme of the show.  Mimi Daniel has personified the cycles of nature in the Celtic tradition with her Greenmen made from porcelain, encaustic, & oils.  Madelaine Sarbo creates with a modern modular paper collage technique.

The Opening Reception for “Can You Hear Me Now?” will be this Saturday, November 6^th from 5-7 pm.
