The Arizona Arts & Culture Weekly Review

Local Stories

The Influencers

Wellness Wednesdays

Throughout history, societies and communities that embraced the arts often found themselves at the forefront of social and political change – decades ahead of those that have discouraged or diminished the role of the arts in their societies. Our rich history of social and political progress is due in no small part to the active and courageous artistic community that calls Arizona home. We hope that by highlighting the rising stars of our local art community on a weekly basis, we can help increase our community’s engagement with local art and the artists that devote their life to moving society forward.

Wending Bleeds and Buildings, 2012, watercolor, ink and pastel, 8" x 9 3/16". This emotive small painting is available to view and purchase at @roysecontemporary in @scottsdaleartsdistrict .

"Wedding Views" Acrylic on canvas 10" x 20" I painted this from a photo that was taken at my cousin's wedding in Arizona this past Feb. I adore their adventurous souls and am so happy for them. Wishing them a lifetime of love and adventures 🌵💖 #weddingpainting #arizonaart #palletknifepainting #landscapes #weddinggift #artist #giftart #desertscape #emergingartist #desertwedding #love

🍃 A little extra warmth today, considering I've been painting with some pretty cool colors lately. 😊 No words came to mind today, just the need to create. 💚 Hope everyone's Friday is off to an amazing start! Happy Friday!! ✌❤🏹 🍃 . . . #art #artheals #artistsoninstagram #artist #phoenixartist #azartist #artismeditation #watercolor #watercolors #watercolorpainting #foliage #abstractpainting #abstractart #abstraction #abstractwatercolor #abstract #watercolorflorals #watercolor_gallery

I think we'll call this one done. A couple things came to me as I was drawing. • First, I should have taken care of my nails before I took the photo – they're pretty gnarly. • Second, hands give away our age…😕 . . #ceramics #idraw #dessadogstudio #azartist #hand #bird #romans1 #study #graphite #lousypaper

Trays r us. Just unloaded 15 new appetizer trays from the kiln. It’s not the most fun thing to fire a kiln in the summer let alone one in Arizona when it’s 110f out. Can’t believe I used to do this every week at the Mesa Arts Center. Still love unloading and seeing how work comes out. This tray has agave drawings that also look like flames. Summer is upon us. #trays #ceramictray #handmade #handmadeclayart #design #displaytray #jeffreich #indigostreetpottery #itshothereinmesa #arizonaartist #mesaazartist
