each member of the gallery has invited an artist friend to show in a special exhibition for the holiday season. digital artists, sculptors, ceramists and visual artists have been offered to show along with the members of the gallery in the arts district of santa fe over the holiday season for 2022.

i’ve selected Sherri Mabe (@starlitwaltz on instagram) to show with me. Sherri is an infrared photographer, specializing in black-and-white who often shows the desert and prairie for the beautiful wilderness areas they are.

Sherri has been someone whose work i’ve admired for a number of years, and we recently found ourselves in the same facebook photography group regarding photography. not only do she and i share a passion for the solitude and peacefulness provided by the natural world, we both have a passion for the preservation of it and an acknowledgement to those who have been stewards of these places throughout the years.

in addition to the D’art and Friends show in the main gallery, Simply Small 4 will be showing in Gallery East - an exhibit of small works by all of the member artists. pieces in this exhibit are cash and carry.

each member of the gallery has invited an artist friend to show in a special exhibition for the holiday season. dancers, poets, sculptors, ceramists and visual artists have been offered to show along with the members of the gallery in the arts district of santa fe over the holidays and into february, 2022.

i’ve selected Charles David Corbin (@disc.of.confusion on instagram) to show with me, a black-and-white photographer who beautifully shows the intricate details of nature.

i recall a similar show at a different gallery where i was speaking to one of the invited artists. he was beaming with pride at having one of his artistic pieces showing in a gallery. when D’art decided to do this show, i knew i had to select someone who’d never had the experience of having their work in a gallery. i’ve been a fan of Charles’ work for quite some time, and i’m excited and honored to have his work showing in the gallery next to mine.
