Who I Am

"Almost a native" goes the saying if you have lived in Phoenix for a good chunk of your life. That's me -- a desert rat -- and my experiences as a writer and editor have led me to believe that our local art scene is highly underrated. This website might not remedy that, but it will introduce readers to museums and galleries and art in public spaces -- all around our beautiful desert Valley.

Same spot, almost exactly three years later. Still in Colorado! #differentsunglasses

It’s gonna take a lot of work to unify our country. Learn about one Arizona artist’s efforts to foster civility, compassion and courage through a massive participatory textile art project. See the article on my website Explore Art: Denver. #thevioletprotest #annmorton #textileart #publicengagementart #socialpracticeart #peacefulprotest

Amid all the math-based hard-edge geometric abstractions in “Clark Richert in hyperspace” @mca_denver it was a treat to come across this work by Karen McClanahan from Clarkdale AZ in the complementary show “The Nth Dimension.” McClanahan veers from straight lines to suggest landscapes, and this double canvas “Mug Shot (blue #001) brought me right back to Arizona. #karenmcclanahan #clarkrichert #geometricabstraction #mcadenver #arizonalandscapes

The Suhas Bhujbal show “Summer” struck me as quite resonant as the season winds down, especially this oil on canvas “Market No. 11,” with its interplay of light and shadow as it captures a crowded scene. A worthwhile stop along Laguna Beach’s gallery row. #suhasbhujbal #suegreenwoodfineart #summersend #lagunabeach #exploringorangecountyart

“Yearning to Breathe Free” by Nery Gabriel Lemus is a succinct but powerful installation that juxtaposes the famous Emma Lazarus / Statue of Liberty sonnet with the struggles of today’s immigrants and the accompanying charged dialogue. @nerygabriellemus uses watercolor portraits, sculptures and rugs to tell highly humanistic stories. Continuing thru Sept. 16. #nerygabriellemus #grandcentralartcenter #yearningtobreathefree #immigration #exploringorangecountyart

Recognize the famous piece of public art behind me? It’s “Big Sweep” (2006) by Coosje van Bruggen and Claes Oldenburg right outside @denverartmuseum. C’mon over to @deborahross5280 to follow my explorations of the art scene in the Mile High City and beyond. #bigsweep #oldenburg #publicart #denverartmuseum #denverartscene
