NUDES, COWS AND TRUCKS will be Anita West’s silkscreen presentation for the June show! We await with anticipation, as Anita’s work is ALWAYS DELIGHTFUL. You won’t want to miss this special presentation.
Anita uses her artistic vision and expertise to transform a row of post boxes, old-fashioned telephones, a chicken, a flower or a Chaco Canyon doorway into a sublime watercolor. It’s no wonder that she has a following dating back to the 1980s, when she had her Pushpin Gallery in downtown Santa Fe. Anita also serves as the curator of the art shows and always creates a stunning display.
