Vibrant, colorful, abstract landscape painting, buzzing with activity. Predominantly warm tones, but colors vary widely. Lots of "dashes" of color to create sense of movement and activity. Very upbeat.

#AlejandroMacias 's portraits explore identity, place & belonging shaped by life in the borderlands. His paintings & mixed-media works consider migration, assimilation & the layered nature of cultural experience.

We are sad to announce the passing of our friend #JayDusard (1937-2025). His 25,000 mi. odyssey across North America photographing cowboys/women is one of the great stories of the American West. He was the real deal and we will miss him dearly. #northamericancowboy #arizonaartist #bnwphotography

We shot this video announcement in Jim Waid's sunlit studio this morning. Isn't that landscape painting stunning?

Waid, Gipe, and Macias all have strong ties to UA's School of Art, reflecting its influence on the region’s contemporary art community.
