“Whimsical,” “mystical,” “mythical,” “enchanting…” Tucson artists Christine Zabramny and Betty Seery have teamed up to illuminate our gallery. Zabramny’s dynamic compositions and Seery’s bright flowers invite the viewer to disappear into a world of color and light.
Images of American Indians infused with the history and mythology of the American West have made John Coleman one of the nation’s most highly regarded contemporary artists. This exhibition, made possible by Frankie and Howard Alper, provides an unparalleled opportunity to examine the career of this pioneering painter, sculptor and influential teacher. It includes creations in charcoal, graphite, oil and bronze, plus some works in progress. Coleman is an award-winning member of the Cowboy Artists of America, a Fellow Member of the National Sculpture Society and a Signature Member of the California Art Club.
