Mary Sherwood is a fabulous local glass artist who I met last year when she was exhibiting at an art walk. Yesterday I went to the opening of her solo show at the DeGrazia Gallery In the Sun where she is exhibiting for the next two weeks at the Little Gallery.
Her clothes are as colorful as her art!!!
Here's the other post I did about her at the art walk:
This is the adobe gallery where she's exhibiting. It was built by the artist Ted DeGrazia from the earth that surrounds it and is infused with artistic touches, like the rectangles in the walls that let the sun shine through colored glass. The picture below is what it looks like from inside the gallery.
DeGrazia's compound is a work of art itself, including the grounds full of native plants like the yellow brittlebush that's in full bloom.
The fireplace is in the softly colored living room of the little adobe house he built and lived in with his wife.
I left reluctantly, but next stop was La Encantada shopping center where I went to get my glasses adjusted and discovered some beautiful art murals by local artist Diana Madaras. Click on the signs to make them bigger if you have trouble reading it.
Her paintings were in the perfect setting at La Encantada, with its own arches, desert hued walls and spectacular bougainvillea in cobalt blue pots.
It was an inspirational day!
Have a colorful day
