    ByLarry February 9, 2023February 10, 2023

Art & Art-Centric Events

We provide notifications of our “art-centric” events through email. Soirees have become an occasion for professional creatives to gather for an evening event.

Our Open Studio Sale is on October 22, 2023.

Our studio/home sits in the private Cinnabar Canyon in Sunnyslope. It overlooks the city lights of Phoenix and is surrounded by the natural desert of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.

Our art is shaped and seasoned by our beautiful desert environment. Come and see. As cooler weather arrives, we will be hosting a series of small get-togethers with particular themes, such as an evening of Plein Air painting. Subscribe to learn more about these events.

Don’t worry; we don’t have time to send you spammy emails even if we really want to. We’re too busy making beautiful things.
