Our outdoor studios are used for welding, woodwork, and finish sanding. The desert is taxing when working outdoors, I somehow honor the heat. Another studio area focuses on casting and mixing resin with rare-earth minerals, and final assembly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Half of the studio space has become a gallery space that exhibits my work under very dark conditions using UV light. It activates the rare-earth minerals to create a light described by many as a bioluminescent light. The color and light spectrum sometimes is described as metaphysical. While another studio is devoted to painting and converted into a shipping area during the last part of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My online gallery shows my artwork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-kb-palette-1-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-poetry-reading\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(2,3,129) 0%,rgb(40,116,252) 42%)\">Poetry Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n<style>.kb-image_e9ff50-af.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .kb-image_e9ff50-af .kb-image-is-ratio-size{max-width:-2px;width:100%;}.wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_e9ff50-af.kb-image-is-ratio-size, .wp-block-kadence-column > .kt-inside-inner-col > .kb-image_e9ff50-af .kb-image-is-ratio-size{align-self:unset;}.kb-image_e9ff50-af figure{max-width:-2px;}.kb-image_e9ff50-af .image-is-svg, .kb-image_e9ff50-af .image-is-svg img{width:100%;}.kb-image_e9ff50-af .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image_e9ff50-af\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" data-src=\"https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3478 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts.jpg 1440w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/641;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-1024x641.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-3478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-1024x641.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/larryjortega.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/rosemary-starts.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption>Rosemarie takes the mic<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Poetry has always been an idea for Obliq Art.

I create a still-life setup and then create a landscape scene around it resulting in a painting that evokes the beauty and desolation of the desert.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am obsessed with the hidden nature of things. As a painter of surreal desert landscapes I produce work that reveals the luminous beauty hidden in displaced objects and barren desolate horizons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The types of objects I select to use as reference for my paintings are usually heavily rusted and broken pieces of metal. Reusing these discarded objects gives them a second life and a beauty they may not have originally had as tools or other useful items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my objective to bring the viewer into the picture plane as if they are actually visiting. I want to take them out of the physical world and give them a feeling of traveling to a new and uncharted world. I want the viewer to be transformed by the image. I want to show them places they have never imagined.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel.kb-gallery-id-_35fe02-bd .kt-blocks-carousel

class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-2 kadence-column_d241d4-ef\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>Sally Murphy is largely a self-taught artist. As a child had a natural talent for drawing.<br>Later in life found it to be her true calling. She finished college at 42 with a<br>practical degree of a Bachelor of Science, in Environmental Health of her love of<br>nature. She then promptly and organically stepped on the artist&#8217;s path never using that<br>degree. The artist&#8217;s path allowed her the freedom to release the creativity that was<br>a constant swell in her life. During this time she developed her talent for a<br>subtractive method of painting utilizing cut-up sheets and rags and her fingers to<br>create very detailed images of trees, nests, and vignettes of nature. She found herself<br>wanting to capture the deeper sweetness and connection of the natural world and<br>evoke the moods and feelings that nature brings.<br>Later, being impatient with the slow drying process of oils she began working with the<br>fast-drying acrylics in between paintings. In the acrylic medium, she found herself<br>often accessing a deeper internal dialogue. She often uses a mildly<br>meditative state to begin, not knowing where or what she will be painting. Colors<br>tend to be bright and lively and harmonizing. You can find Sally working<br>from her home in Jerome Arizona, a small artist community near Sedona perched on<br>the side of Cleopatra Hill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-gallery-type-fluidcarousel.kb-gallery-id-_72391f-43 .kt-blocks-carousel .kt-blocks-carousel-init .kb-slide-item{padding:4px

Spectacle\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/tolsunbooks.com\/shop\/gravity-amp-spectacle\">https:\/\/tolsunbooks.com\/shop\/gravity-amp-spectacle<\/a>. This is his collaborative work with photographer and fellow poet, Jia Oak Baker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-kb-palette-1-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-magical-review\">A Magical Review <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Cactus Head (the mask, the man, the poet) is a metonymy for Phoenix\u2014the wastelands and the outposts and the once-iconic venues, all of it juxtaposed with the ever-public persona of a dandy, someone (or something) as ubiquitous as street art and the steel shade structures that line our downtown streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The persona that Orion creates through verse \u2013 and that Oak Baker brings to life through the image \u2013is simultaneously the desert on drugs and in rehab. He is the curator of the ugly-beautiful, the faded bricks, and the fairytale horizon. Accordingly, Orion perfectly captures the limbo of modern life with the opening lines of the opening poem: <em>the Sonoran desert is an hourglass\/knocked on its side.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But maybe the most delicious part is the fact that the line between ego and alter ego is invisible here, that every poem leaves you feeling as though you\u2019re listening to the wire-tap tapes of some old-school hooligan (maybe Orion himself) like it\u2019s all a veiled confession in the spirit of Whitman\u2019s <em>Calamus<\/em> poems, arranged and rearranged into a secret sequence of desire and longing\u2014though not for the transcendent, but rather for the ephemera, the scraps of pop culture and personal desire he\u2019s collected along the way.

I am inspired by the natural world&#8217;s hues, contours, and textures of canyon walls, sand patterns, tree bark, sandstone formations, plant life, and intricate organic designs in stone. Most often, we admire nature from a distance; it&#8217;s an entirely different experience when viewed close-up. The intricate detail, shapes, and designs are formed biologically by wind, water, and fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chemistry also inspires me. The effects of chemical reactions on copper produce an array of vivid colors and patterns \u2013 I like to say it&#8217;s when chemistry becomes &#8216;art.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial step in my creative process is to create and photograph patina-style copper. Then I digitally merge one or more copper photos with one or more close-up images of nature. I scale, skew, or distort to enhance the texture detail and depth of the composition. Nature gives us our most spectacular art forms, but I add another dimension, perspective, twist, and thought-provoking view to send the viewer on a visual journey. The final composite image is printed on metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conjuring ideas for a new piece is an explorative, challenging process that I enthusiastically welcome. An individual&#8217;s journey to serenity is uniquely their own. For me, it is the creative process. It comes from within, it cannot be rushed, and it evolves as it is nurtured. As long asI can be creative on some level; peace exists within; it feeds my spirit and soul.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

Most of all, to inspire others to better this world. I want people to be excited as I am for a project and to be inspired to do more with every opportunity that is given to them.
