"The Woods in Autumn"
By Romona Youngquist
Located in Scottsdale, AZ
Romona Youngquist was born on January 11, 1960 in Yuba City, California, but grew up in Eastern Oklahoma. Youngquist essentially started out in life as a child of nature, spending her time exploring the woods with her dog and collecting critters. While exploring, she also studied the design and color of nature. She recalls many times standing in a field just staring in fascination at the values of the deciduous trees against a dark Oklahoma sky before a storm then rushing home to draw what she had seen.
Technically self-taught, she thinks of nature as her real teacher. In 1994 she was awarded a grant from the Alaska State Council for the Arts to study with Oregon landscape painter Michael Gibbons. In the late 1990’s she studied with Michael Workman, a leading Landscape painter from Utah. She has taken their valuable lessons and strengthened her own individual style. Romona also admires the work of Russell Chatham, Emil Carlson...

"Nature's Solitude"
By Gary Ernest Smith
Located in Scottsdale, AZ
Lauded by critics and collectors alike, the art of Gary Ernest Smith resonates in the mind and memory of contemporary America. Over the past years the artist’s one-man shows have attracted the attention of collectors from coast to coast. His three year exhibit, “Journey I Search of Lost Images” hung in 22 museums and institutes across the United States. In an exhibit curated by the Brooklyn Museum of Art, his work toured the New Orleans Contemporary Art Center, San Jose Museum of Art, the Palm Springs Desert Museum and many more prestigious art institutions. Although he must strictly limit the number of commissions he accepts, his mural size paintings are highly prized by corporate collectors.
Gary Ernest Smith was born and raised in a relatively isolated farm community 25 miles northeast of Baker City, Oregon. His interests and intensity for painting began at an early age and progressed through college degrees, numerous commissions and awards to a full time pursuit of painting.
The commission work that dominated the early years eventually stifled his creativity. Dissatisfaction with this career direction forced him to reach inward and search beyond popular style and accepted artistic norms to a personal vision.
Following years of artistic training and experimentation, subject matter began to emerge based on the artist’s background of a rural life-style that celebrates the values of hard work and self-reliance. These aspects of Smith’s life came together and became the catalyst for his distinctive style. Living in the west, his work is primarily of that region, but it is not western in the traditional sense.
Although it defies precise classification, the artist considers his style “minimal” and seeks to express the essence and simplicity of each subject. Whatever the focus might be, his work expresses the artistic elements of bold form and color. These two components become the vehicle that melds the style and subject into a symbolic visual language, expanding the artistic appeal beyond the west...

Heathcote allows his paintings the chance to roam without borders, rules, and regulations. “Each painting travels on two journeys, the first when being created and the second when it’s complete as a scene” describes Heathcote, “I love film, my compositions are scenes in an open-ended narrative where the viewer’s imagination can take up the story.” Travel author Maria Ilaria Mura describes Heathcote’s latest work as, “travel that is represented as a blissful means of challenging our curiosity through new experiences, real or imaginary, to be lived alone or with our loved ones.” Bonner David...

"Sunlight"
By Gail Morris
Located in Scottsdale, AZ
Landscape painter, Gail Morris, has won many prestigious awards for her paintings and her work can be found in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, Japan, and Europe. Painting since 1999, her work as an artist has taken her on a number of extraordinary adventures around the globe, from the Navajo lands in New Mexico to the Dogon villages of West Africa.
Morris attended Washington University, where she studied art history and eventually graduated from Webster College. However, as an artist, she considers herself to be self-taught. With her artwork, she likes to experiment with deconstruction and making the layers of paint as thin as possible, often times rubbing 60% of the paint off the canvass, or using steel wool and razor blades to distress the paint.
She captures the soothing exuberance of the Western landscape by reducing each experience to its visual and emotional essence. Her serene paintings are influenced by the traditions of early California painting...
