“Celebrate
2019 at the Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery!”
New Work by
members is the featured show in celebration of the New Year on Saturday,
January 5 from 5-8pm at the Jerome Artists’ Cooperative Gallery during Jerome’s
First Saturday art walk. Local member-artists bring a variety of talent to the
show. With 35 members, the various mediums include: drawing, painting,
printmaking, photography, jewelry, glass, fiber, mixed media, mosaic, stained
glass, sculpture, wood, clay, and concrete to name a few. This diversity is
what makes a visit to the Jerome Co-op so unique.
Jewelry by Sarah
Foster reflects her childhood days growing up in Sedona and her visits to the
Navajo and Hopi reservations nearby. Her jewelry, eclectic and original in
style, draws from these early influences of mixed cultures.
In her mixed
media sewing art, Joy Herhold creates a whimsical piece using hand-made paper,
printmaking techniques and satin stitches using her sewing machine. “I see the patterns
of the threads expressing themselves and offering to read like the tempo of
brushstrokes dancing across the surface of my images,” Herhold shares. “Coming
from a background in weaving, I understand the energy of compressed threads in
a woven piece, and in my work, I see their colorful designs and patterns taking
on a life of their own!”
Flo Flynn
was inspired by vivid childhood memories of playing in the shelter belts which
are several rows of cedar and cottonwood trees planted together to block the
wind. Flynn recall, “The trees seemed to become wonderful spirits that I shared
time with. I enjoyed laying on fallen trunks in the winter sun observing the
different layers of age among the fallen bark of the trees. It was my own world
of peace and resurge of energies.”
A new
calligraphy watercolor painting by Sid Freeman is all about music. The painting
celebrates the seven elements of music: harmony, melody, form, texture, timbre,
rhythm, and dynamics, while being described by the elements of art: line, shape,
color, texture, form, harmony, and balance. It’s a complex interplay of
language, harmony, beauty and design that Freeman creates in her art.
Jim Todd, a
Co-op member oil painter, refers to his interest in wood working as a hobby.
Todd builds cabinets, frames, and boxes from local hardwoods.
Mark Foltz,
an “out of the box” photographer, shows off another side of his talent with a creative
abstracted view of Jerome.
An artists’
reception will take place on January 5th, Jerome’s First Saturday
art walk, from 5-8 pm. Refreshments will be served. The show runs thru January
30, 2019. OPEN DAILY 10AM – 6PM. 928-639-4276 info@jeromecoop.com
