Sadly, Diane O’Leary, has died 10 Feb 2013
Thursday, February 21st, 2013 | Collector Savvy tips, General | No Comments
A political activist, a woman committed to higher education, a painter, a quilter and nobody’s pushover, Diane O’Leary made her mark in the art world and beyond.
Born in 1935, Diane faced challenges of every sort, including health challenges causing her to switch from painting to quilt making. Sheer determination drove her to switch her art-making medium, only until a medication was developed to steady her hands so she could return to painting. Diane’s subtle gradations in color shifts in her paintings were as unique as her both elegant and satirical compositions. The emotive content of her work was entirely transparent. Her personal experiences often were reflected in subject matter found in these expressions.
Examples of Diane’s work will be added to the website in the months ahead, as Mr. Albion Fenderson was one of Diane’s most long standing supporters.

America Meredith births “a new magazine dedicated solely to the arts of indigenous peoples of the Americas (both North and South America)–available in both print and digital versions !”
This vehicle for both established and emerging Native artists is Meredith’s answer to Art Forum magazine for First Americans (American Indian artists).

“First American Art leads the dialogue in the Native art world. We are a profitable educational tool with integrity as a guide.”
Way to go America! She has not shied away from the challenge of a new publication launched when the economy is just beginning to right itself. Who doesn’t love a challenge ???

Arizona’s Pioneering Women Artists exhibited through May 12, 2013
Saturday, December 29th, 2012 | Exhibition news, General | No Comments
Museum of Northern Arizona
(3 miles north of historic downtown Flagstaff on Highway 180)
Curious about the women who painted here in Arizona BEFORE art supply stores were available?
Curious about Kate Cory’s paintings when she came to Arizona in 1905?
Fran and Ed Elliott settled in Sedona in 1988, pouncing on the long-overlooked niche of Arizona women artists. No one else cared to assemble a collection focused on Arizona women artists. Many of these artists had admirable formal training in prestigious art schools, some did not. Still they persevered in this arid environment, choosing to depict its native inhabitants as well as its varied landscapes.
Should you purchase the accompanying catalogue, you will be rewarded with a brilliant essay by Arizona’s thoroughly charming, Betsy Fahlman. Another bright spot is reflected in Lonnie Dunbier‘s contribution, a detailed directory of woman artists active in Arizona before 1945 ( a tribute to 450 women working copiously listed in alphabetical order). American Indian women artists from this time period are naturally included in Dunbier’s directory as well.
Pick up a copy at the Museum of Northern Arizona’s book store or through SavvyCollector.com for roughly $40.
This exhibition certainly does the Grand Canyon State proud. We certainly don’t want to overlook the contribution of women artists any longer !
