Roger Young started taking pictures in Valentine, Nebraska where he rodeoed and worked on his family’s ranch. Subjects dear to his heart included wildlife and flowers. “My mother had a garden. She really loved flowers and I loved to photograph them. My father, brother, and our friends all liked to hunt, and often I hunted with them, ‘shooting’ film rather as well as bullets.”
Next stop was Arizona, where he studied Agricultural Management and learned locksmithing. He wound up working for the university as a locksmith and carrying a camera along with his lock picks and shooting saguaro and spectacular sunsets. Roger spent some time as a “Hired Gun” working with a Gun fighting group putting on shows for tourists. And taking pictures, of course, this time, “old timey photos’ in costume, a practice he continued in Colorado, where he began exploring and photographing the San Juans and surrounding mountains. Roger alternated photography with various ‘day jobs,’ wrangling, bartending, and driving heavy equipment, most recently for oil and gas drilling activities that take him into Wyoming, Utah, and Nebraska. But it's the camera that calls, and wherever he goes, his camera and photography gear go too.

"Abstract representational equjine art emotionally connected to the subject," that's what Alice creates. When this woman paints a horse, it’s not just a presentation of paint on canvas. What appears is a window to the animals personality and emotions. And to how Alice relates to it. That relationship is absolutely present in the colors she chooses and uses. You look at that horse’s face and you know what it is feeling. You are right there, communing with it, not just looking at a static picture. One horse might be sad and blue, another happy as springtime and just as brightly colored. Another, wearing "red hoses" literally dances across the canvas. Asked where she will go with her art next, Alice states: “The horses will tell me.” It will be interesting to watch her journey, see where her beloved horses lead her."

 Mark Mace,
Kinetic Expressionist
Mark's paintings are a dance of life across the canfast...from inside out as well as ousdie in. His energy and humor are apparent in any form: portrait, landscape, still life, or abstract. As a practitioner of yoga, Mark came to appreciate that doing art is an activity, a mind/body expression that makes the concept of 'skill' much deeper and broader in meaning. the product of which is an artifact. Art is, thus, not in the eye of the beholder, or in the eye of the artist. Its in the behavior of the art-ist by definition.
Mark paints and shows at his summer gallery in Ouray Colorado - san Juan Art Galleries, 725-Main Street.
