Patricia Amlin, whose work is included in most major institutions in the United States, including the Smithsonian, will exhibit a series of avian wildlife paintings during July 2007 at the Randall Davey Audubon Center Conference Room located at the end of Upper Canyon Road. The show opens July 6 and continues through August 11. The reception for the artist will be Friday July 6 from 4pm to 6pm.
"Flyway": An Aerial view of the amazing migration of Sandhill Cranes from the Bosque Del Apache in New Mexico to the Alaskan Tundra" is inspired by the heroic feats of these many million year old cranes who once flew over the wooly mamouths and watched the birth of the Rockey Mountains. The excitement of attending the dawn flyout of the thousands of warbling birds is one of the most profound spiritual moments to be found today.
Amlin's interest in the subject began with a dream while she was teaching Film Making and Drawing at San Francisco State University.
Patricia retired from teaching and moved to Gunnison, Colorado, across from "Neversink" , a resting place on the Great North American Crane Flyway and began painting. She drew upon her early training at the Art Institute of Chicago and Skowhegan School of Painting where she worked with Oscar Kokoschka, Max Weber, George Grosz and Isabel Bishop.
Patricia's delight is in co-creating a single moment in a cycle when all energy is in motion. Her paintings are full of light, intricate brushwork and love of the creation. This new series spans the crane migration over the red rocks of the desert to the cold purity of the nesting grounds of the north and the birth of a new generation of these fast disappearing remarkable birds. Please join us at the Audubon Center this summer.
Amlin will also maintain an open studio at 1270 Upper Canyon Road , 11am-3pm, from July 8 to August 10 for those of you who would like to see more paintings, experience a Santa Fe working studio or just talk about painting. She will also have a solo show of new work at the InArt Santa Fe Gallery on Delgado Street off Canyon Road opening August 3rd 2007.
