Dust and Destiny on the Great Plains

October 2nd - October 26th, 2024
Yuma, Colorado 2023 by Gary Anthes
For a thousand years the Plains Indians, the American buffalo, and the native prairie grasses co-existed. Then came the Homestead Act of 1862, thousands of pioneer families, and the plow. The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression did great harm in the 1930s, and then big agriculture and big technology killed the small farm and the small town. Now, heat and drought again threaten the region. The Great Plains today is a place of vast beauty and deep sadness, and it warns us about its future.

Green Waves by Lois Kampinsky
A recent visit to Sedona, AZ, with its almost comic-shaped mountains, reminded me that forms I love to draw really do exist in nature. Though I usually eschew landscapes, the sandstone projectiles and puddled concretions that surrounded me forced my hand. I had to render them in paint since they so clearly spoke my language.

Persephone’s Table

The Promise by Leslie Kiefer
Ensnared by the sudden blooming of a fragrant flower, Persephone was kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld, the Greek myth of the beginning of the cycle of life: death and rebirth.
In my own life, the near death of my beloved husband and his rebirth—transformed into a fresh and blossoming soul has embodied for me this cycle; loss, darkness, regret and then hope, joy and hard work harvesting the beauty of this new life.
My images reflect both the sadness of aging and death and rejoicing of beauty in the regeneration of life with ephemeral mixtures of memory.
