• Michele Voigt is award winning, known for her electric images of the human experience. Driven by the human condition, she paints images of circumstance, choice, emotion and fate, combined with the energy and influence of the past, all conjoined as a prism to the future. The work is a complex language of layering multiple levels of imagery, forming each of her signature style statement pieces.

• Zammy Migdal is a sculptor who has developed his artistic creativity in self-standing sculptures and wall installations. His abstract art depicts images from his imagination as three-dimensional creations, bringing life and motion to new or recycled metal. Composition, equilibrium, and balance are the main qualities of his a, giving the viewer an experience the effects of color, form, and symbol.

• After 30 years designing men’s fashion, Andre Croteau has turned his seasoned instincts towards the fine arts. The study of “color and light” has long held a fascination. Light, and the way it interacts with colorful, abstract features is an integral part of every one of Croteau’s artistic dialogues. Recently, Croteau has turned his textile signature and his artistic attentions upon organic sculpture.  His first series, titled Banyan will be unveiled at Art Santa Fe 2022.

GALLERY EDEL (Osaka, Japan)

Gallery Edel has been showcasing Japanese contemporary art and international contemporary art in the United States for 20+ years.

Her showcased exhibition at Art Santa Fe will include oil on birch panels, in a series including a soft color palette. The large-scale pieces will be showcased in the exhibit.

• With an attention to detail and strong knowledge of color theory, Jesus Moreno produces works that echo the timeless beauty of the Masters while also creating contemporary work that collectors bond to in a deeply emotional way. Moreno’s work is traditional, abstract, and sometimes surreal. He uses a variety of mediums and is constantly exploring and experimenting with his work. 

• Inspired by apprenticing at a tailoring shop in his teen years, much of Hunter Connor’s paintings are inspired by clothing design. Working mainly with mixed media, imitating the textiles and cuts found in high end fashion, the strictness of the figures against an atmospheric background gives the viewer a focal point in the artwork they are viewing. Connor is creating a new series unveiling at Art Santa Fe, Murmurations, including images of wingspans of birds in flight.

• Art Gallery Pure will also showcase works by Christina Sodano, Daniela Pasqualini, Jill Maloufjulia Ross, Kelly Dillard, Kiki Zais, Kristi Zatyko, Larry Solomon, Melanie Berannan, Mike Elysass, and Rosemary Riddle Achelpohl. 

CHAD DALY ARTWORKS (Irvine, California) 

Chad Daly was spending money on materials to create his art, the realized he would rather take the material he was spending with and turn it into something more valuable by creating with it, displaying, and selling it. He decided to go all out on this idea by directly creating art with currency. Somewhere between sculpture and origami, his art features skulls, animals, geometrical shapes depending on the series and themes he chooses. Whether U.S. or international, his art is definitely worth it. 

NUU MUSE GALLERY BY CJ COWDEN (Dallas, Texas)

CJ Cowden is an intuitive fine artist who explores her inner self through the creative process. Cowden likes to say art found her, as a way to deal with a hard lesson in loneliness and despair. Her art is an essential part of sharing her message of peace, hope and joy with the world. She believes art can be a love language, and through her art, she would like to be part of spreading these fundamentals of life and raise awareness of the importance of enriching, healing, and bringing joy into people’s lives.  

HENRIE COLLECTION (Bountiful, Utah)

Experimental endeavors in abstract painting have shaped much of Cary Henrie’s portfolio, including highly textured landscape paintings that convey a sense of vast, peaceful stretches of land with suggestions of the way the mind works to perceive them. Aside from the western façade, Henrie draws inspiration from Italian frescos and his time spent in New York museums. Ever interested in creating new looks, Henrie’s most recent artistic experiments are reflected in his new Mirror Collection, which debuts at Art Santa Fe.

“We are so thrilled to be returning to Santa Fe and partnering with the city to be part of the Santa Fe Art Week celebration,” said Redwood’s President and CEO Eric Smith. “We believe it will be an extraordinary week of events that visitors and collectors will enjoy.
