“Venturi,” a digital installation/assemblage, will take center stage in the Tom Ogburn Contemporary Art Studio. This large work feeds off of the combined nature of digital creation as computer driven, and questions the nature of our alliance with the silicon grid.

Also to be featured are new designs from emerging jewelry artists Annamarie Sabo and Keith Lewis. All these artists handcraft timeless, classic pieces in precious metals, pearls, and semi-precious stones and are sure to be collector’s items.

Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery’s fea- tured artist for October 6-Nov 20 is Birgitta Lapides, well-known for her mixed media landscape and abstract work on paper and canvas, as well as her jewelry and knit- ted garments. “I love strong colors, simple forms, which I think adapt very well to the landscapes here in Arizona,” says Lapides.
“For me it’s the creation of a piece I get ab- sorbed in — that is the reward in itself!”
“Wandering the Wax Palette” opens at Gallery 527. Ardis Harsche unveils new work just completed in her charming Clark- dale studio. Known recently for her bold cave paintings and primal icons, this depar- ture into various styles explores subjects and techniques that inspire this talented artist. Drawing from impressionists like Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet and Paul Gauguin, Ardis uses color and light in a masterful impressionistic style and at times moves toward the abstract. The disconnected strokes, colored shadows and play of light of this new work are a fascinating departure for the artist. When asked how she selects the subject for her painting, Ardis explains that there is a flow in the process of using wax and the material will inspire her composition as the painting evolves.
