| | May 15: Guest Speaker John T Humphrey Wildlife & Outdoor Photographer We are excited to have JT show his work and speak during the show. Reservations required for speaking engagement. 'My passion has always been wildlife and the outdoors, from viewing, to conservation, but mostly photography. For the past forty years I have played with photography, shooting family, military air shows, wildlife, and events, but for the past eight years I have become very aware of the wildlife in Carson Valley. My main focus when shooting is safety and preservation of my subjects, including wild horses, bears, wildcats, and raptors. I will spend hours alone with my subjects to put them at ease and this allows me to capture their most intimate moments.' | | |
|
| | June 10: Boot Scootin' Watercolor Workshop Spend the morning with Dana Childs and the rest of your day will be bright!

Joe Milazzo Pen & Ink, Charcoal & Pastel ‘I am drawn to a fundamental medium, pen and ink. The boldness and range of depth when rendering in black and white is fascinating. I recently added charcoal and pastel to my drawing resume which allows me to create much larger scale drawings while keeping the same technique. It is a blessing and to be able to render images and give the glory to God.’ Collectors of Milazzo Artwork include President Reagan, Ronald Reagan Center in Santa Barbara, Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Nancy Reagan, George and Susan Hearst, Janeway Museum. | | |

|
| | Gail Rogers Semi Precious Gemstone Jewelry 'I love the beautiful gems and minerals I find in the Nevada terrain and the colors, shapes and crystals I find within. All my jewelry is made with natural stones and metals (copper, pewter and silver).' | | |
|
|
| | Robin Clark Clay Work 'Being retired I am finally able to pursue my love for the arts. I have spent the past couple of years refining a technique using clay. With many trials and errors, I created a form of art transforming clay into something that looks just like leather. I discovered that nobody else does this type of artwork.' | | |
|
| | Karen Kreyeski Oil & Mixed Media 'I am a painter of environmental connections in a magical realism style.' | | |
|
|
| | Joyce Pike Master Oil Painter Joyce Pike is listed in many major art publications and directories such as: "Who's Who in American Art", "World's Who's Who of Women," and, "The National Biographic Society." She is a master signature member of Oil Painters of America and emeritus member of 'Women Artist of the American West.' | | |
|
| | Lorelle "Zenko" Case-Chorkey Semi Precious Gemstone Mala 'I have had some challenges in life! Through these challenges I found the strength to recover and return to a peaceful life. I found healing through the beading process of designing and creating Mala beads made using various gemstones. Each gemstone has a different property, meaning, and energy. Some designers use pearls, along with semi-precious stones that empower the strand with specific emphasis. A person who wears the 108 Mala beads necklace, made of gemstones, makes the Mala what they want it to be. It is made possible by engaging the energy of the stones and the pearls with hopes, prayers, and dreams.' | | |
|
|
| | Anastassia Manoussova Oil, Actrylic, Watercolor & Leather Works Body Adornment 'A transplant from Russia, I am now an artist in residence in Carson City.

|
| | Kristy Kalt Dial Art Gallery@Prism Coordinator Master Gourd Artist 'I have been creating gourd art for the past 25 years and have attained the master gourd artist status, as well as a certified judge of gourd art. My gourds have been exhibited and collected throughout the Southwest and currently are in local galleries.' | | |
|
|
| | Heather Nicole Art Gallery@Prism Coordinator Photographer 'Through my photography, I hope to show people a different perspective on everyday scenes; and maybe even encourage them to slow down, just a little bit, to observe and appreciate the nature that surrounds us.' | | |
|
| | Jon Bunch Art Gallery@Prism Coordinator Acrylic, Watercolor & Woodworker 'Never willing to be restricted to a certain style or subject, every image has found its own unique solution. Every wooden frame you observe, on my artwork, is hand made by the same man who painted the image. I also create hand-hewn tables from local sourced wood' | | |
|
|
| | Coreen Hutchinson Pine Needle & Bead Basketry 'Through the years I have explored many different mediums of artistic expression. Though I continue to enjoy working with other mediums, it is in coiling pine needles that I find the most joy and freedom of expression.' | | |
|
| | Vivian Powers Nature Photographer 'I am a first-generation US citizen and my ancestors and relatives were born and raised in Germany. I could always appreciate the beautiful things in life and knew I had an eye for photography, so in 2012 I bought my first digital camera to capture my visions.' | | |
|
|
| | Maggie Stilwell Mixed Media 'I paint romantic narrative abstracts reflecting adventure, exploration, beauty, and connection. You will find my spirit within my artwork, communing hearts in partnership.' | | |
|
| | Mike Bond Oil & Acrylic 'The constantly changing light and shadows, the clarity of the air, the clouds with their many forms, and the textures and colors of the land itself, along with my love for the outdoors, are the inspiration and the focus of my work. Then into the landscape may come the people who once lived there and with them a story, a history, or a fantasy that the viewer can interpret or build upon. In the end, my work is a sort of realism, but an impressionistic realism - a sum of natural and beautiful locations, and the memories borne on the land.' | | |
|
|
| | Nancy Florence Nature Photography 'My goal as a nature photographer is to show you the beauty and magic of the natural world and what is waiting to be explored in our own backyards. My belief is we need not travel far, but instead slow down and be present where we are to see and experience the magic of our natural world. In viewing my photographs I hope you will be inspired to be present, explore and learn about the wild place around us and appreciate the beauty in which surrounds us in our everyday lives.' | | |
|
| | Rebecca Fox Vecchiarelli Mixed Media ‘My work is acrylic on canvas and is inspired by everyday objects and scenes.’ | | |
|
|
| | Tricia Poulos Leonard Author - Artist - Teacher Guest Speaker During the Hot Summer Nights Show July/Aug 'From my creativity coaching and teaching I have found that there are many creative people who are interested in becoming selling artists, but do not know how to proceed. Because of this, I wrote a book to guide them through the process of becoming professional and is now available in the Art Gallery@Prism.' | | |
|
| | Lee Moloff Landscape Photography 'It is the Sierra Nevada Mountain range, together with the diverse and stunning geography of the California coast and the southwest deserts of Utah and Arizona, which offer up the wondrous palette of natural beauty that inspired me to pursue my artistic passion.' | | |
|
|
| | Todd Paige Nature Photography 'The best of images seem to have the power to change the way we feel about places and ideas. A photograph may deepen our connection to a favorite location, or it may cause us to consider a brand-new idea. Through the practice of photography, I am striving to create those images.' | | |
|
| | Louise Noel Dyed Silk 'Working with silk and dyes has changed the way in which I view the world and has given me the perfect vehicle to illustrate how I do see it. The textures and colors of landscapes come to life on the smooth shiny silk, colors penetrate and move.' | | |

|
| | Debra DuHamel Outdoor Photography ‘I find inspiration in the poetry of wilderness writers such as Mary Oliver and John Muir. Their words guide me to the frontiers of what I photograph. I am drawn to the elusive in landscape, the subtle, hidden, and paradoxical. The Eastern Sierra, with its dramatic contrasts and mysterious intricacies, is the perfect match for my passion.’ | | |
|
|
| | Kim Hunter Steed - Art Gallery@Prism Coordinator Nature & Wildlife Photographer 'What draws me to my style of photography is the constant challenge and pursuit of capturing something I have never seen before or see it in a different light.' | | |
