Host Greg Smith talks with Karen Conley and Larry Felhauer, two local artists involved with the Artists of Picacho Hills and other efforts to promote the arts in the Mesilla Valley.
Chris Kemler does amazing things with wood. From award winning work that one can sit on to other works of art that can be coaxed out of wood, the conversation with host Greg Smith explored intersections between function and art, and where art can go on its own in wood.
Greg Smith is pleased to follow up his conversation with Sierra County sculptor Otto Rigan, with another artist of Sierra County, painter and Otto’s partner, Stacy Blum-Hay. Her routes to Truth or Consequences and to becoming an artist are very different from Otto’s and will make for another most engaging hour.
Greg Smith’s guest was Otto Rigan. Many in our community will recognize Genesis, the piece he created for the entrance to Spaceport America. They will be talking about this large work and others he has sculpted, along with what he has seen happening with the arts in our region
