In the Display Case… through March is the multimedia art of local artist Pi Luna. At first glance Luna’s art looks like a painting -- but come closer and you’ll see a multitude of shapes and textures. Luna cuts tiny pieces of paper out of recycled magazines and uses them to create art. This exhibit highlights her unique technique, transforming discarded magazines into stunning depictions of New Mexico's landscapes and wildlife.
Luna first developed her process when working on her MFA at Goddard College. Originally a realistic oil painter, she wanted to explore metaphor and storytelling in her artwork and began branching out to explore new media, working in acrylic and mixed media. Eventually, she discovered paper and fell in love. Discover more about Pi Luna's art at www.pilunaart.com
There will be an artist reception for Pi Luna on Feb. 28, 1-3 pm, in the library.

Clay Speaks of Home, the annual New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists members exhibition opens at the Santa Fe Community College Visual Arts Gallery on March 5 and runs through April 8. With over 60 woks on exhibit (entries are open until January 23), this promises to be one of the largest and best exhibitions yet from this exciting, state-wide, 50-year-old organization. From expressive sculpture and evocative abstract forms to beautifully glazed lidded jars and pitchers, this exhibition has something for everyone. There are mixed media objects, wall hangings, functional and decorative ware that express everything from profound harmony with our New Mexican landscape to serious concerns with world events. Join us at SFCC’s lovely campus for the opening on Thursday, March 5 from 4 to 6 pm to meet the artists, tour the gallery and hear who won the awards from the three jurors Serit deLopaz Kotowski (last year’s winner), Mary Sharp Davis (ceramicist extraordinaire) and Elizabeth Hunt (Head of Ceramics, SFCC). Maybe you will find that something special for your own collection. Then check out the exhibit at our website and cast your vote for the People’s Choice Award at www.nmpotters.org beginning March 5.
