2024 Evelyne Boren "La Cieneguilla Morada in the Fall"
2024 Evelyne Boren - size 30"x 34"
Evelyne Boren (a native of Munich, Germany) enjoys worldwide recognition for her impressionistic art interpretations of life, people and scenes of the Southwest, Mexico and Europe in watercolor and oil paintings. Evelyne’s life reads like an adventure story—from the time she attended school in Switzerland and England, to her move to the United States in 1958 and her stunt work in movies.
Before beginning her full-time professional career as an artist, Evelyne had an aquatic career that included underwater stunt doubling in the James Bond films “Thunderball” and “You Only Live Twice”.
She was the first woman in the world to swim with a killer whale in the movie “Namu the Killer Whale”. She appeared on the television programs “What’s My Line” and “To Tell The Truth”, where no one guessed her profession. She also appeared frequently in the television series “Sea Hunt”, “Aquanauts” and “Flipper” where she helped train the star dolphin.
From these adventures she turned to painting in 1962, while on location filming in the Bahamas. The breathtaking color and beauty of the islands stirred a deep desire within Evelyne to express her feelings on canvas, so she began to paint. Her enthu-siasm, drive and discipline have resulted in a very successful art career. Evelyne has studied with several important artists, but has developed a style that is strictly her own.
In 1990, in Roussillon, France she entered a competition for paintings that used only burnt sienna, raw sienna and yellow ochre pigments that are mined locally. The only foreigner, she won first prize over forty other French artists. In 1997, Evelyne had the honor of having one of her paintings selected for the official Santa Fe Opera Poster. She has more then 4,000 original paintings in private and corporate collections around the world.
Evelyne maintains a permanent studio in Santa Fe, New México and in San Pancho, México.
2023 Robert Striffolino “RIPPLE PLAY"
2023 Robert Striffolino Poster - size 40"x 40"
Robert Striffolino was born in New York in 1950 and was raised on Long Island. Although from his childhood he could draw spontaneously with extraordinary skill, he never took a formal art class, feeling that his drawings were so personal he could allow no one—not even teachers—to interfere with his art.
“The affinity I have always felt toward Nature continues to fuel my creative drive. Painting continues to intrigue and impassion me providing new ways to stretch and grow. For this I am grateful. It has been a constant companion and certainly my major mode of expression throughout the years.” Robert S.
2022 Kevin Red Star "Wine, Chili & Grapes"
2022 Kevin Red Star Poster
"Indian culture has in the past been ignored to a great extent. It is for me . . . a rich source of creative expression. An intertwining of my Indian culture with contemporary art expression has given me a greater insight concerning my art." - Kevin Red Star
Kevin Red Star s art is honored throughout Native America for its authenticity. It presents a shining vision of centuries-old Crow (Absaroke) culture through the eyes of a thoroughly contemporary consciousness. Red Star grew up on the Crow reservation in southern Montana, a member of a highly creative family. Chosen to be in the first group of students at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe in the late sixties, the school provided him with a learning environment of tribal traditions, world art history, and current trends. Red Star and his fellow students mined their ancient customs for content and then created exciting new forms to provide current relevance. Along with other members of his graduating class, Red Star continued his studies at the San Francisco Art Institute.
