Jerome AZ (March 25, 2014) – Sedona landscape artist Susan Pitcairn will headline Gallery 527’s First Saturday Art Walk reception April 5, 5-8 p.m with a presentation of recent pastels and acrylics from travels throughout Arizona and California. “Beauty of the West” expresses Susan’s uncanny ability to capture the peaceful beauty of the western landscape.Fresh from visits to the coastal California ranch of Santa Barbara painter Marcia Burtt and from an annual teaching expedition to Saguaro Lake Ranch near Phoenix, Susan will present a variety of new subjects and places as well as her more typical Sedona and Verde Valley subjects. At 6 p.m. she will read 3-4 recent poems inspired by these new works.
Known regionally for her painterly style and accompanying poetry, the artist has been featured in recent years at the Sedona Plein Air Festival and has published several books of paintings and poetry.Commenting on her recent work, she says, “It’s always a joy to return to Saguaro Lake Ranch, an oasis of beauty and hospitality. My favorite demo piece from this year’s pastel workshop was “Back at the Ranch,” capturing the essence of its charm and community.”
Pitcairn’s next workshop at this classic Western guest ranch will be March 20-21, 2015 with details at susanpitcairn.com
