    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (July 9, 2015) – The City of Sedona is proud to be featuring the colorful, textured art work created by painter Jan Sitts. Currently on display in the Council Chambers through October 1st, her large mixed media paintings have delighted art lovers and collectors for over thirty years. Jan is a layerist, as her pieces are layered, integrating paper, plaster, sand and other materials.

    Jan is an international artist and a national art instructor. Living in the high desert of Red Rock country has inspired her energetic and intuitive approach to art. As an art instructor, Jan shares the experimental techniques she has developed for achieving her color drenched tactile surfaces. She stated, “Many techniques, materials, approaches to composition and above all emotions, play off of each other when I am creating a piece. By combining aggressive textures, unusual media and various raw materials, I work toward an end result, which is the creative accomplishment of the painting. I am attracted to mixed media for its endless possibilities. The adventure lies in not knowing where you are going – until you get there!”

    The Bloody Machine
    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
