    logo_sedonagicleeSedona AZ (October 30, 2013) – Monika Hilleary began her career many years ago as a highly successful commercial photographer.  But as an artist, she has journeyed a great distance since that beginning, taking up painting and mixed media and incorporating unique blends of techniques and materials in her more recent and contemporary creations.

    During November, many of her latest works will be on exhibit at Sedona Giclée Gallery, located in west Sedona’s Harkins Theater Plaza.  An artist’s reception will be held in the gallery on Saturday, November 9, from 4 to 8PM, and the public is invited to stop in to meet the artist and view her offerings.

    Originally from Colorado, Hilleary’s artistic journey has taken her through some improbable places, such as New Zealand boat docks and Arizona junkyards.  She has now settled permanently in Sedona, and thus adds inspiration from our natural Southwestern landscapes and Native American history to her earlier influences.  The result is a common thread that resonates throughout her works, suggesting the presence of a timeless and universal spirit uniting ancient and modern cultures with the natural world.

    Milky Way over Citadel is an example of Hilleary’s large scale light painted photographs that will be on display at Sedona Giclée.  She recently captured this remarkable image at Wupatki National Monument by delicately skimming a portable light over an ancient dwelling during a time exposure, while our home galaxy blazed overhead in the night sky.

    And in a much different vein, Hilleary’s Ancient Whispers is a large, semi-abstract mixed media piece incorporating metallic elements and cultural symbols against a warm, glowing background suggesting a desert landscape.

    Other recent pieces, including Canyon Dreams, Kindred Spirits, Red Awakening, and Ancients, round out her current exhibit and affirm her enduring Southwestern connection.

    Sedona Giclée Gallery is located at 2055 W. State Route 89A, Suite B, near the Harkins Theaters, and is open Monday through Saturday from 11AM to 6PM.  For more information, contact Justin or Jodi Whittaker at 928-282-4708 or visit http://www.sedonagicleestudios.com .

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
