Csaba Martonyi’s photography expresses his fascination with texture and pattern. He has a skilled eye for finding and conveying the finest details in nature that are so often overlooked. He captures the ever-changing expressions of beauty in even the harshest environments and shares that with the viewer in a most intriguing way. Csaba is also an exquisite wood carver. His pieces are sublime and must be seen in order to understand the complexity of his carving.

Adryanna Ciera is one of Pop-UP’s recent artist acquisitions and brings a fresh view of sculpture to the gallery. Her work includes intricate bronze sculptures of horses, wildlife and people. Her love of nature is apparent in her art and exhibits her love of movement and grace.

Pop-UP is a community oriented, artist operated, art space; a portion of all sales help to support the Verde Valley Sanctuary or other local charities. For more information about Pop-UP Gallery, call (928) 282-8143 or visit the gallery online at http://www.pop-upsedonagallery.com.
