    logo_rowegallerySedona AZ (march 10, 2014) – Joshua Tobey’s first self-portrait didn’t depict a college student on the cusp of following in his artistic father’s footsteps. Instead, he sculpted a bear with flat ears and a morose expression. He titled the sculpture Timid Bear, and it became the cornerstone of his entire career. Today, Joshua sculpts impressionistic wildlife pieces that convey human emotion using the expression and body language of animals including mountain lions, coyotes, buffalos, horses and deer. Come see this unique form of artwork at Rowe Fine Art Gallery during Joshua’s one-man show, Simply Extraordinary, on April 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. and April 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. The show is part of the Sedona Gallery Association’s 1st Friday Gallery Tour.

    20140310_Horizon_03Joshua, who was recently chosen to be one of two signature artists for the prestigious 2014 Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, will introduce new works including two pre-cast pieces. The first (currently untitled) sculpture features a bugling elk while the second, titled Rain Dance, captures a mule deer having some fun. “I live in Colorado, and all over the West, we suffer from a lack of rain,” says Joshua. “I watched these mule deer in my front yard in a rainstorm, and they were celebrating it the same way we do.”

    The show at Rowe Fine Art Gallery will be Joshua’s only Arizona appearance this year. He has been coming to Sedona every year for the past 12 years, and he’s garnered quite a following. “Rowe Gallery is such a personal space, and I’ll see collectors I’ve known for years as well as meet new ones,” Joshua says. “I learn about my artwork when I meet people and see how they react to the sculptures.”
    Joshua was born in Oregon but grew up in Santa Fe where he apprenticed with his father, renowned sculptor Gene Tobey. Joshua graduated from Western State Colorado University with a degree in three-dimensional art. His studio is in Loveland, Colo.

    Sedona chamber of Commerce
    Chamber Effort to Target
    Affluent Tourists Derailed

    By Tommy Acosta
    If you make less than $150,000 and thought of visiting Sedona you are not the target of a recently proposed marketing effort by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, focused on luring visitors that that are affluent. A request by the chamber for the city to release $225,000 from its marketing contingency plan to be used for destination marketing targeting people with money, was torpedoed at the Sedona City Council meeting of January 24. The chamber had hoped to use the contingency funds to bring tourists to Sedona that are well heeled and willing to spend scads of money rather than focusing marketing efforts on “day trippers” who come to the city to hike or spend little more than a day here exploring, off-roading, browsing the UpTown shops and spending little cash while clogging up the roads and making it difficult for locals to get around town.
