Fall is officially in the air, and folks are out strolling around Sedona. The leaves are changing and the breeze has that nice Fall crispness. If you are being inspired by the weather and feeling like it’s time to add a little character to your home or office, it’s time to visit these two Sedona art galleries: First, gather at The Object of Desire Gallery at A Spa For You. This wonderful spa has a pop-up art exhibition every first Friday of the month, from 5 to 8 p.m. and/or by appointment. The Object of Desire Gallery at A Spa For You represents a number of artists, although, the bronze Arabian horse sculptures of Adryanna B. Ciera, are a must see. Adryanna has spent 25 years raising, training, and caring for Arabian horses - so it is no wonder that she has the ability to craft such detailed impressions of these majestic animals, in bronze. With her own hands-on healing and nurturing relationship with horses, Adryanna also offers therapeutic body work to these gorgeous animals. Just as she uses her hands to heal these horses, she has used her intuitive movements to create her art. The Object of Desire Gallery at A Spa For You is located at 30 Kayenta Court, Sedona, Arizona. Within Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village in Sedona, Arizona, Rowe Fine Art Gallery is well known for their bronze sculptures as well. On the first Friday of the Month, the theme of their receiption will be ‘A Festival Of Colors’. Kim Kori’s whimsical work will be featured at this event. Frogs and mice are colorfully dressed as they play on logs, chili peppers or mushrooms. The inspiration behind Kim Kori’s work is her childhood experience with the lush farming areas of Pennsylvania. With farmland as the backdrop of many experiences, it is no wonder that each of these endearing creatures captures the heart of the viewer. Kim states that exploring in the fields and pastures was a frequent pastime. She would then use the inspiration she found to create and illustrate stories. A fond memory is sitting with her grandfather as he admired her drawings and told her that she had a good imagination. Visit both or either of these Sedona art galleries and find that perfect gift for yourself or a loved one. Or, choose an artful work for yourself, to take home and remember time within the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona.

Birds have always had a unique meaning throughout time. Birds have symbolized: higher knowledge, freedom, strength as well as harmony with fellow creatures. There is something about the bird that attracts our mind and soul, whether that bird is the popular raven, the crane or the owl and hummingbird. There are also birds that we don’t quite associate with the bird family upon first thought, such as the penguin or peacock. These unique birds are celebrated via sculpture at Vue Gallery: A Renee Taylor Gallery, located in Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village of Sedona. Artist Loet Vanderveen has a series of sculptures that include both the peacock and the penguin. When in the gallery ask to see the following works if birds appeal to your visual art sense: King Penguin and Baby Peacock #1 and Peacock #2 Penguin Group x 20 Penguin Pair Penguin Small Group Penguin Trio To view birds within jewelry, walk over to Renee Taylor Gallery also in Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, and ask to see the jewelry series by Evocateur. Pieces such as A Perch of Birds Cuff, Birds of a Feather Bangle, Birds of a Feather Gold Teardrop Earrings and Japanese Bird Cuff are sure to appeal to any bird-loving set of eyes. Designer, Belle Etoile, is known for including Flamingos within their jewelry designs. Ask to see Flamingo Black, Migration Blue & Grey Bangle and Flamingo Black and Multi Pendant. Also while in Tlaquepaque, make your way upstairs to The Ascending Spirit Gallery: A Honshin Fine Gallery. Artist Nicolas Kirsten-Honshin integrates the crane and raven into many of his paintings. Honshin, an artist who has studied ancient Eastern spiritual practices and Tibetan Buddhism, reflects his practices within his works. Most paintings are reflective of: mythic amalgamation of ancient healing practices and the present trends in spirituality, science, and nature, resulting in a true fusion of East and West. The Zen-like feel of Honshin’s work can be felt upon first glance. When in this gallery ask to see Cranes – Mystic Moon Flight, Harbingers of Dawn and Zen Cat Meditating on the Wings of Enlightenment. There is also a Raven Series that is not to be missed within this art gallery, including: Brother Raven Journeys Into the Golden Dawn Brother Raven Sings Song to the Clear Light Brother Raven at the Shrine of the Rainmaker Serpent According to spiritualists, the meaning of a bird can apply to different areas of one’s life. Most of the time, the meaning of the bird signifies one’s ability to remain in control of emotions, and the ability to bear hardships as time goes by. One would call on their Bird Spirit Animal when they need a fresh perspective. |
