Sally Stevens: June 2021 Artist of the Month

Sally Stevens is a landscape painter residing in Boise, Idaho. She loves the beautiful state she lives in, and its surrounding nature inspires and feeds her art.

Sally paints in the impressionistic style, using light and shadow to capture the depth and beauty she sees in the natural world. Her paintings are an interpretation of her perspective: “ I enjoy drawing the viewer into a scene as if they were walking into the work.”

Sally is represented by Hat Ranch Gallery in Santa Fe. Follow her on Instagram @sally_stevens.

Becka Watkins: April 2021 Artist of the Month

Becka’s work explores the relationship between letting go and the need for control. She first grants herself permission to play with materials without being attached to the outcome. Shapes and textures form, and images are revealed to her.

With each piece of work she sees the struggle of the human spirit — to let go, be free, to play without boundaries versus the constraints of needing to control the details of life, interactions, and the manners in which we accomplish things.

Follow Becka on her website, on Facebook, and on Instagram @beckawatkinsart.

Sally Stevens: November 2020 Artist of the Month

Sally Stevens graduated with a fine arts degree, but side-stepped painting for a number of years to jump into the world of graphic design.

She mostly paints landscapes, working with water-mixable oil paints (much like traditional oil paint minus the turpentine, with the added benefit of soap and water cleanup).

Each day she completes a 6×6” painting on Masonite, which has a smoother quality than painting on canvas. Follow Sally on Instagram @Sally_Stevens, on her Facebook page, Sally Stevens, and on her website.
