New Mexico artists gallery, work by Leigh Oviatt

Through New Doors | R. Melinda Hoffman and Leigh Oviatt

On View January 25 - May 15 2025

Opening reception Sat. Jan.25th @6:00

Step into a world of contrasts and harmony in an evocative exhibition showcasing the works of two extraordinary New Mexico artists: R. Melinda Hoffman and Leigh Oviatt.

Hoffmans minimal yet deeply expressive figures capture a sense of casual elegance and subtle beauty. With each sparing line, she evokes the quiet power of the divine figure, inviting viewers to experience the profound in simplicity.

In striking contrast, Oviatts lush, organic weavings envelop the senses, offering a tactile journey through texture and color. These immersive creations beckon us to explore a world where the boundaries between touch, sight, and emotion dissolve into one seamless experience.

Together, Hoffman and Oviatt transport us beyond the everyday, opening a door to a fresh way of seeing, feeling, and being. This show invites you to pause, immerse, and discover the extraordinary through an unexpected combination.

The works of Nixon, Irving, and Raven reveal an evolving narrative in New Mexico arts that resonates with both local and broader audiences.  At this pivotal moment in New Mexico's artistic evolution, these painters stand at the forefront of a new wave of expression. As contemporary working female artists, Nixon, Irving, and Raven not only contribute to the dynamic landscape of New Mexican art but also ensure its continued relevance and vitality in today’s world.

Through these new pieces each artist presents an intimate reflection on the inner landscapes and histories that shape their experiences as creators.

We love local artists…

Our region is blessed with a great many talented artists, only a fraction of which are seen in the traditional gallery system due to the financial constraints of that business.

In an effort to connect burgeoning collectors with working artists and exhibit work we believe in we welcome submissions at info@musessantafe.com.
