Lisa Sanchez 

I am inspired by the diverse layers of the past hidden beneath layers of paint in our cities and the possibility of change and the vibrancy that change brings.

Please join me as I will be unveiling 10! all NEW never before seen iCandy Art pieces. What a great way to kick off the 4th of July weekend

Tony Ankele- This July I'd like to share a few paintings of musical artists that have influenced me in both the past and present. We have all been blessed with so many talented artists in every general. A song or artist can trigger the recall of many memories and events in our lives and can last a life time locked In our heads. This will be the start of a musical artist series I am painting. I hope you enjoy them as -Tony Ankele  

Michael Penny- Myths, symbols, and legends permeate all languages, cultures and lives. The influence mythology has in our most basic traditions can be observed in the language, customs, rituals, values and morals of every culture. One way of understanding a culture is to study the underlying mythological beliefs, the symbols used to represent myths, and understanding the legends of a culture. Such an exploration leads to a greater understanding of the essence of a culture.
 I try to express the myths, symbols, and legends of ancient cultures through my art.



 

Stevon Lucero  has reached the third and final stage of his life, painting his profound visions with power and beauty.  His prices for the large Metarealism has permanently gone up.  Smaller quick pieces are not only affordable, but priced to sell.  

 

Melisa Anne Silver, born and raised in Denver, Colorado.  I am Dine` or Navajo, both of my parents are from the Navajo reservation located in the four corners area. My photography centers on my love of the landscape around my grandparent’s home in Red Mesa, Arizona. The beauty of the area lends itself to contemplation and quiet exploration of this gorgeous land I am proud to call my roots. I also take photos in and around Denver as we can find beauty all around us when we are open to it. May we all Walk In Beauty, as the Navajo Blessings says. Thank you CHAC art gallery for this wonderful opportunity to showcase my work.  Blessings.

Joe N. Martinez -Doors and doorways have been symbolic across several cultures as long as history has been recorded. Doors represent several different things. They can be inviting and exciting.....not knowing what you might find on the other side. It can be an entrance or an exist. I prefer to associate this series of my photographs as and entrance.....to a new and exciting beginning to the New Year!  I am excited to see what unfolds and what is behind these beautiful doors.

Most of my photographs are taken in Colorado and New Mexico. I find photography to be a very spiritual experience
