First Friday Artscrawl Reception: March 7, 5 – 8:00 pm. Gallery Talk
by Archer Daugherty: Saturday, March 15, 1 – 2 pm.
Zaremba uses flowers and organic materials as metaphors related to the
themes of growth, change and aging. Flowers or botanicals are her primary
subjects. Her photographs capture their vulnerability and transient beauty
as they appear in varying states of life and decay.
Dougherty creates ambitious sculpture and constructions combining drawn
Van Dyke prints on ceramic with glass and wood. Her work investigates the
relationship of nature and architecture while juxtaposing the translucency of
glass and opacity of clay.

Land and Sea: Monotypes by
Jacqui Lewnes. April 4 - 26. (Early
Bird Preview: April 1 - April 4), 2008.
Lewnes’ colorful, almost abstract monotypes
capture animals both wild and domesticated.
She uses bold, gestural strokes and flat layers
of color to create the essence and personality
of her subjects.
"In my images, I pay particular attention to
gesture and composition. My goal is to keep
the composition lively and spirited. However, it
takes many rough drafts as well as anatomical
knowledge to maintain cats looking like cats
and dogs looking like dogs while keeping their
images spontaneous and playful." - Jacqui

Defining the West: Two Hundred Years of American Imagery
In 1998 the Gerald Peters Gallery opened the doors of its new building - a state of
the art facility with traditional, Spanish Pueblo-style adobe architecture - in Santa
Fe’s historic district. In celebration of the building’s 10 year anniversary and in
honor of the Santa Fe gallery’s traditional focus and esteemed position in the field
of Western art for over 35 years, all three of the Gerald Peters Galleries (New
York, Dallas as well as Santa Fe) are presenting an exhibition that highlights
American artists’ interpretations of the West.
Beginning with the early 19th century and continuing into the present day, the
exhibition highlights work in a variety of media whose subject matter is as varied
as the West itself.

This is an exhibition of photographs from the sets of classic films from the 20th Century. On the set of every
movie is a still photographer, documenting the movie's action (often alongside the camera) to be used in
publicizing it. They provide the images for posters, photographs in newspapers and magazines, and other
media. Over time, photographs from classic movies have developed historical and cultural importance.
Making Movies will continue now through April 20.
From April 25 to June 29, 2008 the exhibition of 60 photographs by Eddie Adams spans the entire range of
Adams’ legendary career, and will coincide with the 40th anniversary of his iconic "Street Execution of a Viet
Cong prisoner". Included are rare vintage work prints from the personal collection of Eddie Adams. A special
screening of the documentary film “An Unlikely Weapon” produced and directed by is Susan Cooper will be
shown during the exhibition. The film covers the life and career of Eddie Adams and was submitted to various
film festivals including the Sundance Film Festival.

Odyssey: Etchings by Ray Maseman. March 7 – 29, 2008.
Maseman’s whimsical etchings are best described as children’s stories for
adults. In his work metaphorical and playful exteriors are inhabited with
trees, swings, balloons, ladders and various other objects.
Creaturely protagonists travel through these worlds, perhaps looking or
searching for something. They don’t know where or when they will find it, or
even what “it” is, but they have an abiding faith that they will reach their
destination.

L'Deane Trueblood has an extended family whose members reach far beyond what
most of us can imagine. In addition to being the mother of three and the
grandmother of seven, this accomplished artist has sculpted and painted a veritable
tribe of youngsters whose personalities and attitudes embody childhood.
Robert Daughters was raised in St. Joseph, Missouri. After graduation from high
school and three years in the military, he worked as a Curator of Display at the St.
Joseph Museum of Natural History while attending the Kansas City Art Institute and
School of Design. During a 1953 visit to Taos, he discovered the beauty and light of
the area. He and his family finally made their move to Santa Fe in 1970, then to

“birthed on the earth” (completed on location). This
is an especially daunting feat given that some of his
paintings are as large as 40” x 60”. His ability to
capture the special light of the Taos area in these
plein air pieces sets his work apart, affording the
viewer a sense of time and place. Focused,
passionate, prolific and determined - words that
convey the spirit of Ken's life as an artist. After
years of embellishing architectural renderings that
limited his artistic ability, he is now free to paint
without bounds and that he does.

Barbara Lee Smith: Walking into Weather
The new work of Barbara Lee Smith seems more like paintings than fiber constructions. The work is both
abstract and representational, referring to landscape, atmosphere or weather--and time. Light and color form
a color field that envelopes her viewers, reminding us of some place, some moment, that we hold in our
memories but can’t quite recall.
Tim Tate:
Tim Tate is a Washington, DC native, and has been working with glass as a sculptural medium for the past 25
years. Tate marries his artwork with intelligent ideas and conceptual dialogues that bring forth reactions,
opinions and set forward a whole new conversation and path for the genre of fine art glass.

A solo exhibition of Nic Nicosia's new work. March 21 - May 3, 2008.
James Kelly Contemporary, 1601 Paseo De Peralta, Santa Fe, NM 87501
Nic Nicosia has primarily been associated with staged photographs of domestic scenes from suburban
middle America. However, with his new series of work Nicosia has combined the practices of drawing and
photography. Nicosia moved to Santa Fe nearly four years ago and with that move came a transitional period
within his work. With this series, Drawing, we see the act of "making a picture" realized with drawing
materials, minimal sets and visual information, yet the theatricality of Nicosia's earlier work continues to be
evident. The content throughout the Drawing series offers the viewer an opportunity to discern the artist's
varied motives, actions and psychological dispositions.
The nine new photographic constructions in this exhibition are of scenes in which the artist is experimenting in
his studio with the most basic action of making his mark within a confined space, and does so by swinging a
piece of graphite on the end of a string, throwing paint soaked balls against a wall creating a 'self portrait', or
tracing the contour of the set with graphite on the end of a long pole. His installation in the gallery will also
consist of a large-scale unique wall drawing stemming from the series of photographs in the show. This is only
the second time that he has created an image at such a scale; the first was during his recent residency at the
Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska. Nicosia's work has been exhibited throughout the
world.

middle America. However, with his new series of work Nicosia has combined the practices of drawing and
photography. Nicosia moved to Santa Fe nearly four years ago and with that move came a transitional period
within his work. With this series, Drawing, we see the act of "making a picture" realized with drawing
materials, minimal sets and visual information, yet the theatricality of Nicosia's earlier work continues to be
evident. The content throughout the Drawing series offers the viewer an opportunity to discern the artist's
varied motives, actions and psychological dispositions.
The nine new photographic constructions in this exhibition are of scenes in which the artist is experimenting in
his studio with the most basic action of making his mark within a confined space, and does so by swinging a
piece of graphite on the end of a string, throwing paint soaked balls against a wall creating a 'self portrait', or
tracing the contour of the set with graphite on the end of a long pole. His installation in the gallery will also
consist of a large-scale unique wall drawing stemming from the series of photographs in the show. This is only
the second time that he has created an image at such a scale; the first was during his recent residency at the
Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska. Nicosia's work has been exhibited throughout the
world.
