Light on the West:  Landscapes that Glow & Still Lifes that Speak– Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona shines a light on a group of landscape artists who capture the atmospheric conditions during sunrises, sunsets, and more serendipitous moments in the West.   The gallery is also proud to feature the genre of still life painting with works by the realist Sue Krzyston who leads the eye around the warmth and glow of Native American objects and treasures.  Also, presented are the soft, atmospheric still lifes of Washington artist Lori Twiggs whose garden delights bring a blanket of peaceful light to her florals.  And, the gallery is ready to party with the vibrant still life florals by artist and teacher Betty Carr who brings the drama of striking light across her composition that dances with luminous and juicy color.

MARCH 2025

Wonders of the West:  Grand Canyon & Beyond – Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona is delighted to present landscapes and moments of wonder from so many artists whose experiences bring a reason to celebrate life in the American West.  The exhibition is brimming with landscape paintings by artists who find this wondrous place an awe-inspiring reason to paint, and there is no hesitation to have extended stays at the Grand Canyon to bring centerpiece fine art to the attention of collectors and art enthusiasts.  More dynamic places throughout the West are also presented by the gallery’s artists.

APRIL 2025

Reception: April 4, 4-7pm

The Colorful New West:  Traditional and Contemporary - Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona is delighted to spotlight artists who see space, shape, and form in a variety of ways.  There are some who give space and planes of color a more dominant role while others give prominence to the nuance in each detail of form and that makes their aesthetic choices come alive.  And, there are artists who strike a balance as they move back and forth to bring harmony and unity to both styles of brushwork as well as sculpting techniques.  Bringing a focus to color is a prominent part of the story in many of the paintings and sculptures that celebrate both style and essence in the artwork from the colorful New West.

Horse Love, Ranch Life, and Farm Friends: Painting & Sculpture – Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona has been in love with horses and life on the ranch since its beginning more than 40 years ago.  Bringing together artists whose deep experience informs their painting and sculpture, the exhibition highlights not only the hard work necessary for ranching and farming, but it also brings a touch of humor as well as affection exhibited by its people and their critters.​

​

JUNE 2025

Reception: June 6, 4-7pm

Get Back on and Ride:  The Spirit of the Cowgirl – Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona is proud to represent a balance in their roster of artists as the gallery continues to showcase the highly spirited ones who draw collectors to this destination gallery located in the heart of the city.  The common theme expressed by all the women in speaking about their complex and often arduous journey to find their voice in art is, when they seemingly fail, fall or falter, to always “get back on and ride.”  The cowgirl spirit is exemplified in this exhibition of painting sculpture, and mixed media fine art.
