Artist and colorist Lydia Gatzow has been featured in Prescott Woman Magazine in their current issue which highlights the 5th Annual Prescott Plein Air Festival taking place in outdoor settings throughout Yavapai County, including in their historic downtown, from October 9-13. Presented by Yavapai College Prescott Art Gallery and the Yavapai College Foundation, there are 19 mostly Arizona artists who have been juried into "Art in the Pines" and Mountain Trails Gallery is proud to represent both Lydia Gatzow and Betty Carr, both extraordinary award-winning plein air artists taking part in the celebration.
As stated in Prescott Woman Magazine, " “I love how educational the Prescott Plein Air event is, as it pertains to the history, process, and environment,” said Sedona-based artist Lydia Gatzow, returning to the festival this year after participating in 2023. “It brings you into the spirit of observation and appreciation.” Gatzow added that her favorite aspect of painting in the Prescott area is “how vast and diverse the landscape is.” “One can delight in an early morning vista, forest, or creek scene, and by sunset, you could be painting on the shore of Watson Lake, capturing the light on the granite dells or rendering the backlit meadows at the base of a granite mountain,” she said.
