Presenting a show by two uniquely New Mexican artists, Nolan Winkler and Raul Dorn. Winkler, whose studio is in the former mining town of Hillsboro, New Mexico, is a longtime regular artist at RioBravoFineArt. She has a distinctive style with an energetic use of color, graphic elements in abstract patterns, and, sometimes, a hint of a representational element. Dorn has a long and varied career in the Arts. His experiences in the art world include performance art, song writing, musical performance, media programming, and the visual arts, both teaching and creating. The pieces in this series are an intensely personal representation of the artist and his approach to his art.
