The Spirit Art Gallery will be featuring plein air artist Susan Pitcairn, who works in variety of media, especially oil, acrylic, gouache and oil pastels. She has won many awards in national and local competitions, and many works of hers are in private collections, from New York to California. Susan recently moved back to Arizona, where she grew up. Since moving to Sedona in 2006, she has returned home to the rugged and vast beauty of the Arizona of her youth and to her love of painting nature. Susan has been drawing and painting since she was a child, and in all the facets of her artistic life, she has observed how the best art expresses the timeless principles behind life, including contrast, rhythm, theme, harmony and unity. Entertainment will be provided by Doug Downer, a musician who is well-known in the Verde Valley for his folksy blue grass stylings.
