We are sad to announce the passing of our friend #JayDusard (1937-2025). His 25,000 mi. odyssey across North America photographing cowboys/women is one of the great stories of the American West. He was the real deal and we will miss him dearly. #northamericancowboy #arizonaartist #bnwphotography

Join us @ Etherton Gallery for the opening reception of Jim Waid:Instars, Sept 27 @7-10pm Waid is widely regarded as one of AZ’s most significant painters. For over 5 decades, he has created abstract landscapes that translate the desert into densely layered, color-saturated compositions. #jimwaid
We shot this video announcement in Jim Waid's sunlit studio this morning. Isn't that landscape painting stunning?

Waid, Gipe, and Macias all have strong ties to UA's School of Art, reflecting its influence on the region’s contemporary art community.
