Donna Caulton's paintings on exhibit at Zuly's Cafe in Dixon NM

Alice's Circle of Enchantment

Beginning March 8, 2015, a select grouping of my more recent acrylic paintings will be on display at Zuly's Cafe in Dixon. The exhibit is presently scheduled through April 8, but a month's extension is likely. Those of you who have followed my work are aware of the strong affinity I have for describing relationships in the natural world. This present grouping looks at earth, sky, plant and animal associations that are unavoidably those evident in northern New Mexico's magical mountain ranges. Please come see the exhibit and let me know how you liked it.

My Bio

Unlike many artists I didn't begin consistently making images until my mid 30's. The two dimensional surface fascinated me. I started with water colors, a natural choice of medium in the watery Pacific Northwest. While living in Seattle I developed a language of image-making that has stayed with me since.

When I moved to the mountains of northern New Mexico in 2007, my world and my artwork opened up in ways I never imagined. Here is a land of high mountain air, abundant sun, striking visual landscape and strong cultural influences. Immediately my colors became bold. My surrounding environment, under a brilliant sky, surrounded by untold natural beauty, sustains plants and animals and the dance of their inter-relationships that inform the works that I now create.
