Have A Seat: Sunday ARTScrawl featuring Colleen Z Gregoire

Wild Hearts Gallery Collective member Colleen Z Gregoire will be demonstrating her oil painting techniques during the Sunday ARTScrawl from 10am to 2pm on Sunday, March 8.

Have a Seat invites you to explore the beauty of New Mexico, from national parks to lively main streets and quiet front porches. Take a seat, relax and enjoy the view through this series of oil paintings. Few things are as inviting as an Adirondack chair in a garden, a bench with a mountain view, or a porch swing that feels like home. Where we sit shapes how we connect with our surroundings.

Gregoire grew up in the Midwest where she studied drawing and painting privately before attaining her BFA and MFA in painting from the University of Kansas. Her work often focuses on architectural themes that reflect the intimacies of daily life. She and her husband relocated to Placitas in the fall of 2020, where she has discovered inspiration for her newest paintings.

“Outdoor seating creates a timeless bond between humans and nature–a setting to
coexist with the landscape and, just as importantly, with one another”, writes Gregoire.

The public is also invited to attend an artists’ reception with fellowship and refreshments on Saturday, March 14, 1-3 pm.
