Opening Reception and Demo: Jeremy Salazer

Native American artist Jeremy Salazar weaves vibrant narratives through his unique blend of abstract and realism, capturing the culture and generational stories of his people. He will share his painting technique and visit with collectors during this first Friday event. Born and raised on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico, Jeremy’s artistic journey is intertwined with his humble upbringing, where he found inspiration amid the simplicity of life. A self-taught artist, the authenticity of Jeremy’s work is a testament to the strength of his roots and a tribute to the shared history that connects Native tribes across the country.

Drawing from his indigenous heritage, Jeremy’s work gives voice to the storytellers and those who came before. Collaborating with various tribes, Jeremy gathers stories and preserves them through his art, encapsulating the wisdom and resilience of Native cultures. His bold use of color, honed over six years of experimentation, captures the essence of his subjects, while meticulously detailed facial expressions breathe life into his subject.

Jeremy’s art extends beyond the canvas, as he works tirelessly for the benefit of his community, a testament to the power of art to forge connections, inspire change, and embody the authentic spirit of a people who have lived their stories. “I see my work as an ongoing blessing, connecting me and my art with the gallery, with collectors, and with my community.”
