Depicting wildlife and wilderness of the high desert of New Mexico, Kat Kinnick works to create a culture of fondness & connectedness to our natural world.

Exhibit/208
Lucy Maki: Pointless Pleasure @ EXHIBIT/208, 208 Broadway SE, Abq. NM Maki's art ranges in scale from large shaped paintings to miniature constructions/wall sculpture and encompasses a wide variety of processes, including poured paint, sculpted metal, and wood, mixed media assemblage and collage. The concern is to treat painting as an image/object, bridging oppositions of concrete/illusory, flat/dimensional, deliberate/accidental, geometric/organic, and or, figurative/abstract to create unexpected contrasting effects and complex imaginative states of being. For her upcoming show, Pointless Pleasure, at…
