MetroABQ Art Revisited

Luckily, folks fill me in. A friend wrote that Tree of Life--the serene tile sculpture perfectly situated on the frenetic corner of 4th St & Montaño Blvd--was created by her excellent friend Beverley Magennis. Beverley has an amazing oeuvre; reading all about her, one piece that caught my eye (as a Realtor) is this fabulous MetroABQ Landmark, the Tiny Tile House.

I was glad Joan Weissman took the time to fill me in. Joan is a wonderfully prolific locally-based artist with a cool international resumé. The image above is called "Symphony" & lives in the Popejoy Hall Fine Arts Center at the University of New Mexico.

My friend Jean provided the name of the artist who created the quirky abstract sculpture in Quigley Park last issue. Her brother-in-law, Larry Bell, has a studio in Taos & his artwork is installed all over the place, including the ABQ Museum. His website is Larrybell.com, & is fun to get lost in for a spell.

Speaking of quirky: you're in the great Southwest, so you never know when you'll come across a quirky artist. Recent MetroABQ transplants & friends Kim & Mike pointed me to Kim Gulino's site, & honestly, I didn't want to look, but then couldn't look away. The image below is "Ukobach" & can be found on Kim's website. If you see them in the NW Heights, welcome them to their new Albuquerque home...
