Summer Blessings

Every August Rainmaker Gallery shuts down for a few weeks whilst I go on my travels. In case any of you were wondering where I go and what I get up to here is a photo that encapsulates a typical moment of my summer trips. This shot, taken by Diné photographer Larry Price, captures one of the many art events that take place during the annual Santa Fe Indian Market. The backdrop is a painting by Tony Abeyta. That's me second from the left with actress Owee Rae and friends. Good times with good people - feeling blessed :)Along with all the fun and festivities I am in fact working hard everyday. The purpose of my trips is to meet with artists, plan future exhibitions and find treasures for the gallery. Since my return I have been busily photographing finds for the website. You can now view the first of the Zuni fetish carvings with more to follow soon. 

Billy Hensley at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts

Last chance to see!

Whilst in Santa Fe I met up with Chickasaw artist Billy Hensley at the opening of the Visual Voices exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts. His paintings are featured centre stage in the exhibition and on huge banners outside the museum. This week is the last opportunity to view our glorious summer exhibition of paintings by Billy Hensley here in Bristol. His solo show 'BRIGHT PATH' at Rainmaker Gallery ends this coming Saturday 28th September.  'Bright Path' is a visually rich exhibition that challenges us to look more deeply into the world that surrounds us in order to appreciate the lives and lifeforms that are too often obscured and overlooked. Don't miss it!

Drop by the gallery anytime between Tuesdays to Saturdays for your free guided tour of the exhibition and to view the new jewellery, carvings and blankets on display.

I look forward to your visit

Best wishes,
