Strata Gallery presents an established artist solo exhibition, Light and Motion by New Mexico based artist Elaine Duncan. The exhibition is on view December 2nd through December 19th with a special reception on December 5th from 5-7pm.
Elaine Duncan approaches her abstract painting as a form of movement and rhythm, often incorporating sand for added texture and play. Lately she has been experimenting with solar printing directly on the canvas as well. Elaine Duncan stated, “I find painting to be a dynamic, almost choreographic experience. It is a partnership between myself, the paint and the canvas - where rhythm, texture, and movement intertwine. Inspired by dance and bodily movement through space, I allow the medium to guide the creation process, minimizing conscious interference. This surrender to the moment is deeply gratifying”. Elaine Duncan received her BFA in from New York University. Her work has been exhibited in Colorado, New Mexico and in various publications including Vogue Magazine, Aesthetica Magazine, Art Business News and Monochromica Magazine. This is her first solo show at Strata Gallery. Elaine Duncan received her BFA in from New York University.

This exhibition offers a powerful look back at work of a designer whose sense of form was inseparable from her deep respect for light.
Claire Kahn’s life and work were rooted in a deep understanding of how parts become whole. She was a meticulous maker, of spaces, of patterns, and of meaning. She found poetry in structure and beauty in transition. Her art, whether in two dimensions or woven in three, is not static. It shimmers, shifts, and breaths. This retrospective, Form and Light, brings together a wide range of her creative depth: drawings, mosaics, layered papercuts, and her intricate beaded crochet jewelry. Together, they offer a portrait of an artist whose primary material, beyond ink, beads, or paper, is light. The Opening Reception will take place on Friday, December 5. Light refreshments will be served. |

Help Support Rancho Viejo Solar!
AES’ Rancho Viejo Solar project is expected to go before the Santa Fe County Board of County Commissioners in the next several weeks. It was approved by the Santa Fe County Planning Commission with an overwhelming 6-1 vote! The state-of-the-art, 96 megawatt (MW) solar and 48 MW battery energy storage project, will feature the most advanced safety technology available and will produce enough energy to power Santa Fe’s entire residential electricity load annually. The project will also offset the equivalent of 120,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions per year. But that’s not all! Rancho Viejo Solar is estimated to create more than 200 jobs during peak construction, generate $10 million in tax revenue and $4 million in gross receipts taxes over the life of the project to our local community. This project is a win-win for the Santa Fe community. Rancho Viejo Solar will help provide a boost to our local economy, delivering compelling economic benefits to the community for decades to come, while helping Santa Fe lead the way in meeting New Mexico’s renewable energy goals over the life of the project. AES is committed to being a part of the long-time success of the Santa Fe community. They have a strong reputation as a good neighbor, community partner, and will add value to the local business community right away. The Rancho Viejo project enjoys broad support in the Santa Fe community. Local businesses and Chamber members can help by showing support for the Rancho Viejo Solar project. We need the business community to help by writing letters to our local elected officials, or by joining us for the Board of County Commissioners hearing, and generally, helping us to spread the word in the community. Please reach out and let us know if you’re willing to lend your name to the list of Rancho Viejo Solar supporters! You can contact us by emailing: [email protected]. |
