“Under the Western Sky” with Joanne Agostinelli
The Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery is please to present member
Joanne Agostinelli’s new show, “Under the Western Sky” with a reception
for the artist on Jerome’s First Saturday Art Walk, June 6 from 4-7 pm. The
Co-op is located on the ground level of the Old Hotel Jerome at 502 N Main
St, Jerome.
Nestled in the breathtaking Verde Valley, just a stone’s throw from Sedona,
AZ, Jo Agostinelli is inspired by Nature, and the Arizona landscapes and
skyscapes just a step outside her front door. Swirling brush strokes infuse
life and color into her interpretations of the vista. “During my first year in
Arizona, I was so taken with the dramatic skies that I painted them for an
entire year!”
That sense of wonder continues to shape her work today. Her paintings feel
alive due to their sheer size. A single oil painting measures 36” x 46,” which
would be quite a statement on any wall.
While the Arizona landscape remains a central inspiration for her work,
Joanne’s artistic interests reach far beyond traditional landscape painting.
As a lifelong horse lover, Joanne paints sleek horses, free running
mustangs, and bronco riders with equal ease. Additionally, for more than a
decade, Joanne has explored painting in oils on sealed terra cotta,
transforming a humble clay surface into a richly detailed work of art. An
array of subjects is described on the clay surface: Mexican folklore,
Southwestern traditions, symbolic imagery and kaleidoscopic mandalas,
blending cultural storytelling with decorative beauty.
Joanne’s ability to combine vivid color and movement in her pastel works
has earned her recognition among collectors and fellow artists as well. In
honor of her achievements and contribution to the medium, she was
inducted into the prestigious International Association of Pastel Societies
Master’s Circle, an accomplishment recognizing excellence and dedication
in pastel painting.
Join us as we invite viewers to not only see the landscape, but to feel it—to
experience the wind before a storm, the warmth of the desert sun, and the
untamed spirit that lives “Under the Western Sky.”
Jerome’s First Saturday Art Walk from 4-7 pm. Snacks and refreshments
provided. The show runs June 6 – July 28.
Jerome Artists Cooperative Gallery is open daily from 10 am – 6 pm.
