“As someone who flies throughout Arizona routinely, both as a professional corporate pilot and as an aerial photographer, I see things that few people are aware of. It is a wonderful privilege, and fosters in me a deep appreciation for the natural processes that shape the land. Occasionally I make serendipitous discoveries, such as last year when, from an altitude of just a few hundred feet above the ground, my eyes locked onto this unexpected form: an erosional mound in the shape of a heart hidden in the remote Painted Desert terrain of northeastern Arizona.”

“I love Arizona with its Spanish influence, Indian Pueblos, sparkling deserts, the neon honky-tonk strips, the old motel signs, weird outrageously colored topography and tourist traps in between. I am especially fond of its small towns, back roads, and blue highways, where old trucks, low-riders and airstream trailers can be found. Life goes on in a timeless way and romance is in the air.”

Creative Nature
Artworks from the Airport’s Collection
Through July 22, 2012
Terminal 3, level 1

Artists draw inspiration from many aspects of nature. Some focus on plant life and landscapes, while others choose to represent animals. Nature sparks each artist’s creativity in different ways. One artist may depict an animal realistically, and another may create an abstract sculpture based on a beautiful landscape. Whether striving to directly emulate nature or choosing to draw inspiration conceptually, artists in this exhibition depict forms of the natural world. They work with clay, paint, ink, bronze, and wood to show their Creative Nature.

Metals & More
Through September 30, 2012
Terminal 3, level 2

This exhibition presents the work of fourteen artists who carry on the ancient tradition of metalsmithing. This ever changing art form presents contemporary artists the opportunity to pair convention with innovation.

Working with traditional materials such as silver, brass, copper and gemstones, these artists may also integrate other materials such as cork, wood, plastics or found objects such as vintage photographs and toys from vending machines. With creative combinations of new and old, these artists use metals and more to create jewelry, vessels, wall pieces and sculptures that are uniquely their own.

Metals and More is being exhibited in conjunction with the Society of North American Goldsmith’s (SNAG) conference being held in Scottsdale this May. The 41st annual conference is hosted by Arizona Designer Craftsmen (ADC). Members from both organizations were invited to participate in this art exhibition, one of many on display throughout the Phoenix metro area.
