From a small Amish town in rural Ohio to the mountains of Colorado, Doyle Hostetler was immediately enamored with the tall pines and magnificent wildlife of the area. His subject matter has always been about wildlife and all of its beauty, especially the big cats and hoofed animals of North America. In high school, the Wildlife World Museum was just a bike ride from his home, after winning an art competition he received a year’s membership and spent his free time admiring, studying, and sketching at the Museum.
His family moved to Arizona in 1983 where he started his career in Architecture and, eventually, into residential construction. Now after 30 years of commercial work he is concentrating on his own artwork. The illustration, rendering, and design have translated well into oil painting. The years of mastering values, composition, and drawing have been priceless. “My confidence grows with each canvas completed… fresh with a head full of ideas and a passionate yearning to turn loose my hands.”
His love of the west would magnify after meeting his wife. Spending summers in Colorado, Montana, and Idaho, their son was a natural-born cowboy. The working ranch in Idaho was a favorite destination for the simplicity and raw beauty its remote location embodied. The Pacific Northwest has become like a second home as his brother lives in Astoria and his daughter is in school in Portland.
“Living in Arizona has its own branding, one can’t help being hypnotized with the colors, the diversity in habitat and incredible wildlife! The endless possibilities ignite the passion that fires the creative engine!”

J. Chester Armstrong‘s sculptures are charged with movement and emotion. “I carve to reawaken the soul of the viewer to the primal energy and life force of earth-based imagery. My sculptures move in the rhythm of circles, spirals, and flowing lines dictated as much by the grain lines of the wood itself as by my own sense of the harmony of the natural world.”
Out of local Oregon woods, (e.g. Juniper, Maple, Pine, and Walnut) Armstrong carves the world he sees surrounding him… Eagles, ospreys, wolves, cougars, coyotes howling at the moon, herons perched majestically at the river’s edge- the magic of life. “This is what moves me. This, and the wild herds of mustangs that inhabit the west of my imagination.”

Through extraordinary visual imagery, Reid Richardson communicates profound visions of hope for the future and nostalgia for his youth. His distinct color palette, subject matter, and technique resonate with a growing audience. Having an appetite for self-exploration in a modern world, his intention is to exploit the hidden meaning in the simple beauties of life’s nuances. His brush is attracted to creating bold images of poetic skies and surrealistic landscapes. His work has developed over the past years into a complex personal vocabulary of imagery that stirs emotion and engages the intellect.

In alignment with the Native Spirit ArtWalk, The Signature Gallery will be showcasing a striking collection of Ray Tigerman’s contemporary acrylic paintings. Tigerman seeks to create bold, colorful, layer-intensive, dimensional works of art on canvas and board that evoke a sense of nostalgic mysticism. His subjects, predominately Native Americans, are brought to life by the edge of his palette knife, where they emerge from his imagination. They are, as he is, on a journey, and a path of discovery.
+ Live Music + Refreshments + Fine Art + Fun!
Ray Tigerman grew up in the high desert of Nevada, at the feet of the imposing Sierra Nevada Mountains and a stone’s throw away from a sprawling Paiute Indian Reservation. Tigerman has spent his creative life exploring, painting, and reconciling his collective experiences with the Southwest and its indigenous people — a subject he returns to again and again, each time with something new to uncover and share.

Be among the first to view the new Spring collection from our internationally acclaimed artists Star Liana York and B.C. Nowlin during the Scottsdale ArtWalk. Enjoy an evening bridging the gap between the past and present with contemporary and traditional artwork, refreshments, and live entertainment.
STAR LIANA YORK
Star’s source of inspiration for a significant part of her work comes from Native American and Western cultures. She sensitively captures their cultural identity, whether indigenous or ranch life, and celebrates them by preserving her observations through bronze.
Animals, especially horses, have been another source of inspiration. Since the purchase of her first horse in high school, Star has been intrigued by the fluidity of line and mass of horse anatomy, as well as by the animal’s fiery instincts. Star’s sculptural depictions of the horse are based on her interpretation of the equine image through history.
[View Star Liana York's Artwork]

B.C. NOWLIN
Nowlin became something of a road warrior as an artist, crafting a lifestyle of constant travel, painting, exhibition, and chaotic experimentation with his art’s direction.
B.C. Nowlin defines his art as “a border town journey”; and it certainly mirrors his cross cultural background. A native of Alameda, New Mexico, his family’s land formed the southern boundary of the Sandia Pueblo Reservation. Nowlin came of age steeped in experiences of vibrant Hispanic culture and Native Puebloan mysticism.

Wrangling the Sun with Robert Hagan in Santa Fe

Friday, May 19th
5 – 7:30 PM
See an impressive new collection of Robert Hagan’s most recent creations as you enjoy light bites, refreshments, and a beautiful Spring evening in the heart of Santa Fe.
Born in Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia, Robert Hagan spent his youth in and around the beautiful Tweed Valley. He graduated from university with an Arts degree in Economics and a Diploma in Education. He then taught high school and painted as a hobby, but soon realized he wanted a career as an artist.
“I’ve been pushing paint around for well over 40 years and still enjoy every moment of it- so it’s still a hobby, I guess. My boyhood was spent exploring the rainforests of the Tweed Valley in Australia while stepping around snakes that basked in the midday sun. From 28 to 31, I ‘taught’ myself to paint. It was the most frustrating period ever. I had no clue what I was doing and stubbornly sought no help whatsoever from anyone other than the deceased greats of the past.”
Hagan’s first art book on Australia came out about this time and he participated in many exhibitions from 1980 to 1988. In 1991 Hagan moved to America to paint the America’s Cup and while here plunged into thoroughbred horse racing and generally fell in love with the American West.
Robert returned again to Australia in 1998 with his children, the year his art book of paintings celebrating women and children titled, “Cherished Moments”, was published, and began to play with the idea of video production. He was eventually able to combine his love of painting with his love of travel in several different TV series seen around the world. Author of 7 books, Robert Hagan was also the originator/Executive Producer and host of his travel & painting series, “Splash of Color” which was licensed in 2010 to Discovery HD and shown internationally in several languages.

Joy in Color with Cara Moran in Laguna Beach
2023-07-06 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Signature Gallery Laguna Beach, 220 Forest Ave, Laguna Beach, CA, 92651, United States
Meet contemporary landscape artist, Cara Moran, at the opening reception of her one-woman show titled “Joy in Color” during the First Thursdays ArtWalk in Laguna Beach.
Thursday, July 6th
6 to 8 PM
Cara Pabst Moran has garnered the attention of collectors, enthusiasts, and fellow artists alike for her ability to render contemporary landscapes in an oil-impasto style while putting her own spin on masterful techniques. Striking colors, rich layers of texture applied with a palette knife, and unmistakably positive energy are key elements of Moran’s unique perspective.
As a student, Cara apprenticed with modern artist Beth Ames Swartz, “who has always been a source of inspiration for color and expression within my work.” While absorbing the diverse approaches of contemporary and historical artists, Cara developed a style all her own, capturing the fleeting beauty of the natural world with the quickest of impressions.
Moran’s work has been enthusiastically received, exuding energy and joy that her public finds compelling. Using almost exclusively a palette knife, the texture she achieves makes her work three-dimensional. But it’s the fourth dimension, the intangible quality, that captivates the viewer and holds them spellbound. Growing up in the Arizona desert, Cara now resides in Phoenix where her primary focus is raising her six children. “They provide my greatest inspiration. Their innocence and beauty bring me such a depth of hope and joy. I want to speak this joy in my paintings.”

ANDREA ALLEN
Andrea is an innovative visual artist and entrepreneur with a keen eye for composition and form. She has been featured in five exhibitions both publicly and privately hosted across Santa Fe (NM), Chicago (IL) and Ballyvaughan, County Clare Ireland.
“I am inspired by naturally occurring lines in the environments around me, like a crack in a stone, or a beam of light cutting through the clouds. These edges are so striking in connection with the organic shapes we most often see, and I use my work to accentuate them. My series, “Sunscapes”, reflects a contemporary take on environment as a classical subject, inspired by ideas from Euclidean geometry.”

“My most recent work focuses on the various metaphors a tree provides. A tree is a powerful symbol. It can represent protection and wisdom, personify a human being or teach us about our past. ‘Family Tree’ is a body of work concerned with the idea of what a family is and how we are all connected. I have combined the abstract nature of cumulous clouds, my favorite subject matter, with the structure of a tree to create a visual mystery.”

A passion for fine art & design fueled her ambitions to create her artistic style and pursue becoming a full-time artist. Following her first solo exhibition, she began exhibiting artwork in multiple galleries throughout Canada and rapidly expanded into the international market. Her work has received global recognition and in 2014, she was granted a rare extraordinary ability Visa by the U.S. government which allows her to live and work in the States more permanently.

Her signature painting technique combines influences from cubism with urban art to create her unique style known as URBAN CUBISM. She blends and mixes her paints directly on her canvas using only a palette knife. The cubic texturing results are rich and captivating. The strokes of her palette knife give the artwork a three-dimensional quality which allows her to express her responses to the energy and soul of the urban environment. The paint lifts off the canvas creating shadows and giving the overall dimension and depth to the art. Her bold and modern colors deliver a distinctive architectural perspective.

Unencumbered by the worries and woes of what disadvantages one faces, this mentality focuses on the good in life. The simple pleasures that bring us together.
