Our very own Master PAPNM Artist, Peggy Immel, was a juror of entry.
https://masterworksnm.org/
It began with a unique vision, that of combining the talents and experiences of existing fine arts organizations, each representing artists throughout New Mexico, to sponsor a show of New Mexico’s finest art.
MasterWorks of New Mexico consists of four separately juried and judged shows. It is a collaborative effort by Bardean LLC, New Mexico Watercolor Society, Pastel Society of New Mexico and the Rio Grande Art Association exhibiting together as MasterWorks of New Mexico to create a showcase highlighting the excellence of visual art in New Mexico.
*Please let karen.halbert@gmail.com know if you have been juried into the show. Otherwise, the full list of juried PAPNM Artists will be added when the painting images are put online on the Masterworks website (right after the opening on the 22nd).
Join us for another video chat, this time with PAPNM member and 2019 President, Natasha Isenhour.

Artist Cynthia Inson with her paintings
How do you describe success? Cynthia Inson: I describe and realize success as an artist to be related directly to me setting goals, reaching those goals, setting new ones, and continually feeling maybe not comfort but encouragement to grow as an artist. For example, a goal was to create a website, done, another was to start doing ads in Plein Air magazine. Done. Another is to be juried into National Shows and be recognized in a National Arts Magazine. Goals will, of course be different for each artist, but these are some of mine.
What is the best thing about being an artist? Cynthia Inson: The very best thing about being an artist is the continual critical self-analysis of my work, that in turn, if I am paying attention, pushes me to improve my work. Visually it is so very exciting when I step back and see a breakthrough! I love analyzing the abstractions of forms, light, and color.
