MYLES PINKNEY TO SHOW AT COTTONWOOD


We are excited to feature local artist and steampunk extraordinaire, Myles Pinkney, in our upcoming show Wily and Wonderful Things. Myles Pinkney began his career as a freelance artist in 1986, designing logos, architectural renderings, technical drawings and illustrations for various companies and individuals. Wanting to move into creating images that reflected his own personal interests and style, he began creating and licensing his fantasy artwork in 1996. His work has been featured on a large number of products and collectibles that have been purchased and enjoyed by thousands of collectors worldwide. For more information about Myles and to view his work visit his website at www.mylespinkney.com.

Wily and Wonderful Things opens May 31, 2013. Opening reception runs from 5 pm to 8 pm.

 

FEATURED ARTISTS MONTHLY SERIES


 

Our Featured Reception Area Artists Display puts our Cottonwood artists front and center for our visitors so the moment you walk through our doors you will be engaged by art. Our galleries are not always open due to hanging or jurying prior to a show so this is a great way for visitors to have a mini gallery space to enjoy! We love showing off our studio artists and have recently added a beautiful display for 3D work. Make sure to stop in and see the work that is up this month!
