<\/a><\/p>\nPhotographer and watercolorist Janet Alcalde joins with painter Margaret Sloan to exhibit artworks centered on nature at the Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery at Meadowmont Shopping Center in Arnold. You\u2019ll be able to view their work from April 1 to April 30.<\/p>\n
Jan Alcalde has been dabbling with photography for years and took up watercolor in retirement.\u00a0 Her images are inspired by the wonders of nature and the Sierra Nevada.\u00a0 She is also hopelessly enchanted by the beauty of New Mexico and the southwest in general, returning whenever possible to enjoy and capture its magic.<\/p>\n
Sloan\u2019s soft watercolors and oil paintings focus on still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, all related to her love of nature. \u201cSo many of us feel adrift these days,\u201d she said. \u201cMy artwork holds space for the viewer to connect with nature, other people, and ultimately, themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
