STORYTELLING WILDLIFE & ANIMAL FRIENDS
There are so many reasons to love wildlife art and appreciate the spirit of our artists who always deliver extraordinary paintings, sculpture, and mixed media works that transcend the ordinary. Some of the most compelling aspects that are captured by our artists is the sense of peace and awe that these artists bring to their works of art from animals in the wild as well as those on our farms and ranches. That peace has also been called “animal grace” which can be seen as the artists stop at just the right moment to show off the beauty of perfection, as that perfection shines forth in all its magnificence. In addition, the artists always notice that even animals have a sense of humor, as they also bring uplifting delight to the mix.
Whether the portraits and scenes of animals are captured in motion or symbolically representing salient characteristics of their behavior, the gallery’s wildlife show is a favorite time to celebrate the new season of fine art. The public is welcome to attend the reception celebration from 4-7pm. The focus on wildlife and domestic animals runs through the month of September.
2026 Calendar of Events
SEPTEMBER 2026
September 19th, 11am - until?: ANTON NOWELS ARTIST DEMO
Mountain Trails Gallery Sedona in Tlaquepaque is delighted to extend an invitation to art enthusiasts and collectors to attend the Anton Nowels Artist Demo where this celebrated contemporary landscape painter will be speaking about his array of techniques and inspirations that come together as he creates a new landscape painting that will be worthy of any collection. Anton draws inspiration from the light, atmosphere, and vast landscapes of the American West, as he creates paintings that emphasize memory, emotion, and place over literal representation. Emotive and expressive moments come alive in his paintings that set up a conversation of styles. “My work focuses on bringing together abstraction, impressionism, and plein air. I want my paintings to seem like something that has been seen — a memory — rather than a record of what is in front of me."
