Special Saturday Events:
Saturday, May 7, 2016   Jo-an brings her private collection of sculptural jewelry.  These dramatic and unusual large jewelry pieces were created when Jo-an was completing her Masters of Art.  You are invited to Cutter Gallery to hear Jo-an describe how these jewelry pieces have influenced her curent art...both jewelry and paintings. Jo-an will be in the gallery to visit with you from 11AM to 2 PM.  
 "Celebrating 40 Years!"  includes work from Jo-an's
private art collection as well as new creations.  Several 
unusual acrylic paintings were painted while she was recovering from a broken right arm last Fall.  
​
"Small is Beautiful II"  was the highly successful show
at the Adobe Patio Gallery.  It ended in January of 2016.  Jo-an had several watercolors in this show.  

 

     Jo-an's 2014 One-Woman show, "Beyond Imagination: From Deep Water to Outer Space" was her most successful show yet.  A special Saturday event allowed a
a percentage of all sales that day to be contributed to the
NMSU new art building fund.  There were other special     events on the Saturdays following the opening.  The new
subjects from "Deep Water" to "Outer Space were very exciting and well received.  Jo-an has added these to her more familiar Southwest subjects which she continues to paint.  
     "Artist of the Week" article,  "Bold Pallet: Cosmic artistic adventures fascinate Jo-an Smith," appears in the Las Cruces Sun News,  Sunlife, Sunday, September 20, 2015, page E-4.
     Jo-an's next One-Woman show will open April 23, 2016 at Cutter Gallery.  Please watch here  for details.  Jo-an continues to exhibit with The Border Artists and selected Invitational Shows in the area.
