SINCE 1971, SOUTHWEST ART HAS INTRODUCED READERS TO THE COMPELLING STORIES, INSPIRATIONS, AND CREATIONS OF COUNTLESS REPRESENTATIONAL artists, inspiring art lovers everywhere while also helping them make informed decisions as they search for new works to collect. In the following pages, we continue the tradition with a sampling of painters and sculptors whose subject matter and styles are as diverse as their mediums and creative processes. We invite you to enjoy this special section featuring pieces that are fresh off the easel—or newly carved and cast—and ready to add to your collection.
