SARA LEE D'ALESSANDRO / KARI BELL

April 16 thru June 4

The Taos Ceramics Center Gallery is delighted to present the powerful ceramic sculptures of Sara Lee D'Alessandro alongside the  imaginative desert landscapes of Kari Bell, April 16 thru June 4. From the moment you enter the gallery you will witness the emergence of mind, whimsy, energy, and beauty.    

​

D'Alessandro's home and studio, Mudwasp, is located in scenic Cuba, NM. She is a graduate of Pratt Institute and a lifelong artist who has exhibited her work for nearly fifty years and is in private and public collections throughout the US. For many years, D'Alessandro was a scenic artist working on Broadway sets and for the Metropolitan Opera House. Today, she works exclusively in clay and many of her pieces are created and intended for outdoor installation. D'Alessandro is an active member of the New Mexico Potters and Clay Artists.

Bell, formerly of Colorado, lives and paints outside of Albuquerque in Rio Rancho, NM. She holds a PhD in Spanish Language and Cultures from l'Universite de Toulouse, France. Following her retirement, Kari found her passion in painting and started showing in 2016. She quickly caught the attention of many throughout the Southwest and has developed a strong following. Her paintings reflect her love and appreciation for the New Mexico landscape and its history.
