    New show, “Once Upon A Time” the story of creativity, features Keating’s new paintings

    The paintings, sculpture, kiln glass, assemblage, collage and monoprints in the new show at ViVO Contemporary Gallery were created during moments when the artists were vitally engaged in their work, during a conversation between the artist and the image or object being created, the result of a process of discovery through making. However, the artist never knows how it will complete itself until both the creation and the creator are in sync, allowing the “hidden message” to be

Ultimately, I am hoping that my contemporary figurative paintings inspire the viewer to connect with the emotions contained in the brush strokes and rediscover the joy and wonder found in the everyday, so, by that definition, commissioned works fall into the same category. Here are some of my recent fa

    Giving Voice To Image 5: A Collaboration of Artists and Poets at ViVO Contemporary

    For the fifth year ViVO Contemporary artists are collaborating with an award winning group of New Mexico poets giving poetic voice to artistic image in the new show, Giving Voice To Image 5. This creative alliance draws its inspiration from the ancient Roman poet Horace’s adage, “A picture is a poem without words.” All too often, artistic disciplines remain separate. Giving Voice To Image 5 is a unique and exciting celebration of the beauty of words and images which explores
