Founded 22 years ago in Dallas, Christopher Martin Gallery has created the perfect atmosphere to present reverse glass paintings and limited editions by Christopher H. Martin. Located in the Dallas Design District, the gallery is directed by Natalie Crosby. Christopher Martin Galleries are also located in Aspen, Colorado, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. The gallery also participates at acclaimed art fairs in Miami, the Hamptons, New York City, Chicago, Aspen and Palm Springs.
Currently on display at the Dallas gallery are selections of work by Christopher H. Martin and sculptures by Michael Enn Sirvet for the Winter Show. Martin abstracts his observations of nature using his signature reverse painting technique applied to the back of acrylic panels. At first glance, Martin’s and Sirvet’s works display a rational balance and an undeniable harmony. Upon contemplation, the pieces reflect an organic sense of existence and a natural ability to transform the spaces that they inhabit.
While creating his Aria Discs, Martin was inspired by the orbits of moons and planets in the solar system. The discs feature subtle metallic hues and iridescence. The Aria Discs were chosen by Art Miami as Special Projects for Art Wynwood, during Presidents’ Day weekend 2017.

Ginger Fox Gallery is kicking off its fifth year in the Bishop Arts District. The gallery primarily features paintings by Ginger Fox, but also represents a select group of other local fine artists, including Juli Price and Jennifer Lashbrook.
Ginger Fox began professionally showing her artwork over 15 years ago at established, highly regarded galleries across the country before collaborating with partner Lara Humphrey to open and show exclusively at Ginger Fox Gallery.
Upon visiting the gallery you will find several series of paintings mastered by Fox, from magical realism to abstract expressionism. “People are surprised by my abstracts if they are first introduced to my detailed realism. In fact, I have been painting abstract expressionism for over 20 years,” Fox says.
She attributes her range to the fact that she is ambidextrous and paints with both hands— sometimes at the same time. Fox feels as though it might help her in accessing both brain hemispheres, with each side functioning in very different ways. Detail work seems to require one way of thinking—in which stopping and starting is not a problem—while the purely intuitive, loose style of abstract expressionism requires another.

Tom Hoitsma’s art can be transcendent. The size of the work, the heavily layered paint and the almost sculptural quality of the 4-inch-deep canvases create a dynamic visual experience. “Something happens when I create work at a certain scale,” Hoitsma observes. “In all of my work a sense of the physical is very important. Putting the brush in paint, placing the paint on the canvas or wood. The goal is for the painting to change the air in the room.”
Hoitsma studied with worldrenowned art historian and author Harry F. Gaugh, who was integral to fostering Hoitsma’s interest and understanding of the “monumental” large-scale abstract expressionist painters of the ’40s, ’50s and ’60s. While still attending college, Hoitsma had the opportunity to intern with the celebrated feminist artist Miriam Schapiro. This experience changed the course of his work and continues to influence his painting to this day.
“Exploring how specific combinations of marks and colors affect me in profound ways is the focus of my work today,” he says. “I refer to my current large-scale paintings as deconstructed landscapes, and while the starting point is often inspired by landscape and/or the natural world, the objective is a vibrant, tactile visual experience.”

Phil Crawshay specializes in exquisitely detailed, large format fine art photography, often referred to as “HD for photography.”
The work represents the decades of Crawshay’s dedicated involvement and experience within the photography and digital media field. Every piece is handcrafted and produced at the gallery by Crawshay.
By utilizing many different processes, he is able to produce images of stunning clarity at very large sizes.
“Image sharpness across the whole image is extremely important to me,” he says. “Rather than just produce an arty composition, I try to capture the entire scene so it can be transported back to one’s own living environment in the most realistic and detailed way possible.”
The attention to detail does not stop at the photography. At the gallery you will see each piece beautifully presented using a process known as face mounting. This involves adhering the fine art print to the rear of acrylic, which produces an incredibly smooth surface that attracts the light in such a way that it appears to be almost backlit. The added advantage is that the piece is completely sealed and will never degrade. It is an extremely difficult process to achieve.

The soft expressions in oils by Pamela Blaies represent the variety of art within the inviting Holder Dane Gallery space. The old masters-style hint of light on glass and silver with roses bent against flow-blue pottery demonstrate Blaies’ classical style of soft-edged brushstrokes.
David Robin Hoyt is new to the gallery and brings a fresh contrast with his stark, white mid-century modern forms. His cleanly carved lines create subtle shadows and pleasing curves. Sculptures range from tabletop size (pictured) to commissioned wood forms that rise 25 feet and fill lofty heights in both lobbies and residences.
Pam Stern’s Reliquaries, done in her illustrator style, are the most sought after of all her highly original sculpture.
A rare bird oil painting by Ann Hardy is only a small part of her very large talent. Adding to her lifetime of achievements, Hardy recently received her Masters Signature Membership in the Outdoor Painters Society and Signature Membership from the American Impressionist Society.
MT Hunt brings an exciting abstract representation to the gallery. Her large-scale acrylic paintings feature bold colors that recede into floating layers of movement and reflect the passion that Hunt paints into her canvases.

Art connects us to our hearts. When you experience that soul ache, you have found your art language. Striving to create art that spoke to her and others’ deepest levels led Amy McKenzie to study art at The University of Texas while majoring in Interior Design. She also studied under renowned portrait artist Kay Polk. Now primarily focused on abstract art in a variety of media, McKenzie explores different textures and palettes to create a visual feast for the eyes with each painting. Gaining inspiration from nature, she prefers a strong composition of neutral tones with pops of bright color. Accented with intuitive strokes of charcoal or pastel, her paintings resonate on a subconscious level. With patrons all over the country, art by Amy McKenzie has become more recognizable and more valuable to collectors. Complementing many interior styles, McKenzie’s paintings create a beautiful focal point and conversation piece, without distracting from the overall design of a space. View her artwork in person at Kerr Collection in the Dallas Design District or contact her directly for availability of existing paintings or custom commission work. Happy to work with clients directly or through their designers, McKenzie uses fabric or paint swatches to perfectly harmonize her art with your overall design scheme.

Known among his friends as the Saltwater Cowboy, Bob Graham is an artist based in Charleston, South Carolina, whose love of the West knows no bounds. Over his two-and-half-decade career, Graham has mastered art through storytelling in his emotionally expressive paintings and drawings.
“My goal is to tell a story to evoke an emotion in the viewer. I feel art is a journey whose elusive goal is to communicate beauty that the creator has placed before us,” Graham says.
Combining his love of Western art and horses, his work often portrays the rugged rodeo cowboy who sought to explore, tame and ultimately survive the challenges of the vast wilderness of America. He enjoys painting people, especially cowboys. “I’m intrigued by their love of nature, their bond with their horses and their cowboy code of ethics. They evoke a spirit of a bygone era. While my work is essentially realistic, I always try to leave something to the viewer’s imagination. I want viewers to leave with their own story about the painting and to finish it in their own mind. Accuracy, attention to detail and dramatic impact are all characteristics that I try to instill in my work. I want my art to sing. I want to capture that unique sense of feeling in that one moment in time.”
