May Solo Artist Ron Mabry

This month’s featured solo artist brings nature to life through abstract interpretations of earth forms and landscapes—ranging from ant beds to the full moon. Inspired by the rugged beauty and changing moods of Big Bend and the Santa Fe/Taos region, each piece captures both the vastness and intimacy of the natural world.

Using a unique heat-formed acrylic and back-painting technique, the artist lets the material guide the process. Torches, heat guns, and even hair dryers are used as creative tools, shaping texture, movement, and form in unexpected ways. The result is a collection that feels alive—fluid, organic, and deeply connected to the elements.

Don’t miss this immersive exploration of nature, form, and fire.
