Nature Is the Ultimate Resource and Inspiration for Art

September 3  11:00am  |  Clayton Bass – Artist Talk
Where: The Garden Gift Shop

Bass’s works are informed by nature, the source of life, depicting reality filtered through light, texture, and sound into Dreamscapes, representing an allegorical conversation between the natural world, the artist, and the audience. Some are traditional, some are fantastical, and all are invitations to embrace our biosphere and imagine the possibilities. This exhibition will include twenty-one paintings on canvas.

Bass has been affiliated with galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Huntsville and Birmingham, Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia; Ocean Springs, Mississippi; Chattanooga, Tennessee; and New York City. His work is included in private, corporate, and university collections in ten states.

Bass has curated more than a dozen exhibitions in various media in venues in Santa Fe and the southeastern U.S. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from East Carolina University and completed the Empire State College (SUNY) Studio Program in New York City, where he apprenticed with abstract expressionist painter Michael Goldberg.

Clayton Bass will give a brief talk about Rhythms of Life and answer questions at 11:00 a.m., this Saturday, September 3rd at the Tucson Botanical Gardens Gift Shop. The talk will be included with paid admission that day.
