“Making art is not the route to fame and fortune. If you are a serious artist with an innate passion to be creative, you try to be represented by a gallery and get a show once in a while.
Here are three artists in gallery shows now. The artwork may rotate, but you can find more information on the gallery website, or the artist website.
Thierry Guillemin slips through time, searching, questioning…exploring. His images emit light—the light that emanates from nature. His work reaches from abstract to landscape to figurative but always has depth; it plays with reality. He has a tryptic with much personal meaning now hanging in the Studio Gallery in Washington, DC.

David Amaroso paints the intricacies as well as the major influences that shape culture. Latino identity is more than language or a coincidence of backgrounds; there is a palpable joy of belonging—being a member of the group. He is currently among ten Latino artists in a show titled “Identidad” in Manassas, VA. The reception is September 20, 6-8 PM. The show runs to October 4, 2025.
J. Chris Morel paints mostly in the Taos, New Mexico region. He also travels the world looking. Always looking. It may be the mountains, or a stream or a church covered with snow, but it is really about movement and a restrained color composition. And something else—something that runs deep in the human soul: our primitive connection to the land. He often hangs in Santa Fe galleries, but he has also created his own galleries.
PTSD can come from personal trauma, or from a larger experience of human discord. It can be an attack on your physical being, or a rejection of your essential beliefs. You can give in, or you can fight through it to look for the light you didn’t notice before. It’s not suddenly there; it was always there. You can find the light in the work of a artist who has an innate passion to be creative—to climb above the human turmoil to supernatural art.
If you are a paid subscriber and have a show coming up, let me know. Or, if you would just like to share your work, send me an image.”
