Reflections Revelations Art Show Video (4min 36sec): Art of Joan Fullerton and Dawn Chandler. Local Taos artists Joan Fullerton and Dawn Chandler displayed a year of work in one showing at the Stables Art Gallery.
Joan Fullerton's work has been in galleries, juried shows and museums since the early 70's and she has shown internationally in Italy and Japan. Visitors to the Fullerton Studio are amazed at her proficiency across many subjects, media and styles. She relishes the opportunity to paint in whatever way calls her on any given day, working mostly with observed landscapes, portraits and invented/intuitive mixed-media pieces. Her Compositions often reflect the influence of an Italian sabbatical in 1999 and an excursion to Morocco in 2003.
Dawn Chandler received her BFA with honors in painting in 1988 from Miami University of Ohio. In 1992 she was awarded a fellowship to and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine. In 1993 she received her MFA in painting from the University of Pennsylvania. From 1997 to 2003 she served as the Executive Director of the Philmont Staff Association based out of Cimarron, New Mexico. Dawn has lived in Taos, New Mexico since 1994, where she works full time as an artist, designer, and maker of hand-crafted soaps.
