Deborah Bays at Saks Galleries

Tuscan Red, pastel, 12 x 16 inches

Deborah Bays earned a Bachelor of Arts in Costume Design for the Theatre at the University of Texas at Austin then went onto complete a Master of Arts in Scenography at Purdue University. She settled in Denver and for twenty five years designed costumes and sets for regional repertory theaters.

After so many years of making art as a member of a team she longed for a more personal expression. This led her to study drawing and painting with many fine artists and teachers at the Art Student’s League of Denver. Her favorite medium is pastel and her favorite subject is light revealing form and conversely form revealing light.

Her work has been featured in Southwest Art and The Pastel Journal.  She has been awarded Master Pastelist status with the Pastel Society of America.

New Arrival! William Berra at Saks Galleries

Autumn Barn, oil, 20 x 30 inches

William Berra grew up in York, Pennsylvania. While in high school he attended college classes at the York Academy of Art, then enrolled in the Maryland Institute of Fine Art. After college Berra traveled the country painting en plein air until he was stranded in Santa Fe during the snowy winter of 1976 and, finding both the landscape and light exquisite, realized that he had found his home.

His vibrant European and American landscapes, beach scenes, figurative works, and still lifes attest to a talent that appreciates the beauty existing all around us. A William Berra painting is full of light, color, and the joy of living.

William Berra’s work appears in private and public collections throughout the world. Press includes articles in American Art Collector, Western Art Collector, Southwest Art and a discussion of his work in the books Art Journey America Landscapes: 89 Painters’ Perspectives, Art Journey: New Mexico and Sketchbook Confidential.
