Craig Mitchell, "At the Crossing III"
Local artist Craig Mitchell was recently honored by an acquisition from the Whittemore Peterson Institute for Neurological Immune Disease at the new center for Molecular Medicine on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Mitchell’s oil paintings explore the process of creation and engage viewers into looking at a captured and transient moment in time and place, one that often eludes the busy experience of everyday life.

John Belingheri, 'End of the Rope', mixed media on paper, 32 X 24 inches
Art, a sea of exploring, stretching from a child’s finger painting to fine oils and sculpture, speaks different languages. Harkening to individual perceptions, art evokes meaning, and possibility. “Art transcends and has the ability to restore and rebuild what the grind of daily life stripes away,” notes Turkey Stremmel of Stremmel Gallery.
"Kachina Painter" by E.I Couse
In 2008, the Coeur d’Alene Art Auction had a record-breaking year, drawing approximately $39 million in bids. Peter Stremmel, one of three partners in the Reno-based event, said this year’s auction won’t bring in that much, but he is predicting success despite the ongoing recession.
Gordon McConnell, Stagecoach Attack, acrylic on canvas, 30" x 40"
McConnell is best known as a postmodernist western painter rooted in “the aura of time and distance and nostalgia”, the stillness, memorial, and mourning for dreams of the West. McConell’s shadowy riders are specters, forever fixed astride their plunging steeds, crossing ash-colored, abstract deserts. In the past two years, his work has been included in exhibitions at Stremmel Gallery, Reno; Toucan Gallery, Billings; The Arts Center, St. Petersburg, Florida; the Belger Arts Center, Kansas City; Visions West Gallery, Denver; Custer County Art and Heritage Center, Miles City, Montana; and the Meridian International Center, Washington, D.C., in an exhibition that traveled to the National Art Gallery, Beijing, and other museums in China.
The concept behind the upcoming spring exhibit at the Stremmel Gallery is that there really isn’t one.
“Pete [Stremmel] and I literally sat down with files of artists that we currently represent and started pulling them together, looking for how they’d mix and flow together,” says gallery director Turkey Stremmel. “We wanted both sculpture and paintings, and wanting to bring in some new, fresh names in addition to our existing artists.” Read More
The work of several Stremmel artists can be viewed in Art Ltd.’s latest issue.
The rich red and gold of Charles Arnoldi’s large scale painting ‘Woods Shock’ immediately greets viewers of Stremmel’s current group exhibition, “Perspectives 2010”. Done in an identical pallet, ‘Every Penny’ (shown below) is depicted in an article by Art Ltd. entitled “Painters’ Painter”. As one of LA’s leading painters, the magazine asked Arnoldi to consider some of his major influences.

Marc Katano and Nicole Katano: One by the Other
Shared exhibit of works on paper and digital imagery
The Edge Gallery is pleased to present works on paper by Marc Katano and the digital imagery of Nicole Katano, opening on May 28, 2010.
One might easily overlook the underlying synchronicity that Nicole and Marc Katano have developed through their 30-year journey as partners in life and contemporaries in art. At first glance they are a study in contrast.
Danae Anderson, It Was There All That Time, 2009, mixed media on panel, 42" x 36"
“Movement and music vitally inflect the improvised choreography of the paintings. The relationship with the “canvas” is intense and instinctive, accessing and allowing marks that arise through the uncensored conscious. Chance associations arise from the immediacy/physicality of intuition and observation. The residue of these actions reveal a visual narrative that documents and honors human experience. A deep overlay of play, language, events, dreams, objects, the self, the ordinary, sense/nonsense, the seen/unseen, the ancestors and progeny, memory and daily experience is recorded.

The work of internationally acclaimed photographer, Richard Misrach, is shown regularly at Stremmel Gallery. Photographs from his esteemed Golden Gate series are continuously on view.
Richard Misrach was born in Los Angeles California in 1949 and became a crucial voice in the reemergence of color photography and the large-scale format during the 1970s. In 1997 he and his family moved to the Berkeley hills in Northern California where he began compulsively photographing the majestic view of the Golden Gate Bridge from the front porch of their home. Eight-five photographs were produced from the series consisting of over seven hundred, all taken from the exact same vantage point at different times of day. Each capture the opening between bay and ocean, the famous bridge, in every light and weather condition Read More
