CHAC Norte Featured Artists starting Nov 15

Rob Yancey

Rob Yancey began as a self taught wood carver, who enjoys studying and creating Spanish Colonial art.Throughout this whole process Rob has stuck with his goal to produce art work in a non-dualistic mindset and allow the Creator to touch those who are searching for their identity and purpose, even when they appear to have no soul. Creating something sacred out of wood is what inspires Rob to keep carving. Rob now studies under master carvers Joe Sikora and Bob Zettler.

Recently, Rob started primative folk painting as a way to express the beautiful landscapes he sees as he travels throughout Colorado and New Mexico. He is currently working on a sereis of paintings titled Slices of Life.

Tammy Yancey 

I create jewelry that is inspired by my love of nature, culture, and the gorgeous colors I see along the way of life, both past and present. Wearable pieces of art using precious metals, semi precious stones, handcrafted beads and lots of love!

 

Michael Penney

Michael's artwork reflects the custom beliefs and artistry of ancient civilizations. He combines the natural beauty of stone and the expressive texture of deep relief sand carvings. See his unique sandblasting techniques in CHAC Norte this month.
