516 ARTS invites you to the opening reception of The Other Side of the Tracks on Saturday, November 9 from 6 to 8 pm. Curated by Jorge Rojas, The Other Side of the Tracks features national and regional artists, challenging the traditional narrative of the American railroad, and promotes a more inclusive and accurate view of the subject matter. As a new generation of faster trains emerges, we must think critically about the history of our railways: who they have served, who they’ve neglected, and who they have hurt.

Saturday, November 9th (1-3pm)
Broadcasting the Light: Fused and Stained-Glass Art
Working with extreme heat to bend and coax glass to her vision, Lisa Chernoff's fused glass sculpture is inspired by elements found in nature. Nancy and Jon Couch have shared their “Gifts of Light” for over 40 years with stained glass windows, Water Prisms, jewelry boxes, mandalas, lamps, sun catchers and ornaments.
Award winning artist Carla Forrest paints the New West in her spectral luminescent works, inspired by direct observation of nature and life. Forrest attributes her love of impasto painting and mark-making to her undergraduate study of sculpture and modernism. She is a first-generation Ukrainian American who is influenced by contemporary impressionism and the Pointillists' method of placing two colors side by side to let the eye blend them into another color.
Honored as a Local Treasure by the Albuquerque Arts Business Association, Forrest’s personal artistic mission integrates awareness of environmental conservation, community connectivity, and creativity. As the first-elected President of the Plein Air Painters of New Mexico, Forrest expanded the fledging non-profit’s integrated mission into an artistic community dedicated to preserving and promoting painting en plein air – in the open air or outdoors – and an internationally recognized artistic organization that heartens public awareness about the natural, historic, cultural, educational, and recreational aspects of conservation and critical water issues in New Mexico. Forrest obtained her Bachelor in studio art from State University of New York, Master of Science in Teaching Visual Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology, and Doctor of Philosophy in Organizational Learning and Instructional Technologies from University of New Mexico.
"I approach art as an observer of the soul, enlightening the viewer about the presence, wonder, and dignity of nature and life. I want the viewer to value place and person in a space of spirit and heart and bring this illumination into their personal environments. While painting, I think about scale and how insignificant and unimportant we are in relation to the natural elements like sky, mountains, rivers, foliage, and fauna. I think about light—warmth and cool—and the play of highlight and shadow, and how nurturing our sun is in the cycle of life.
This direct observation of nature and presence inspires my spectral luminescent works. My palette and sculptural form come from what I see in the western landscape—full spectrum colors and stellar shapes, not just greens, blues, and square angles. My paintings emerge through multiple layers of color tiles and striations using pallet knives and other mark-making tools, creating a dynamic, tactical quality that appeals to a sense of touch and feel. From thin to the thick and from transparent to opaque, the rich surfaces of my paintings immerse the viewer into a multi-dimensional world where they may experience the soul of creativity."
