Spotlight on Nature Gallery

5^th Annual Juried Show: In Between Worlds (juried by Alina Lindquist)
August 8 – October 31
Reception: Saturday, August 15 | 5 – 7pm

In Between Worlds explores the beauty and mystery of wetlands as places of transition, where land and water, light and shadow, and the familiar and the overlooked converge. Inspired by the liminal nature of these landscapes, the exhibition brings together artwork that explores boundaries, thresholds, and fleeting moments of transformation.

Inspired by Wetlands Park and the natural world, the artwork captures quiet moments, overlooked details, and unexpected connections. Through images of plants, wildlife, and shifting landscapes, the artists celebrate the wonder, diversity, and ever-changing character of the places that exist between worlds.

Shown below are a selection of works featured in the exhibition.

Cracked Earth, Blooming Spirit: A Celebration of Resilience in the Mojave Desert
By Taylor Pierce
August 14 – October 1

Taylor Pierce is a self-taught painter based out of her home studio in Las Vegas, Nevada. Born and raised along the East coast, experiencing the Southwestern landscape for the first time was a life-changing experience for her. The shapes, textures, and colors of the region excited her, and it wasn’t long before landscapes became her primary subject matter after relocating to Las Vegas in 2019.

From the artist:
Though often seen as arid and barren, the Mojave Desert supports a remarkable diversity of life. Despite being the smallest and hottest North American desert, it is one of the most biodiverse, with many plant species found nowhere else on Earth. Every sign of life reflects the resilience required to survive in this extreme environment. Plants endure through dormancy, deep root systems, and adaptations that conserve water, while even the ancient rock formations bear the marks of time and weather. The vibrant wildflowers that emerge from dry, cracked earth are a powerful reminder of nature's ability to endure.

Through this exhibit, I invite you to look beyond the seemingly ordinary and discover the remarkable spirit of the Mojave Desert. Most paintings are accompanied by a haiku, chosen to complement the artwork with a brief but meaningful reflection. Several of these works were created during my 2025 Artist-in-Residence at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. I am deeply grateful to Friends of Red Rock Canyon and the Bureau of Land Management for their support and for the opportunity to celebrate and inspire stewardship of this extraordinary landscape.
