Although cold for a night of camping last week, at least the tourist season wasn’t in full swing yet, and so I could navigate the tiny towns and their art galleries without the excesses of traffic and strolling tourists that clog the sidewalks.
The Arts abound on this beautiful peninsula with over 100 galleries, many featuring internationally known artists.
The Gate to Nowhere, William Jauquet
Edgewood Orchard Gallery is located in Fish Creek, and features work from William Jauquet and Chris Jauquet. Father and son each have their own unique technique sculpting and fabricating in metal.
James G. Moore’s bell sculptures were among my favorite things at this gallery. I loved wandering through the paths of the sculpture garden, occasionally hearing the deep tones of the bells as random visitors used padded mallets to vibrate the carved bronze bells.
Moore hails from Colorado, and you can read the history of the land and the wildlife in his creations. I loved reading his blog and learning about his inspirations. He has also begun a series of videos on You Tube that give you insight into his process and bring you to an Arizona gallery opening.
