Jackie BlurtonThe Grant County Art Guild will feature artist Jackie Blurton on Saturday, June 25, at the Pinos Altos Gallery. Ms. Blurton's paintings recently won Best of Show for her "Red-tail Flight over the Mogollons" and the People's Choice Award for "A Bluebird Home in the Aspen" at the Grant County Art Guilds Southwestern Birds Show at Bear Mountain Lodge in April and May.
In the past Blurton's pen and ink bird and nature illustrations appeared in the monthly newspaper article, "From our Place to Yours." She created more than 450 illustrations during the nine years the article ran in the Silver City Daily Press.
Blurton studied landscape oil painting with local artist, Tom Holt. Her paintings and illustrations can be seen at the Pinos Altos Gallery. The gallery is located in Pinos Altos and is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 5pm.
