A member of the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America since 1995, internationally celebrated artist Martin Grelle's name is synonymous with the Western art world. His images of the American West, both contemporary and historical, reflect his deep understanding of the wide open vistas of the southwestern landscape and of the pioneering spirit of the people who live there. Grelleís dedication to research, exploring historical and social aspects of the old and new West is evident when standing before his paintings. Working mainly in oil and acrylic, always refining his technique, he paints with a moderate amount of detail, emphasizing color and texture to create visual imagery, and light and shadow for dramatic effect. He has received critical acclaim from collectors, his peers, and prominent art organizations. In June 2005 he became one of only five artists to have won the top award twice at the Prix de West Invitational show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma and has won numerous other notable awards over the years. Join us for an exceptional evening not to be missed!

After the Arizona premiere of her newest film, Play the Game, at the Sedona Film Festival, five-time Emmy Award winner, Doris Roberts will be the featured guest at Lon’s Artist in Residence Dinner. Receiving critical acclaim for so many of her performances in her stellar career– from television, to countless movies, and 30 years on Broadway – she has become one of the most beloved performers in entertainment. To celebrate a lifetime of such achievement, Roberts was immortalized with her own Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! After nine years as Marie Barone on “Everybody Loves Raymond,” which brought her international accolades as the most popular comedic actress in television, Doris Roberts returned to the movies as the star of two comedies for Twentieth Century-Fox, another for Miramax, then a drama for Hallmark, as well as a special segment of “Law & Order Criminal Intent” written especially for her.
As a child, growing up in the rural Midwest, there was ample time to conjure up projects to pass the carefree days. Creating simple pieces of art from mud clay and glass began as a means of amusement, however it soon grew into Lydia's muse. After college she began to experiment with different media but it didn't take long before she returned to her beginnings, finding a special piece of glass that would conjure up many artistic possibilities. Her affinity for glass and appreciation of nature can be seen in her paintings and mosaics. Simcox states "Still today, I am thrilled when I find a piece of wood, glass or even a rock that has been overlooked. I can see beyond the 'rough' creating a forum for which it will receive the admiration it deserves."
