Through the Eyes of the Beholders; Two Families Collect Arizona Art
Arizona Capitol Museum, Phoenix
15th March 2024 - 14th June 2024
Through the Eyes of the Beholders: Two Families Collect Arizona Artists is a multi-media art exhibition sponsored by the Museum of Arizona Artists, MOAZA, and held at the Arizona Capitol Museum in Phoenix, March 9th – June 14, 2024. Exploring the idea of the various audiences that view the art—the general public, the organizing curator, the art collectors, and most essentially, the artists themselves, the exhibition will create a dialogue between these audiences and the individual works of art. Themes to be explored will include the historic past of place and memory, as well as ideas of emotion, fantasy and imagination, and even intellectual musings. The art features the creations of both living and dead artists from around the state, including a mix of both younger, as well as distinguished creators such as James Turrell, Fritz Scholder, Anne Coe, Steve Yazzie, and Beth Ames-Schwartz. Content emphasis and educational activities will be directed to a wide variety of age groups and family-friendly subject matter.

Artist Statement
My art is a place where the viewer can escape their reality and enter mine. It is hopefully a space to pause, enter and be within, offering humor, awe, inspiration and happiness. This is “My West”.
-Jenny Gummersall
What People Are Saying
“Jenny Gummersall’s photography knocks me out. She sees fine art everywhere around her — an egg in a ranch kitchen, a cloud formation over Telluride. Her Horse Dreams series gets me right where I live because it puts me right where I want to be — in a world where it’s just an appaloosa, a landscape, and my imagination ready to jump on and run wild. That these photographs can flip my fantasy switch with a little toy horse and an impromptu tableau tells me that Jenny Gummersall is an artist indeed.
Whether it’s her minimalist clouds, evocative horsescapes, or sculptural fresh eggs, Jenny’s images convey not just her skill with a camera but also the nature of her days, the nuance of her eye, and the attunement of her spirit.
