Our August featured artist is Sam Luna.  Many of you may recognize Sam as a member of the acoustic duo, FEATherWOLF.  Sam's artistic ability expands into paintings, which will be displayed in the Great Room throughout the month of August.

Sam Luna is an artist currently based in Appleton Wisconsin. Born on the Navajo Reservation in Tuba City, Arizona. Sam draws inspiration from the rich color and texture he grew up seeing everyday. He has displayed and sold work all throughout the states and Central America (LA, NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Scottsdale, Sedona, San Diego, Solana Beach, Encinitas, San Juan Del Sur, Jaco...) 

" I want to make art that allows the viewer to become a part of the piece. Finding the right moment to stop so that the viewer begins to finish the painting in their mind and allows them to become the artist. I hope to inspire people to create more art."

Grab a glass of your favorite wine and wander through the "Great Room Gallery".
