The community is invited to the next Fountain Hills Artists’ Gallery’s weekly demonstration Tuesday, Dec. 17, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The featured artist for the event is oils artist Chris Demma.

An Arizona native, Demma’s oil paintings invite her audiences to experience the rugged and evocative beauty of the Sonoran desert landscape.

Her contemporary Southwestern works are creative expressions of the exotic botanicals, light and atmospherics of this singular place, a press release said.

Working from personal photos, Demma searches for unique patterns, colors and shapes, then translates her images into intuitive impressions that she shares through her oil paintings.

“My primary passion is inspiring people to partake in the mystery and wonder of the Sonoran Desert,” Demma said.

The gallery is located at 16858 E. Avenue of the Fountains and is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
