A Silver Reverie
January 11th, 2025 – February 15th, 2025
(Oro Valley, AZ) – Artists & Makers Studios in Oro Valley is pleased to announce the new gallery exhibition by its new manager, Kaylee Dillon, A Silver Reverie. A Silver Reverie is a collection of monochrome Sonoran Desert landscapes, painted with acrylic on silver foil paper, capturing the luminous magic of winter light. Silver Reverie is the sister show to Dillon’s radiant summer exhibit, Golden Embrace, which celebrated the golden glow of the desert’s summer light through gold foil paper as a canvas. Together, these two exhibits form a poetic meditation on the shifting seasons, as told through the interplay of light and landscape. “In Silver Reverie, I wanted to explore how the cool, silvery light of winter transforms the Sonoran Desert,” says Dillon. “The way the moonlight glints across frosted cactus spines. The subdued shimmer of a desert sunrise. I wanted to capture the magic of those fleeting moments.” As the new manager of Artists & Makers Studios – Oro Valley, Dillon brings her passion for art and community to this inspiring creative space. Her exhibit reflects the ethos of the studio: a dedication to showcasing artistry that connects people to place. Experience the desert’s beauty in its most ethereal form, where shadow and light converge to tell stories of season and spirit.
