A "Celebration of Art," featuring four prominent artists, is being sponsored by Spiritwind Gallery in Sedona Arizona. The event will be held at a private residence, on Friday, December 3rd, 2004 at 6:00 p.m.

This event is much more than a reception. It is an opportunity to meet four prominent artists as you view their paintings and sculptures. Food and spirits will be available, and live music provided by Sedona recording artist Patrick Ki. The featured artist of the evening will be Cotti, who has recently re-emerged to grace the art world.

Cotti, a newcomer to Sedona, is known for his exquisite portraits and mastery of a nearly lost tradition in the fine art of oil painting. He has been commissioned by greats like Josephine Baker, B. B. King, Orson Wells; and MGM film historian Jim Jeneji to capture Marlene Dietrich on canvas from a photograph collection. Cotti's work has been exhibited in galleries and collections throughout the U.S. and Europe. His talent is not limited to portraits, as his body of work extends to beautiful florals and stunning Native American works.

Other artists present include Jack Walker, Cowboy Sculptor. His detailed bronze creations reflect the many stories of his life among cowboys and horsemen. The experience and knowledge of his subject matter is evident in every one. Each sculpture depicts the experiences of the men and women who settled the west and those who continue to follow their heritage.

Those who attend will also meet internationally known sculptor Paula Yates. Her work has been exhibited and honored throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe and always brings a smile to the face of those who view them. The freedom and energy of women and children at play will capture your heart.

As another guest of the Celebration, Tony De Luz will also be available to share and explain his unique watercolors. De Luz has long had a fascination with amusement parks and automobiles of the 50's and 60's. "My paintings highlight the beauty of a culture of cleverly placed light bulbs...," reflects De Luz.

In addition to that of these featured guests, beautiful works by several other well-known artists will be on display as well.

This 'Celebration of Art' welcomes Cotti and his rich heritage of art to Sedona, and provides an opportunity to meet and mingle with several of the Southwest's finest artists.

There is no charge for this event and it will be open to all collectors and appreciators of fine art. To RSVP, and for further details....
