"Bling In the New Year!" (First Friday)

"Bling In the New Year"! Art by Kim Anguiano, MN Oil, and an introduction to the gallery's new official collaborator for 2026 Melizah Anguiano Wheat. This collective showcase features paintings, design and object art that explores glam, and the glitz of influences that are shaped and designed by the artists personal reflections. Melizah Anguiano Wheat - Artist Statement. Discovering vintage items, distressed dolls. Damaged imperfect figures and salvaged pieces is the foundation where my imagination begins when creating my art, my career as a hairstylist for film and television always begins by creating a character for their story. My art is my story, the one I want to tell. I use my professional styling skills when crafting human hair wigs for the rescued dolls. My vision of historical events, folklore, metaphysical and iconic individuals come to life in sculptural scenes, dioramas and collages.
