Chuck's lifelong passions for travel and architecture, coupled with his rich experience in art and education, has inspired him to teach thousands of students, many of whom have become architects and professional painters, including Diana Madaras. Join us in celebrating the small things in life!

Wilson’s art is represented in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution (Washington, D.C.), the Booth Western Art Museum (GA), and the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum (AZ).

Ray Tigerman: "Vibrant Visions"

On view in the Gallery

Ray Tigerman is a distinguished contemporary artist of the American Southwest whose vivid acrylics and textured paintings evoke the region’s high-desert landscapes with striking immediacy. His work—ranging from dynamic wildlife to contemplative and stoic portrayals of Indigenous people—honors the spirit of the Southwest through bold color and expressive form. Born in northern Nevada and connected through family to the Oklahoma Choctaw Nation, Tigerman infuses each canvas with an intimate sense of place, weaving personal heritage, cultural memory, and the region’s enduring mystique into a singular visual language.

Ray Tigerman will debut a new boday of work at the Madaras Gallery, presenting a fresh exploration of the color and emotional resonance that defines his artistic voice.
