A preview of her artworks are on view on  “preview Thursday” 

August 3rd 6p.m. -9p.m.

The Show runs from August 28th until September 27th

In 2016, Denise won “Best-in-Show” in the Las Vegas International Juried Art Competition. The winning artwork, “The Jacks of Jupiter” will be shown along with a dozen of the other pieces from her House of Cards Series.

The series reimagines a deck of cards in large-scale works on paper. Weaver Ross spent three years creating the vibrantly colored images: 52 cards plus four jokers/wild cards. The 26 x 40-inch images layer cultural, political, historical and mystical references. Clubs become trees, spades explore bones and fossils, and diamonds transform in to constellations and celestial bodies, and hearts draw inspiration from Egyptian Tomb paintings and the Tarot                                                           .

“Nobody can accuse me of being a minimalist,” Weaver Ross says, in describing these pieces. “I shuffle everything I’ve experienced or learned in life and create new connections and metaphors that play out in the images.”

The artist donates part of her profits to organizations that support people living with Sickle Cell Disease. Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that causes severe pain episodes and a shortened life span. The artist’s late husband, Colin Ross, died from complications of the disease when he was just 39.

Without the hard and dedicated work of all our outstanding volunteers at Jana’s Redroom we would not be the art place we are now. Not only are we able to showcase their amazing and diverse artworks on a monthly base. We also know that all those Artist / volunteers are a kind source of information for all our customers. Their friendly personality, knowledge about the showcased artworks and professional background in their own art medium, makes Jana’s Redroom not only the heart of the Artsfactory, it is also a wonderful place for emerging artist to showcase for the first time in an international reconiced Art Gallery.

   “a Day at the Beach” 30×48 $1250

James Dingman – July 2017

“This month I have 3 new pieces on Canvas.  I’ve been working on smaller pieces on paper for 3 months.  It was a hiatus I needed to take from canvas because my work had become kinda stale (at least, to me!).  The break was energizing and I came back to canvas with new ideas and materials.

This month I had a curvy, primitive hill scape in my mine and it is expressed in all three pieces.  The palettes and feel are all different, though.  Oh, and each of these was painted over an existing ‘failed’ piece.  I work in layers and the more, (usually) the better – so the bad paintings underneath just became a lower layer as I added more and more on top.

‘Shout Hallelujah’ Is all about joy. I see it being shouted from the hilltops in this piece.  I try to find some peaceful space in all my work, a simple plane of color to contrast with the chaos of the rest of the piece.  Here, it is red.  Most don’t think of red as a peaceful color, but I do.  To me it says, ‘I am at peace with passion and being alive.’

‘Wave’ almost was untitled.  But, again, the curving spaces begged to be called a wave.  I love the way orange can blend into pink through buff and/or white – and that’s what formed the background of this piece.  I wanted to demonstrate that and punctuate it with a lot of energy and motion. Hence all of the scratching and uncovering and slashes of lines.

‘A Day at the Beach’ developed as all my work does:  layer after layer after layer.  It is one, though, that I needed to simplify in the final layers.  The depth of the piece results largely from covering up some of what Is below, putting something over it.  It’s been very hot in Las Vegas this month and I wanted to suggest warm sea breezes and gentle sun . .  .and the suggestion of a woman leaving after a day of sunning.
