Chandler artists' work part of Valleywide tour

Posted

The nonprofit Sonoran Arts League announced that Arizona’s largest and longest-running artist studio tour, Hidden in the Hills, will take place during the last two weekends of November: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 17, 18 and 19, and Nov. 24, 25 and 26.

This year’s free, self-guided tour features 164 artists at 41 studios throughout the Desert Foothills communities of Cave Creek, Carefree and North Scottsdale.

There are several artists from Chandler participating. They include abstract painter Carol McDonald,  math-and-science-inspired, wood and mixed-media artist Phil Webster and contemporary ceramic artist Sandy Ashbaugh.

This year’s HITH artist directory also will feature three diverse artworks on the directory’s back cover. Those artists include jeweler Kelly Charveaux, glass artist Jacki Cohen and McDonald.

McDonald, on her website, said she's an "intuitive idealist."

"I see my world as endless potential and possibility," McDonald wrote. "I think that’s why I’m so drawn to abstract art.  It has no agenda and with every stroke of a brush, something new is showing up."

McDonald says each piece is unique, in and of itself, and she never really knows how it will evolve.

"That’s exciting to me," she wrote.
