Catch it if you can. A new solo exhibition "Across the Day," featuring new pastels and oil paintings by California artist Sally Strand, opened on February 5 at the Telluride Gallery of Fine Arts in Telluride, Colorado.

Whether painting a still life or interior—with or without figures—it is the light which captivates and inspires the artist. She has won numerous awards for her luminous pastels and was inducted into the Pastel Society of America's Hall of Fame in 2007. Read a feature about the artist from our new sister magazine, Southwest Art.

The show continues through March 5.
