This is a crushingly sad time, with the loss of Larisa Aukon and Lyn Matthew, two of the Coalition's favorite artists. Both of these wonderfully talented women had long histories with the group, participating in many events over the years, and curating and coordinating many memorable exhibitions here in Flagstaff. There are no words for the sadness we feel, and our sympathies and heart felt thoughts are extended to their families. We know that their Lyn and Larisa made a difference to so many and that their work will live on to demonstrate to the world their enduring talent and rich lives.
Both Lyn and Larisa painted dancers with bold strokes of color. Rather than simply resting in peace, may they are both dance through eternity with the joy and and life affirming spirit that they brought to all their earthly work and lives.
Here are some images of Lyn and Larisa and their vast body of work
to remember them for all time...
It is with tremendous sorrow and sense of loss that we share the knowledge that Flagstaff has lost one of its true talents and warm, caring, thoughtful artists, ROBERT DALEGOWSKI. Not only will Bob's masterful work be missed, the Flagstaff art community is diminished even more by never again being able to experience Bob's humanity, empathy, and inspiring, positive outlook, embodied in both his work, and in the face his many challenges over the years. All who ever knew him were affected by his spirit and amazing artwork, stories, and brilliant, yet so understated banter, and any event or gallery was always enhanced by his presence. His long time membership in the ACF, and participation in Flagstaff Open Studios will be missed not only this year, but in all years to follow. No tribute can do justice to what he deserves, but please rest in peace, Bob, reunited with the spirit of the West that he embraced, illustrated, and lived each day of his life.
The Canyons are crying out with their loss and will never be the same without you.
