🌞✨ Mark Moore Fine Art invites you to explore the exclusive ARTSY online exhibition, “A Place Where We Are In The Sun,” by the talented artist Amy Elkins.
In her powerful series (2022-present), Elkins weaves a narrative that connects family archives, historical documents, and early Alta California maps, illuminating the stories of land loss, assimilation, and resilience amongst Indigenous, Mexican, and multiracial ancestors in Southern California. As an 8th generation Angeleno, her work reflects a deep introspection into the historical conditions inherent to the soil—all while highlighting original indigenous names for locations and plant life both native and introduced.
Elkins, an acclaimed visual artist and educator, tackles themes of gender, race, and identity through a lens that examines the influence of systemic structures—from colonization to power dynamics. Her thought-provoking approach oscillates between formal, conceptual, and documentary styles, inviting viewers to engage with her family’s complex history on Tongva/Gabrielino land.
📸 Discover Elkins’ captivating works that have graced international exhibitions and revered publications, and learn how her art challenges perceptions and fosters understanding about our shared histories.
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into a narrative that is as enlightening as it is transformative. Join us in reflecting on the landscape of our past and present.
Allison Schulnik Duck #2, 2014 Gouache on paper 9 × 12 in / 22.9 × 30.5 cm COLLECTION OF THE MARJORIE BARRICK MUSEUM OF ART AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS
Mark Moore Fine Art and the artist are pleased to announce the acquisition of an important work on paper by artist ALLISON SCHULNIK titled, “Duck #2” from 2014 by the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for the Permanent Collection.
Allison Schulnik uses painting, ceramics, and hand-made, traditional animation to choreograph her subjects in compositions that embody a spirit of the macabre, a Shakespearean comedy/tragedy of love, death, and farce. Her works were compared to “the comic-grotesque visionary James Ensor” by The New York Times.
Schulnik has been making animated films since she was 17. Her films have been included in internationally renowned festivals and museums including the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, LACMA, Annecy International Animated Film Festival and Animafest Zagreb. She received “Best Experimental Animation” at the Ottawa International Animation Festival and Special Jury Prize at SXSW FIlm.
Solo exhibitions include the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, CT; Laguna Art Museum, Laguna Beach, CA; Oklahoma City Museum of Art, OK; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, KS; Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles; ZieherSmith, New York, NY; and Galeria Javier Lopez & Fer Frances, Madrid. Schulnik’s work is in the public collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego; Santa Barbara Art Museum; Museé de Beaux Arts (Montreal); Laguna Art Museum; The Crocker Art Museum; Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art; and The Albright-Knox Gallery – to name but a few. She lives and works in Sky Valley, CA.
Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art is located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the United States, we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ groups. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts, especially for first-time visitors. To facilitate access for low-income guests we provide free entry to all our exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and community activities. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for researchers and scholars to develop a more extensive knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).

This ARTSY showcase presents a curated collection of significant pieces spanning two decades of Rugg’s distinguished career. Rugg’s meticulous process involves meticulously deconstructing and reconstructing objects – from newspapers and comic books to wallpaper and furniture – challenging our perceptions of the familiar. 🤯
🌟✨ Mark Moore Fine Art proudly presents **“A Never Finished Light”** featuring the captivating works of Texas-based artist **Ken Craft**. This exhibit draws inspiration from a chapter in Richard Dawkins’ *The Greatest Show on Earth* and reflects influences from legendary artists such as Courbet, Richter, Herriman, and Guston.
🎨Ken Craft (b. 1967, New Mexico) is a Dallas-based painter who primarily works with oil and watercolor. His art marries representation with conceptual themes, exploring personal and natural history, evolution, and the universal struggles of life. Craft often infuses his pieces with comic book characters and narrative elements, inviting viewers into a rich storytelling experience.
💬 Ken shares, “These works are loosely inspired by a snippet from Dawkins’ book, illustrating the evolution of species through generations—such as female rabbits. Each generation bears resemblance to its predecessors, yet if you trace back far enough, the lineage diverges dramatically.”
✨ “Within my paintings, you’ll find echoes of rabbits amidst clouds, rock formations, and the night sky. They serve as reminders of our interconnectedness over deep time. Each fleeting image prompts us to contemplate our place in the natural world. As we navigate these challenging times, I find solace in exploring natural history and reinforcing our bond with all living beings.”
🌿 Ken Craft’s impressive portfolio includes numerous exhibitions across the country and accolades such as the Top Choice prize at Artspace 111 and a residency at MASS MoCA. He was also featured in New American Painting’s #138, highlighting the Western United States.

Penelope Umbrico (b. 1957, Philadelphia, PA) uses photo-sharing and consumer-to-consumer websites, mail-order catalogues, and image archives as expansive resources to create installations, video, and digital media works. Sifting through images on the internet using search engines for subjects like TV screens, mirrors, sunsets, and the moon, her work explores the production and consumption of images—and individual and collective identities—with attention to the technologies that both shape and are shaped by these forces.
One of Umbrico’s most iconic works, Sunset Portraits from 13,243,857 Sunset Pictures on Flickr 10/8/13 (2013), is a series of appropriated photographs capturing people standing in front of sunsets, sourced from Flickr (once considered one of the largest photo-sharing websites), a project she began in 2010. At that time, camera technology prioritized exposing for the brightness of the sun, often rendering the individuals in the foreground as silhouettes, thereby erasing the subjectivity of the individual.
Installed at the Avenue of the Arts Gallery at OCMA, Umbrico’s Sunset Portraits contemplates the flood of images in contemporary life while offering a meditation on collective experience through a universal theme. In an era that emphasizes individuality and highlights differences, while often finding conflict in those distinctions, the work presents a strikingly tranquil vision. Like the silhouettes in Umbrico’s work, we find ourselves in a state of solitude while simultaneously sharing in the wonder that unites us all.
