RioBravoFineArt’s opening show for Second Saturday Art Hop on September 12 from 6 to 9 pm is a dual artist show by Tauna Cole and Nolan Winkler. Both artists present artwork that reflects their personal creation process.

Winkler’s work for this show has no thematic element. Rather, her work reflects her emotional content connecting her with the world as she creates a particular piece. Her work in this show continues her journey with color and “mark making,” where mark making can be interpreted as Winkler’s use of graphic elements to create strikingly definitive images. Nolan’s work covers the gamut of the color palette, and the energy in her brushwork and mark making is unmistakably hers.

Cole’s pieces for this exhibition are from her current body of work, “The Breath Guides the Mark.” Cole’s experiences with yoga and meditation have made her sensitive to the importance of breathing to her interoception. She describes interoception as being the collection of senses providing information to an organism about the internal state of the body. She sees her breathing as being part of a meditative experience that can guide the creation of her artwork. The artist states that, for this series, “there is an intention to create a mark that is in sync with the inhale and with the exhale. Attention is paid to moving the brush or drawing tool with each inhale and exhale. It becomes an embodied experience; the breath affects the movement of my brush, and it becomes meditative.”

The intriguing work of Winkler and Cole is on display through October 25. For the show opening, music will be provided by the RGee Trio.

Border Artists exhibition at Rio Bravo

Opening August 8, 2026 during Art Hop 6:00 – 9:00 pm





RioBravoFineArt, 110 North Broadway, Truth of Consequences, presents the annual Borders Artists exhibition. Approximately twenty artists present a superb selection of wall art, sculpture and other media. Border Artists, a group of fine artists in southern New Mexico and El Paso, Texas, was formed in late 1990 to increase visibility and recognition for their artwork. With the success of the group, they continued to add new members. In 1995, they formed a non-profit artist association. Membership is by invitation.



Because the arts are integral to the cultural life of a community, the Border Artists are committed to creating artwork and sharing their art through exhibitions and educational events. The Border Artists exhibitions are often fundraisers for other local not-for-profit groups. The group awards several artistic scholarships for high school and university students each year.



RGee Trio will provide music, a mixture of pop and rock classics shaped with a light jazz style during the show’s opening. The Border Artists show runs through October 25, 2026.



Olin B. West’s show, Timescapes, a series of exceptional paintings, continues through August. Art Hop’s opening show on September 12 is a joint exhibition featuring Tauna Cole and Nolan Winkler, two members of the Border Artists group.
