(Scottsdale Airpark, August 10, 2006) “We’re out to prove that some of the most exciting art exhibits in Scottsdale aren’t necessarily staged in the downtown Scottsdale Arts District,” insists Diane Sanborn, BRIO Fine Arts Center Director. “Our first 2007 exhibit features critically acclaimed artists, Susan Falcon-Hargraves and Scott McNeill, who will be exhibiting their work next year in solo exhibits at the West Valley Art Museum.”
McNeill: Exploring New Dimensions For more than a decade, this artist has been combining multiple layers of subject matter and intertwining different levels of composition between wood-carved forms and painted imagery. In essence, McNeill has been developing, exploring and refining a new art form! These achievements have not gone unnoticed; in 2001, he was awarded the Dexter Jones Award/ National Young Sculptors Award for bas-relief sculpture from NYC’s National Sculpture Society. Continually “pushing the envelope”, McNeill has developed another unique art form by creating night-and-daytime glow works from castings of his woodcarvings. “These glow pieces are brand new; however, the style and imagery have been 11 years in the making,” says McNeill.
