Tony Bonanno is an internationally acclaimed photographer based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His subjects have ranged from the President and First Lady of the United States to indigenous peoples and their cultures, to capturing the beauty and rhythms of running horses in his acclaimed ‘Hooves & Dust’ series. He has photographed extensively throughout the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, South America, Cuba, Australia, and Africa.
His fine art photography has been featured in numerous galleries and museum shows throughout the US and abroad. Cathe Physioc and Lucky Pig Gallery are honored (and lucky) to represent Tony Bonanno’s beautiful photographic fine art exclusively in Colorado. We are offering signed limited edition prints in custom sizes in addition to the framed works in the gallery.
The Hooves and Dust series has been praised by both horse lovers and art collectors. Hooves and Dust explores the intersection of light, dust, and movement in a way that focuses on the raw power, grace, and beauty of horses. Shooting locations include the former Rock Springs Ranch in Tumalo, Oregon and actor Val Kilmer's Pecos River Ranch in New Mexico. Limited edition prints are printed exclusively by Tony Bonanno.

Mixed media artist Marsha Balian admits to difficulty following instructions (unless she really has to). She is self-taught and frequently invents her own techniques. Her work has a strong narrative quality and incorporates found objects combined with drawing and painting. Since invention doesn't require strict adherence to rules, her art avoids what might be literal and attempts to engage the imagination of the viewer. Humor is never far behind.
Marsha Balian's artwork has been shown throughout the Bay area, many parts of the country and internationally. Her work is placed in hospitals and a library. She has been featured in several publications including Photo Trouvee Magazine, Woven Tale Press, Oakland Magazine, West Marin Review and 48 Hills Magazine. Her work is included in "Collage by Women: 50 Women Collage Artists of the World" a book published in Spain that has enjoyed huge international success. Most recently, her work appeared in the international journal out of London, Contemporary Collage Magazine.
Statement for Marsha Balian
I am married to spontaneity in the studio, meaning I do not plan, or conjure my work in advance. I am propelled by a sense of mystery, waiting (not always patiently) to see who and what will arrive once I set out on the journey of making art. My work may begin with shadowy notions, but in many respects, it is the force of curiosity that holds my attention captive. It is a mystery to be solved, a conundrum to be settled and I am compelled to carry on until the work tells me that it is done.

The Old One
Patricia Coughlin is a recent transplant to Colorado Springs from New York State and Boston. She is a renowned clinical psychologist, speaker, writer and an artist. She feels each area of interest informs the other and, in all endeavors, she goes all in! She arrived here during the Summer of 2020, making her studio workspace in the basement of her Old North End Victorian. During the period of Covid isolation Patricia says, “My creativity was unleashed and now reflects the contrast between light and dark; opaque and transparent; rigidity and fluidity; interior and exterior. There are layers to peel and surprises to discover. What is hidden and what is revealed?”
These wonderful, expressive and vibrant abstracts have been chosen for Lucky Pig Gallery because they contrast and compliment the extraordinary, inspiring landscape of Colorado.
