Featured Artist

Gwen Meyer Pentecost

Biography: Meyer’s early exposure as an artist’s daughter developed her eye and sense of painting structure. The style of her work can most closely be linked to the California plein air painters, although it continues to evolve into a more contemporary style as she deals with the requirements and realities of the Southwest landscape. She is particularly known for capturing the look and feel of each specific landscape, and enjoys painting either on location or from photographs in her studio, a skill she developed when she owned Joyous Lake Gallery in Pinetop, AZ. She now paints from her studio, also in Pinetop, or goes out plein air painting in the beautiful White Mountains. She paints under both “Pentecost” and “Meyer.”

NEAFAA - Who we are

The Northeastern Arizona Fine Arts Association was founded in 1974 by a small group of artists who wanted to share their love of art. At present we have over 60 members. Membership consists of many artists working in a variety of mediums. Membership is open to the general public. We have members who are neither artists nor crafts people, but they love art and being around others that share their interest. The goal of the Northeastern Arizona Fine Arts Association is to encourage and promote the artistic growth of the visual arts in the communities of the White Mountains. Our goal is accomplished through a variety of activities.

NEAFAA's members operate the High Country Art Gallery and Gift Shop to showcase original works of art by local artists. Our volunteer members present the annual July 4th Arts and Crafts Festival that brings artists from all over Arizona and the Southwest. Our commitment to art education is demonstrated by our active scholarship program and workshops. NEAFAA offers workshops by nationally known artists. These workshops are open to the public and help participating artists improve their skills.

The Northeastern Arizona Fine Arts Association is a 501 c(4) organization.
