We hope you will join the artists on Saturday, August 26th from 4-6pm as they unveil their latest works!
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 26th, 4-6pm
exhibition: August 26th - september 24th
While viewing fine art is typically a visual sensation,
the texture of a painting has a huge impact on its perception.
Converging at Mirada on August 26th will be three artists who
are experts at infusing tactile elements in their work to produce
lushly-nuanced paintings.
Gabriela Aguilo manipulates tinted waxes, creating a subtle
gleam and movement to her ethereal encaustic paintings.
Utilizing a massive palette knife, James Leonard’s paintings
can have up to 30 layers; his Transformational Series is likened
to a Chihuly on panels. Each piece of Stephanie Paige’s is an
extremely time-consuming endeavor as she applies and removes
marble dust, venetian plaster, sand, acrylics, metallic leaf and
other media to build her striking work.
Please join us Saturday, August 26th from 4-6pm, as we reveal the latest work by these three remarkable artists.

OCTOBER 27th, 6-8pm - the western landscape
This isn't your grandparents' 'western!' This special exhibition highlights the American Southwest from a very contemporary perspective, and features artwork from many of Mirada Fine Art's remarkable core artists. And we're thrilled to announce that we'll be bringing in nationally-acclaimed western artist Carrie Fell specifically for the show. Carrie’s provenance as one of the greatest contemporary artists of her time is secured by her placement in renowned museums, corporate spaces, and homes across the country. Each Carrie Fell piece is unique, yet all are recognizably part of a continuing story. Don't miss this tremendous exhibition!
