ABOUT JEFF
Jeff Ferst is a local artist and member of Galeria Izamal (#25 Calle Jesus - Centro). Jeff is known for his unabashed use of color and for creating joyful paintings. Over the course of 30 plus years his work has run the gamut from vibrant sunsets of the American southwest to large scale abstractions to floral studies. And over the years these paintings have found homes in the US, Canada, Europe and as far away as South Korea and Japan.
Jeff grew up in New York City and attended NYU to study art. During this time there, he received his first gallery representation at the 8th Street Gallery. After graduating, he traveled Europe and the US before moving to Canada.
Although Jeff majored in printmaking and ceramics at NYU, he took up painting as his preferred medium. Go to www.jeffferst.com to see his work including his beautiful mosaics.
Like most artists, Jeff has had to take up other jobs to earn a living. He loves to cook and started a gourmet food business. He also had a business as an event planner.
But art was always Jeff's true love and passion. From the first gallery representation in NYC, Jeff developed other connections with galleries in the US and Canada. And when the internet came along, he jumped into that, and is now represented online by well-known online galleries.
In 2012. Jeff moved back to the US from Canada and was asked by the US State Department to contribute to an exhibition they were preparing for the Ambassador to Tajikistan. The exhibition included work by a number of established artists including Robert Indiana, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. Jeff's painting "Fantasia" was singled out as the flagship piece of the entire exhibit.
Jeff took the opportunity to market his art to others who were not necessarily art buyers by licensing his images to the home decor and clothing marketplace. His work is on various items from home entertainment systems to shirts, silk scarves, shoes, pillow covers, bedding, and dish towels. You will find some of these items including "San Miguel" tee shirts at Galeria Izamal..
In 2019, Jeff moved here and from that moment on his life and work became influenced by the magic of San Miguel - by the colors, the people, the incredible architecture and the beautiful campo surrounding the city. He began to paint the city, the lush variety of plant life, the hills and farmland.
Come to Galeria Izamal. Jeff works on Sundays. There you will find a variety of his work on canvas and paper along with some home décor and clothing items. And you will enjoy stepping into his part of the gallery.
If you were down-his work will bring you up.

FEATURED GALERIA IZAMAL GUEST ARTIST SCULPTOR
SUE GRIFFIN
´Crow in Red High Heels' by sculptor Sue Griffin
'Crow In Blue Boots' by sculptor Sue Griffin
3 organic sculptures by Sue Griffin
ABOUT SUE GRIFFIN
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in interior design from Oklahoma State University, I decided to attend law school. I put my creative urges aside and received my juris doctorate in 1992 from Tulsa University. I practiced law for 15 years, and retired in 2007.
'Crow in Tennis Sneakers' by sculptor Sue Griffin
I then moved to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Since living here, I have had the opportunity to delve back into my creative side. I began clay sculpting 10 years ago. It was love at first touch.
'Crow in Tennis Sneakers' detail by sculptor Sue Griffin
The clay I use in my work is from Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico. The pieces are hand built using slab and coil techniques. Colors are added by using underglazes and glazes and then they are low fired. Each piece is fired one or two times depending on the look I want to achieve.
ABOUT SUE´S CROWS:
I’ve always liked to do things to make people cock their head a bit. In other words to hear or see something differently. Even chuckle or laugh a bit. Something clever usually does the trick. Crows are definitely known for their cleverness. Just to sculpt a crow would not accomplish my desire for the head cock. Thus the birth of the cocky crow, dancing about in a pair of shoes!
Sculpting crows became an easy project for me but liking a challenge, I began making extremely detailed shoes for them to wear. The first shoed crow danced in red stiletto high heels. I definitely got the reaction I was looking for. So many styles of shoes to still create!

Wolfgang Lichter was born in Hamburg, Germany. He went to the states in 1971 after working in dentistry for 2 years. Then he moved to NYC in the East Village, surrounded by art, music and free love! There he started making jewelry- a big step away from dentistry!
After selling in the streets of NYC, he moved to Florida living on Siesta Key. In the winters there, he did the Florida Art Show circuit receiving many awards for his jewelry. Summers were spent in Provincetown, Mass. at Cape Cod. In the late eighties, he discovered the Renaissance Festivals. These are outdoor gatherings open to the public which recreate a historical setting for the amusement of its guests. They lasted 6-8-9 weeks with Wolf becoming a dashing swashbuckler pirate selling his beautiful wares (jewelry!) – having a ball and making a bundle! After that he would winter in Mexico.
He came to live in SMA twenty-five years ago, retiring from the Festivals. He joined Galeria Izamal in April 2018. And believe us – his swash has never buckled!
Come and meet him at the gallery when he works every Monday from 11-2:45 pm.

A MAXIM
By Henry Vermillion
One of the wisest maxims (remember maxims?) said by an artist is attributed to Da Vinci. It has saved me from a lot of grief over the years. “The greatest misfortune is when theory outstrips performance”. Of course, every artist is influenced greatly by the age in which he/she lives---no getting around it. But when the world of critics and esteemed art impresarios decide and then dictate what contemporary art styles are in and which are out, as they do, it succeeds in making sheep out of many genuinely talented and ambitious artists. We artists are almost universally eager to please and to be praised.
It´s been many years since the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC had no other choice---if they were to remain current and relevant---but to give its benediction to Pop Art, which they did with a controversial show. After all, Pop reflects our consumer society. It´s what we are immersed in: photos, ads, TV, social media, all that. It´s with us eternally.
Bright colors, action,humor, clever sayings that stick in your mind, all of that. It’s not going away. No doubt it´s why we are the richest nation, no?
An artist can criticize our consumer society. Many do. Ironically, many of them use commercially derived pop styles to make their point. It´s the only style they know, since that’s what they learned in art school yesterday. There are a few who are able to paint and draw in the more or less obsolete classic styles---which take a lot of hard work and a lot of time. (Warhol, when asked why he re-worked photos instead of painting them, was honest: “It’s too much work.”) Warhol himself was the most trenchant critic of pop culture. He sucked the life out of the potent images of Marilyn and Mao and embalmed them in garish color. Again, the irony is that the sophisticated and affluent collectors of Warhol are comfortable with their pieces because they´re already familiar with the banal originals in their magazines or kitchen cabinets and can feel a bit above the rest of the hoi polloi in appreciating Warhol’s insights.
What is most enduring and valuable is art which most fully reflects our humanity, our energy, our enduring good and less than good nature, our endless struggles. And art as decoration is fine, but as artists, why not do the hard work (and give yourself the freedom) to make it something more?

Story by Calisse Gentry.
Most of the many artists who live in San Miguel came here from other cities, but the painter Javier Garcia is an important exception. Born and raised here in a well-known family, his roots go back two generations. His grandfather, Pedro Barrera, operated a popular pulqueria downtown on the corner of Loreto and Insurgentes for more than twenty years.
Javier is a well-known native son of San Miguel. His vigorous cityscapes are full of movement and energy. “I love to paint outside, on the streets,” he says. “To paint directly, drawing with the brush gives me the freedom I need. I put my feelings directly onto the canvas, developing and changing what I see in front of me.” He has travelled far from San Miguel, painting on the streets of London, Rio de Janeiro, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina and New York City. Unlike many painters, he enjoys the interaction with passersby who watch him paint, and over the years, has made many friends among those who stop to watch. He and musician Gabiel Hernandez recently did a wonderful art and music improvisation to a delighted audience at Galeria Izamal. He enjoys painting wedding celebrations on the spot – creating lasting memories for the new couples.
Why is Javier a painter, and not, say, a lawyer, like his late father? “I decided to be a painter when I was 16. Painting resolves many things in my life – spiritually, intellectually, and when you´re lucky, you can pay the bills with art.”

FEATURED GALERIA IZAMAL ARTIST: CISSY SMITH MARKS
After a lovely May vacation for all the artists, Galeria Izamal resumed full time hours of 11 am to 6:30 pm. We are finally in the “green” period of Covid which is great. Now to have more visitors to San Miguel de Allende would be even greater!
We would like you to know more about our individual artist members. Now there are 7 painters: Juan Ezcurdia, Jeff Ferst, Javier Garcia, Cissy Smith Marks, Lawrence Selevan, Henry Vermillion and Britt Zaist; photographer Ted Davis; and, jeweler Wolfgang Lichter. Juan Ezcurdia also has a line of jewelry at the gallery with his designs.
Cissy Smith Marks will be the first to be featured in this month´s newsletter.
Cissy joined our gallery in February 2018. Cissy, a Cincinnati native who has lived in San Antonio, in Alabama, and in Baltimore as well as in San Miguel, paints vigorous, joyful, and colorful portraits of flowers, cactus, horses and people. She and her architect/painter husband, Paul divide their time between here and Baltimore. She studied at the Maryland Institute of Art, Parsons, and Traphagen, and has done fashion design, rug design, and has taught art, all professionally.
She´s not a newcomer to Mexico – “Our first visit to San Miguel was in 1998”, she said. “We´d heard of the art; we came, bought a house, and have been coming ever since.”
Her gallery bio. reads: “My love of brilliance, vibrancy of color and composition in regards to interplay of negative and positive space best describes the priorities in my work. I have a bold, graphic style using flat planes and minimal modeling. My background in fashion design contribute to the character of my work. I have great respect for the natural form (human body and flowers) and enjoy manipulating them to appear just a bit “left” of real. I hope to entertain the viewer by challenging them to see typical images in a way they normally wouldn´t.”
Cissy and Paul return to San Miguel on the 14th of June – after a very long stay in Batimore due to the lockdown.
She doesn´t work at the gallery but would be delighted to come down to meet you personally. Just give her a call.

As we wrote in our April Newsletter, Galeria Izamal is on vacation just for the month of May. June 1 we reopen daily as usual.
During May, we will be happy to open just for you to give you a private tour complete with a shot of tequila! Just contact one of us.
We physically number 11 at the gallery; but, we have one more member: the late artist/matador John Fulton whose work we still represent.
Henry Vermillion wrote the following article for ATENCION when we had John Fulton´s show in 2001:
“When the American John Fulton died at the age of 65 in Seville in 1998, he left many hundreds of friends and admirers on two continents and in at least three countries: the United States, Spain and Mexico. A painter, bullfighter of talent and determination, a writer and storyteller, his life has a much greater impact on a wide range of people because of what kind of man he was, more than by his other accomplishments.
Without exception, friends of long standing and people who only knew him briefly remember him warmly as an accessible and generous man. He was mentioned by Hemingway, and praised by James Michener, who consulted him for bullfight information in his book “Iberia”. Fulton illustrated two of Michener´s books, including his last, “Miracle in Seville”. He was Peter O´Toole´s stand-in for “Lawrence of Arabia”. San Miguel was both the beginning and forty-one years later the final scene of his bullfighting career.”
As with the art in our gallery, John Fulton´s work is available to be shown in Henry Vermillion´s and Britt Zaist´s home here in San Miguel de Allende. Contact either to see Fulton´s work as well as theirs.

We were the first artist cooperative here and now after 28 years, we are the oldest “gallery” in San Miguel de Allende. But we are an artists´ co-op first. Each artist essentially rents their space and handles the work in it. When there were fewer of us – each artist was obligated to work one day depending on whether they had a full wall (painters) or a half space (jewelers). With 11 of us now, there is a choice of working at the gallery or paying for the work time. It´s fun working there and meeting the people that come in. Especially when they think what you do is “magic” – something they couldn´t do. When actually, it´s something they could.
Many folks stopped doing “art” in grade school when they were told “to get a life- - -and a day job”. The best one I heard while complaining about low sales was “Nobody asked you to do this.”
Over time, we have learned that each of us needs to do different art because in-house competition doesn´t work. For people coming in – that makes it more interesting. Talking to the artist about their work adds more. And dealing direct tops everything off. The gallery makes no money but the artists do. We´re all friends and if we can´t sell our own work then it´s really nice to sell your friend´s.
We´ll be open thru April with reduced hours (due to Covid) all day from 11am – 6:30 pm.
May is the hottest and slowest month here in SMA and we will join those businesses closing just during this month. Again-the beauty of being a co-op is that each of us has a key and can make a presentation whenever we want. So contact each of us directly so we can show you our work.

Over the years (28, to be exact), Galeria Izamal has been the artistic home of many fine painters – not to mention fine jewelers, photographers, and even sculptors. Of the painters who have helped build our history and reputation, Marion Perlet, Peter Levanthal, Ed Osman, Stan Goldberg (of Archie Comics fame), Manuel Lizarraga, Juan Ezcurdia, Jaime Goded, Keith Miller, and Roberto Lopez Fuentevilla have been important. And in our beginning years, we featured work by past Mexican masters like Zuniga, Tamayo, Cuevas and Montenegro.
But we take nothing for granted. We need people (like yourselves) who are actually interested in art, who appreciate its content as well as its beauty, and who love it as we do.
We are 11 artists now: Elena Baca, Juan Carlos Cázares, Ted Davis, Juan Ezcurdia, Jeff Ferst, Javier Garcia, Wolfgang Lichter, Cissy Smith Marks, Lawrence Selevan, Henry Vermillion and Britt Zaist. These are examples of our work- - - each artist is very different from another.
Come in to visit, to see, and take your time. It´s worth it.

PHOTOGRAPHER TED DAVIS, GUESTs AT GALERIA IZAMAL
By Henry Vermillion
Ted Davis, with his new book 'Eternal San Miguel de Allende'. Available in San Miguel only at Galeria Izamal, and online at www.tdgpress.com
Suppose you were the personal photographer for the Sultan of Brunei. (The Sultanate of Brunei is in Malaysia, in case you’ve forgotten.) Your job is to document the private and public life style of the Sultan and his extended family at home and in Disneyland, Paris or wherever they may be diverting themselves. A great job if you can get it, no?
San Miguel photographer Ted Davis had that job for three years, and can tell you many tales about that time of his life.
Galeria Izamal is pleased to feature Ted as a guest artist for the month of February at their new location at Jesus 25 in downtown San Miguel. Daily hours have changed to 11-6:30 pm during the pandemic.
Ted has lived a storied life, and not only as a fine photographer. He is a trained professional actor in film and television with credits in “The West Wing”, “Seinfeld” ,“Married with Children”, and many others. His photographs have toured Europe in exhibitions of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain.
