# Event Details - **Event Name**: SUMMER IN THE GARDEN: The Medium is the Metaphor with Shelley Horton-Trippe - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am – Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: A monthly class exploring mixed media and technique to find your personal visual language.About this EventTHE MEDIUM IS THE METAPHOR is a monthly class in which we will experiment, off the cuff, with a toolbox of watercolor, pastel, charcoal, collage, oil stick and more — inviting students to pursue their own personal visual language. Olive Rush spent a lifetime expirimenting with different media to develop her unique and recognized style. "Rush dabbled so broadly in different styles and mediums — and so excelled in seemingly every one she tried — that it can be tough to pinpoint a signature mode in reviewing her body of work. But her most identifiable hallmarks emerged after she moved to Santa Fe, when her works began to be characterized by soft figuration, gently sloping forms, and a spare, increasingly modernist sensibility." - Molly Boyle for the Santa Fe New Mexican Students are encouraged to bring in works that are incomplete, or begin new works in class. Shelley will read poetry to inspire your heart and mind as you work. This class is about personal discovery and finding your own unique vision.PARTICIPATION: This class is offered on the fourth Saturday of every month, April through August. Each class stands alone so you can join for one or more sessions — however Shelley's instruction builds on itself, so you may also sign up for all 5 sessions in the series. REGISTRATION: Pre-registration for each class is required. Registrations are non-transferrable to another date, but may be transferred to another person (contact lizzie@oliverush.org, and provide the new student's contact information). No refunds are provided within 5 days of class date. COST: $90.00 per session with a $20.00 materials fee to be collected at the start of class.MATERIALS: Students will bring their own 11 x 14 sketchpad. Mixed media supplies will be provided with materials fee, and students may bring their own additional supplies if they wish. TEACHER: After graduate school, Shelley Horton Trippe moved to Paris to study video with Nam June Paik, and exhibited in the first International Women in the Arts exhibition at UNESCO. Then, in 1978, she settled in Northern New Mexico to continue her interdisciplinary practice. Horton-Trippe has exhibited in the Salon D'Autumn-Paris, The Edinburgh Festival, The Site Santa fe Biennial and many other national and international exhibitions. She has had residencies at John Ruskin's home, Brantwood Northern England, Residencies in Malta, France, Scotland and the Harwood Museum in Taos. She has been awarded 5 National Endowment for the Arts Grants, 4 New Mexico Arts grants, a NM Women's grant, 2 Witter Bynner Grants in Poetry, and a Gottlieb and Rauschenberg grant. She has also taught for over 40 years. She began the Children's Art Studio School in Santa Fe in 1981 and went on to teach at the College of Santa Fe, UNM and The Institute of American Indian Art. The art of Shelley Horton Trippe, whether it be paintings, drawings, prints or installation is most allied with the interdisciplinary workings of the Feminist movement of the 1970’s and her work is often reexamining history to expose it’s inconsistencies. Questioning the dominant motive is at the root of the inquiry and exploring the innate duality of existence: rich/poor, dark/light, Woman/Man remains at the core. Locally, her work can be seen in the New Mexico State Art Collection-State Capital Roundhouse, or through the galleries, LewAllen, G2 Gallery, and PHIL Space in Santa Fe. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/cc6a0220-29a8-11f1-acb3-35efa69682d2-rimg-w640-h740-dc171614-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/santa-fe/summer-in-the-garden-the-medium-is-the-metaphor-with-shelley-horton-trippe/100001985835362025 - **Event Categories**: Art, Workshops, Exhibitions, fine-arts, literary-art, Festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 97.88, max: 97.88, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Santa Fe - **state**: NM - **country**: United States - **location**: Olive Rush Historic Artist Home & Garden - **lat**: 35.68134670000001 - **long**: -105.9279086 - **full address**: Olive Rush Historic Artist Home & Garden, 630 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SUMMER IN THE GARDEN: The Medium is the Metaphor with Shelley Horton-Trippe - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/11702d7c9503bc8d7b7b9b8e3cdf41aef252142aa867a66cc5e0977d6bc72613-rimg-w1200-h1600-dcaaa58f-gmir.jpg?v=1774594040 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SUMMER IN THE GARDEN: The Medium is the Metaphor with Shelley Horton-Trippe being held? - **A:** SUMMER IN THE GARDEN: The Medium is the Metaphor with Shelley Horton-Trippe takes place on Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 22 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 pm at Olive Rush Historic Artist Home & Garden, 630 Canyon Road, Santa Fe, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for SUMMER IN THE GARDEN: The Medium is the Metaphor with Shelley Horton-Trippe? - **A:** Tickets for SUMMER IN THE GARDEN: The Medium is the Metaphor with Shelley Horton-Trippe are priced at USD 98 per person.
