The nature of New Mexico’s hidden center

Roswell Artist-in-Residence Afton Love is seen here in her studio on the RAiR compound handling one of her clay pieces that she recently finished.
“I have most of the art pieces done,” she said. “All I am working on now is my lecture.” Love’s art embraces nature and her geographic surroundings. Her art evolved in New Mexico during her residency and she is diving deep into the nature of landscape and environment in her upcoming exhibit.
Her lecture takes place at the Roswell Museum and Art Center, 1011 N. Richardson Ave., Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. More information about the artist and her work will be appearing in the Sunday edition of the Roswell Daily Record’s Vision section on Sept. 9. (Christina Stock Photo)
