“OFF-GRID, Women of the Mesa: Figurative Oil Paintings of Empowered Women” by Beverly Branch opens Thursday, May 23 in Step Up Gallery at Mesa Public Library.Nearly 40 large oil paintings of women and their families, who choose to live unconnected to the power grid on the mesa west of Pilar and Taos, will be on display until June 25. Artist Beverly Branch, a compatriot mesa resident, has created a visual story through masterful portraiture and figurative oils on canvas that should not be missed as the first stop for an exhibit moving on to two Taos galleries in July. The paintings will be accompanied by written stories encapsulating the freedom, joy, and hard work of living close to the land without powerlines.
