Bobby Beals Presents... Wild Clay
A New Exhibition by Santa Fe Artist Tracy Hollister
Santa Fe, NM – June 6, 2025
Bobby Beals Presents… Wild Clay, an inspiring new exhibition featuring the ceramic works of Santa Fe-based artist Tracy Hollister. The event will take place on June 6, 2025, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, showcasing new works available for viewing and purchase.
Hollister’s ceramic art is a reflection of balance—refined yet raw, elegant yet crude, functional yet contemplative. With Wild Clay, she invites audiences to experience the energy, care, and love poured into each piece, creating work that communicates and sparks inspiration, life, and authenticity. “I create ceramic art that is meant to be inspiring and uplifting,” says Hollister.
“My creations are physical expressions reflecting the environment around me and my diverse, far-reaching interests. As with many artists before me, I’m deeply inspired and influenced by the elemental landscapes of New Mexico and the creative energy of its towns like Santa Fe, Taos, and Abiquiu. This is reflected in my use of earthy colors, dynamic shapes, and contrasting, evocative textures like high gloss. I love creating pieces that balance the masculine and feminine, and everything from traditional Japanese ceramic techniques and artistry to the use of wild-sourced materials can show up in my work depending on where my mind is. I merely go with the flow and see where the clay, energy, and creativity take me.”
Through Wild Clay, Hollister embraces the natural unpredictability of her medium, allowing the material to guide her in a process that is both instinctual and deeply intentional. Each piece serves as a bridge between tradition and innovation, offering an invitation to explore the beauty of imperfection and the transformative nature of ceramics.
Join Bobby Beals Presents… at the Horseshoe Gallery at Bishop’s Lodge in Santa Fe, New Mexico for an evening of artistic discovery and connection, where Hollister’s work will be celebrated in an immersive gallery setting.
