CAPTRUST’s Phoenix Community Gallery
We believe modern work environments can be places of inspiration. Culturally rich and beautiful art created by talented local artists is integral to the expression of who we are, sparks innovation, and is critical for the economic vitality of our community.
Offering a compelling selection of contemporary works, CAPTRUST’s Phoenix Community Gallery is an exhibition space dedicated to showcasing the original artworks of local established and emerging artists. The Community Gallery is currently not available for visits due to COVID-19. However, there is a virtual tour available, which is detailed below. WHY?The rotating gallery exhibitions will feature a program of thoughtfully selected, visually stimulating art in an effort to support artists, foster dialogue, encourage inquiry, and offer enjoyment for the benefit of our team, clients, and the wider community. We are a proud partner of The Arizona Business Committee for the Arts, a program of Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance, in this collaborative business and arts integration initiative.

BROOKE MOLLA www.brookemolla.com
Brooke Molla is an artist living and working in the low desert of Arizona. Her inspiration comes from the insignificant objects of nature that are mostly found at her feet on sidewalks, spider webs, or garden beds. Also, the quick glimpses of nature viewed through the windows of our houses and cars.
These objects that are found or quickly seen, such as seeds, leaves, parts of insects, and animals, are the clues of an active world of nature that surrounds us. But, in a world that we very rarely see and know very little about. She received her training and MFA from Washington University in St Louis, MO.
Many of her pieces are part of University, Museum, and Private Collections.
This year, her prints have been included in the Permanent Collections of Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates, Janet Turner Museum, and Special Collections at Colorado State University at Boulder, CO. Her work has been published in The Matador Review, The Dialogist, and on the cover of Nature Inspired Anthologies.
"I have much more time to create pieces of art. I am using the extra time to develop woodcuts. In addition to creating lots of work, I am working on an extensive garden. The garden is my service for the wildlife. My garden's goal is food for the humans but mostly food and shelter for the furry, feathered creatures and insects. With the onset of this time of pandemic and quarantine, I have become more introspective and silent in this time of isolation."

NAN WOLLMAN www.wollmanstudios.com
Nan Wollman is an artist, teacher, and preparator. Ms. Wollman has a B.F.A. in ceramics from The University of the Arts, Philadelphia College of Art, and an M.F.A. in sculpture from The University of Texas at San Antonio. She has been exhibiting and winning honors for her work in the U.S. and abroad for several decades.
"During the quarantine, I have spent my time focusing on new artistic work and inspiration. Each of my pieces is unique and bears the distinct trademark style of my aesthetic. Diverse shapes, textures, patterns, and colors are combined to create each work of art. I have been most influenced by abstract art, with strong forms made with organic materials. Contemporary sculpture, as well as ancient works from Africa and the Americas, are particularly influential for their directness and simplicity in integrating form, surface, and function."

IRENE V. MARTINELLI www.artfully-yours.net
Almost everyone has had a dream, no matter how far fetched: fly a plane, swim the English Channel, raise a family, win the Nobel Peace Prize. Sometimes we even manage to fulfill our fantasies; other times, they remain beyond our grasp. Then suddenly, one morning, you wake up, look in the mirror, assess the physical effects of a life well-lived and realize, it's now or never.
I had always loved photography and still pursue it avidly. I turned to ceramics and even opened my own studio. I have written a few family biographies and have begun a memoir. But, it still wasn't enough, and I knew there was no time to waste. What I really wanted to do was to draw, paint, and create. In time, I worked up the courage and joined Tucson's Drawing Studio, where surprisingly enough, I did not fall flat on my face. I took classes, workshops, watched endless tutorials, and began to feel emboldened. With that extra ounce of confidence, I began to loosen up and enjoy the process. It had become less daunting, and I was gradually producing art that I was proud to own. I am neither Picasso nor da Vinci.
I am neither Picasso nor da Vinci. I am me and loving this new adventure. I hope you will enjoy a few of the fruits of my labor. Welcome to my colorful world!
"I had been working and experimenting in various mediums for a few years, and then the Pandemic happened. Suddenly I had all the time in the world, and I took advantage of every second. I honed in on alcohol inks and just loved this free-flowing medium. It's a little like taming a wild stallion, but there are so many surprise endings. This terrible moment in our lives has given me time to grow and improve."

RUBEN URREA MORENO @RubenUMoreno for Facebook and Instagram
Ruben Urrea Moreno is a self-taught artist from Tucson, Arizona, with a background in graphic design, illustration, murals, fabrication, printmaking, and painting. His work has been included in group and solo exhibitions in El Paso, Los Angeles, Juarez, Mexico City, New York City, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, and Tucson. His work is in the permanent collection of the El Paso Museum of Art.
"A heavy and somber feeling came over me recently while I was walking alone in public. There were more people than I've seen around me in recent months. My face was covered. Nobody was making eye contact or saying hello. It was a place that usually felt lively, a place that brought me excitement. You could feel the vibrating energy in the air at times, but not this time. For months now, it's been creeping around in me, and I needed to shed this feeling, put the energy into my artwork and create something new."

THADDEUS CAMP www.thaddeuscamp.com
Born in Connecticut, Thaddeus eventually settled in Tucson, AZ, with his wife, Rachel. Before Tucson, he lived in several scenic places, including Hawaii, Oregon, China, and Wyoming. In addition to being a painter, he teaches academic writing and research at the University of Arizona while raising his daughter, Phoebe.
The range of emotions inspired Thaddeus during the quarantine. His father passed away during the pandemic along with a handful of family friends. The overwhelming grief and near-apocalyptic magnitude of the aggregate suffering shut down any creative urges. These emotions forced him to seek out and rediscover the beauty and wonder laced between the monstrous realities of what we are all still living through.
