Celebrating
20 Years

Welcome to the Sixth Edition of

The Signature Gallery Select!


Hello Signature Gallery Family!
We just hit 20 years since we opened our first little gallery in Scottsdale! It
is so hard to believe but we owe it all to you, our beloved customers. We
have been quite busy in this art world and loving every minute of it. Thank
you, thank you so much for your patronage over the years. We have been
truly blessed and look forward to the next 20 years with all of you!

I know it’s been a little while since we’ve mailed a new catalog, so you’ll
notice some new faces in our galleries, both consultants and artists. It’s
always exciting for us to introduce new artwork, so take a little time to
explore. We encourage you to come into the galleries, meet the new people,
and see the work in person. If you see something you really like, please call
your favorite gallery consultant for more information.

We hope we can help you find the perfect piece to make your summer
complete!

With sincerest gratitude,

Mark Pabst

“Simplifica tu trabajo, tu vida, todo!
Simplify your job, your life, everything!

These words were taught and lived by my dad. Through
him I learned to always appreciate my life and to bring that
message of contentment through my paintings.”

Manuel Avendano’s provocative images of Mexican
life capture both the fiery passions and the gentle
sentiment of his culture. A self-taught artist, Avendano
masterfully uses brush strokes and dramatic lighting to
depict energy and gracefulness of the human figure.



“I hope to transport the viewer to a place of calm, and
relaxation -- to surrender and enjoy simplicity.”

Mojave

Ceramic - Earthenware

Each vessel possesses a distinctly three-dimensional
surface, with no two pieces exhibiting the same
pattern. To create these very special effects, Randy uses
a mix of volcanic ash and metallic oxides, which when
slowly fired render this uniquely crusty appearance.
