The Best Local Artists and Local Art In Flagstaff

Where You Can Find The Best Local Art in Flagstaff

For a unique piece of art, head to The Artists' Gallery. Less than ten minutes from our Flagstaff apartments, it features the work of local artisans. They use their skills to create everything from colorful paintings to ornate wooden bowls. Here are some of the artists you'll discover during your visit:

Lynn Overend 

Lynn Overend became passionate about art at the age of four. But she never took it seriously until she retired as a counselor. Today, Lynn is a watercolor artist who paints a range of subjects, from animals to downtown Flagstaff. Her work hangs in homes and offices across the country and around the world.

Randy Gray

After leaving his job as an x-ray technologist, Randy Gray dedicated his time to making old things new again. He always searches for treasures that can be brought back to life and turned into something new and useful. Randy mainly works with metal and wood. Local art in Flagstaff comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, and Randy always delivers interesting projects. Randy's highlights include barn wood turned into unique gates and 100-year-old train rails made into wine bottle displays.

Karen Myers 

When Karen Myers made mud pies as a child, she had no idea it would evolve into a full-time career as a ceramic artist. She works to convey a feeling of energy, movement, and spirit with every piece. Her unique works include figures, jewelry, and masks.

Denise Edwards

Before working as a metal artist, Denise Edwards created specialty shoes for horses. She has her own blacksmith business, and many of the skills she used to make horseshoes play a key role in her work today. Denise takes inspiration from nature, and every piece is handmade. Are you looking for local art in Flagstaff you can take home? Denise is best known for her forged dogs, which you can purchase at her gallery.

Before shopping at The Artists' Gallery, enjoy a hearty breakfast at a locally-owned restaurant. Finally, if you would like to call Mountain Trail home, please contact us. Our leasing team will gladly show you our apartments in Flagstaff firsthand.
