There are few places that claim more beautiful landscape than Sedona, Arizona. Mike Koopsen captures the soul-enriching essence of Sedona and the surrounding area. He balances composition with interlocking synergy, exciting both the visual and the emotional senses and transforming scenes into art. Mike has always been passionate about the natural world and the beauty that surrounds us. It is one of the reasons he moved to Sedona. His desire to capture the spirit of the moment and preserve it for others to enjoy has never diminished. Mike began taking photographs more than 25 years ago when he experimented with black and white film to capture images of favorite horses. Success in that initial

I am living my dream! That's what photographer Jody Miller says of her work and life. Jody sums up her "brand" as being able to find the spirit of the horse and turn it into a photo "that keeps on giving." As an artist, Jody hopes that viewers of her pieces will feel the same emotions she feels in the presence of these majestic animals: freedom, beauty, passion, inspiration. "It is my goal that you feel connected through these photographs and that you discover the sense of spirit that awaits you in your own life. This is my brand." Come see Jody's work at the Sedona Artist Market! And the eyes of those two Indian ponies Darken with kindness. They have come gladly out of the willows To welcom

Mary Ann Winiger felt there was more to life than what she had been experiencing. So, in 1973, her search for meaning and fulfillment took her to India, where she spent the next 25 years with spiritual teacher Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (later Osho). Mary Ann says she "touched some amazing spaces" within herself under his tutelage, but after he died she found herself still searching. After studying with several other teachers, Mary Ann had a Human Design reading that ended her inner search with a meaningful discovery: the realization that she needed to stop initiating and wait to respond. And, she says, this changed everything. Since then, Mary Ann has traveled to several countries to give Huma

The moon was round, shining bright as two javelinas ran fast last night. They were caught in my headlights, racing on the road to get out of sight. I'm glad they didn't turn to fight, their sprinting bodies gave me a fright. We went on our ways into the night. The javelinas and me we'll both be all right.

Sir Thomas More was once described by a contemporary as “A man of marvelous mirth and pastimes…a man for all seasons.” Artist Gary Golden admits to an infectious sense of humor and says he enjoys several pastimes. He’s a water colorist who specializes in southwest scenes and portraits of Native Americans, to which he often adds glitter, turquoise and Sedona red sand. He also enjoys gardening (he makes note cards from pictures of his plants), landscaping, sketching, photography, and pottery. Golden is also a self-taught jewelry maker and creates stunning necklaces from magnesite, silver, copper and jasper. He’s truly an artist—and a man—for all seasons.

Genna Cohen's love for the arts began at an early age. Her father was an industrial arts teacher at inner city schools in St. Louis. He taught her about his passion for creating art every chance they were together. Wood was his favorite medium, and it's Genna's too. It was Genna's father's dream for her to explore her creative side, and they had many talks about what tools to use and what projects to make. Although he passed away last fall, Genna says his spirit stays with her. Genna's husband and four children are a constant source of inspiration, and she says their unwavering support is beautiful beyond words. Genna loves Arizona and takes to the trails often. She has great love for travel
