With 2020 being not only the centennial of suffrage, but also an important time for women in contemporary history, LeQuire Gallery is dedicating the entire year with a roster of stellar exhibitions #celebratingwomen. We are honored to work with a most impressive group of master artists, and look forward to your visit (by appointment).
Our space is large and can accommodate multiple exhibitions. On view now are the following: Photographer Dean Dixon’s “Beauty As I See It” — exquisite black and white portraits of many remarkable women, Susie Campion’s exciting botanical collection of unique digital compositions on canvas created from original watercolors, and Lori Putnam’s impressionistic portraits. Our 2020 feature exhibit is also now open — Alan LeQuire's 'Monumental Women’ — recognition of women through sculpture, over the last 40 years.

WOMEN IN MUSIC
A new series of paintings from Marti Jones Dixon
It’s hard for me (and many other contemporary women) to fathom not having the right to vote. It’s been 100 years since the passing of the law that allows us to have an equal voice in the governance of our cities, states and country. It is a milestone to celebrate, even though the woman’s struggle continues.
Growing up in the 50’s and 60’s in a family with three sisters, a mother and father, I never noticed there were limitations on females in social surroundings. My sisters and I were always encouraged to shoot for the moon—nothing was beyond us—and we had unending support from our parents to carry out our dreams. I have looked at the world through this window of endless opportunities for both women and men, never really making a distinction in sex.
And now, I’ve had a career in the field of music for nearly 50 years. In looking back through the years of performing and navigating the ins and outs of the music biz, I realize there have been moments when women have not been given an equal voice. As much as I don’t want to believe it, there are still issues of inequality.
Through these paintings, I want to celebrate the strength of contemporary women who show up every day to create a better world through music. Some of these women are well-known and some are not, some play and compose and some don’t, some make sure everything runs smoothly from behind the scenes where wisdom and expertise are paramount. All of them have contributed beautifully important notes to the development of music.
I hope to add to this collection for many years to come.

Sculptor Alan LeQuire has spent the majority of his career honoring women by making portraits. A walk through his Nashville gallery and studio reveals a vast body of work, miniature to monumental in scale, in bronze, plaster and terra cotta.
