The Mix Takes Center Stage at Niza Knoll Gallery

Jerry Scezney The Neighborhood Porto Portugal

Niza Knoll Gallery presents the first of two shows from The Mix, a co-op of artists located in the back of the gallery at 915 Santa Fe Drive. A vibrant array of art by Nancy Enyart, Victoria Eubanks, Pat Lickly and Jerry Scezney will be on view in the main space, from October 10–November 16, 2025, featuring playful ceramics and luminous encaustic works to striking photography and dynamic mixed media. With a wide range of styles and subjects, there’s something to spark the imagination and delight every eye. The public is invited to the Artist Reception on Friday, October 17, 5–8 p.m. during the Third Friday on Santa Fe Art Walk, and to visit during regular business hours as listed below.

Nancy Enyart started as a potter and later moved into hand-building her ceramic pieces. Animals continue to be a main focus of her art, especially the undomesticated kind, providing a portal into a different world. As in this show, she often finds elephants wandering into her work, sometimes landing themselves in unusual situations.

Nancy Enyart Big and Little

Victoria Eubanks is a visual artist who combines encaustic, printmaking, photography, cold wax and pixels in a variety of ways. She is also a highly regarded art educator who brings what is happening in her studio into her classrooms and conversely, the classroom activity shows up in her studio. “My art is always about connections—head, heart, hand and viewer.” She explains, “I harvest memories, daydreams, current events; I like a sense of place. I lean towards imperfection. I want the inevitable humanness of the of the marks I make, to be recognized as such. The connection of shared sensibilities is the reason I create.”

Artist Pat Lickly often works with natural elements and inanimate objects, but for this show she shifts her subject matter to feathered friends and felines, creating a range of delightful characters in a variety of 2- and 3-D mediums.
