LewAllen Galleries announces its representation of new paintings by lyrical color abstract painter Bette Ridgeway, presented in a major solo exhibition, Chromatic Luminosity, opening October 16, 2026, and continuing through November 14, 2026. Artist receptions will take place on Friday, October 16, 2026, 5–7 PM, and during Santa Fe’s Last Friday Art Walk on October 30, 2026, 5–7 PM.

Awash with brilliant color and graceful, evanescent movements through space, Ridgeway’s most recent works convey an ongoing exploration and expanding connection with Romanticism, fusing a deep response to nature with profoundly felt personal emotions.
