The Questa Public Library is proud to present David Zimmerman’s photography display intitled. “A Life Lived with Intention, Creativity, and Love”.

This special glimpse of David’s world will be on display from December 2^nd, through January 31^st, 2025. The displays opening celebration will be Saturday, December 7th from 2-4pm. Refreshments will be served.

In the quiet heart of Northern New Mexico lies the small town of Questa, a place where the rugged beauty of the land meets the resilience of those who call it home. Here, nestled among the mountains and under the vast, ever-changing skies, David Zimmerman has crafted a life that is as much about creating as it is about capturing. Since 1980, his metal and sculpture shop has been a place where raw materials are transformed into art, a reflection of the enduring spirit of this unique corner of the world.

But David’s artistry doesn’t end with metal and fire. Armed with a camera and an eye attuned to the subtleties of light and landscape, he has documented a life rich in experience and connection. The photographs collected in this book are more than mere images; they are glimpses into the adventures shared with those closest to him—his family and friends. These moments, captured in the vast wilderness or in the intimate settings of home, tell a story of a man who sees the world not just as it is, but as it feels.

Through his lens, David invites us to explore the beauty and simplicity of the everyday, to find wonder in the landscapes that surround us, and to appreciate the bonds that make life meaningful. This collection is a testament to a life lived with intention, creativity, and love—an ongoing adventure that unfolds with each new journey and every cherished moment.

Welcome to the world of David Zimmerman, where every photograph is a memory, and every memory is a work of art.

Come celebrate with David, December 7th from 2-4pm at the Questa Public Library. 6 ½ Municipal Park Rd, Questa, NM.

Nature Scope: Works by Betsy Irwin and Shera Maher

While their styles and mediums vary widely, both Shera’s inked spirit creatures and Betsy’s gourd work, reflect their nature-focused spirituality.

“I create contemporary art from the oldest plant intentionally grown by humans – gourds,” comments Betsy Irwin. It’s basically woodworking with an advantage – nature provides the artisan a rudimentary vessel to refine.”

“My intention was to create a nature themed story of pen and ink illustrations hinting at the connectedness of the animal world and the unseen realm, with animals acting as messengers between dimensions,” comments Shera Maher.

The opening will be held on February 10^th from 2 to 4 pm at the Questa Public Library, 61/2 Municipal Park Rd, Questa. Music provided by Tim Perigo. Refreshments will be served. The show runs through March, 2024.
