"Treasures of the West": Photography by Rocky LaRose

Public Reception on Sunday, October 18 from 11am-1pm

Join us at Madaras Gallery for Treasures of the West, a photography exhibition by award-winning photographer Kathleen “Rocky” LaRose.

Rocky’s love of travel, adventure, and wildlife has taken her around the world, always with her camera by her side. Treasures of the West celebrates the remarkable wildlife and landscapes of the Western U.S., from majestic bison in Yellowstone and bears in Alaska to the wildlife closer to home. Her Tucson surroundings provide endless inspiration, including rabbits, bobcats, birds, and other animals of the Sonoran Desert.

Rocky’s path to full-time photography is equally remarkable. In 2009, she became the first woman in University of Arizona history to serve as Director of Athletics for a combined men’s and women’s intercollegiate program. Today, she brings that same focus and dedication to photography.

"Inspiration": The 2026 Annual Show

Saturday, November 14 from 11am-1pm

“When I remain open to people, ideas, and my environment, inspiration comes flooding in.”
— Diana Madaras

More than three decades into her acclaimed artistic career, Diana Madaras turns her attention to the force that has animated her work from the beginning: inspiration—the moment when observation becomes possibility, and the ordinary demands to be painted.

In her 2026 show, Madaras invites viewers into the creative process of an artist whose eye has been sharpened by more than three decades of painting. The exhibition will unveil 25 new original paintings, sparked by moments both quiet and surprising: sunlit steps along a hillside, a flower arrangement from her husband, or an owl taking flight from the top of a saguaro.
