About
The Little Bear Artist Partnership is a program to help local artists develop their work and connect to the community by giving a platform to showcase their work. Our vision at Little Bear is “Love People. Use Coffee”. For us that means we place priority on seeing, caring for, and serving people to the best of our ability while serving the best coffee we can. We use our artist partnerships as an extension of that vision. Not only do we want to showcase amazing art, but we want to show art to foster and create human connections, start conversations, and offer artists an opportunity to grow.

Stuart Wygant
“Summer Tables”; artwork by Stuart Wygant.
Stuart is a painter from Albuquerque, New Mexico. He grew up spending summer days with his grandmother, Nancy Wygant, an accomplished painter, who taught Stuart his first lessons in perspective and color theory. Stuart recently returned to his artistic pursuits and taught himself oil painting to express his vision of the world around him. “Summer Tables” is a collection of still-life works focused on moments in time that often go by unnoticed. Stuart seeks to display the significance of simple household scenes, often in moments of quickly changing light, to demonstrate beauty in unexpected places.

Lana Scholtz
Lana Scholtz plays with perception in her vivid abstract paintings. Scholtz’s practice is informed by speculations of different optical experiences, an absurd sense of humor and a general, overwhelming sense of wonder and awe. Structured and immersive, her compositions translate sensory experiences into novel imaginal spaces. Lana recently graduated from UNM with an MFA in painting and drawing.
