T.anjuli Gallery, 7 North Holladay Drive

“Billy Lutz, owner of the gallery, is a magnificent artist. His works transcend pure aesthetics and delve into the abstract realm of the metaphysical to evoke an intense spiritual and intellectual response. In the true spirit of his paintings, Lutz eclipses his physical limitations through his fathomless ardor for philosophy. Afflicted with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary degenerative eye disease, Lutz continues expressing his brilliant theories through poignantly conceptual art.”–Amy Kiefer, freelance Gilbert District reporter.

Seaside Coffee House, 3 N. Holladay Drive
