The Churchill County Museum is highlighting a new art exhibit titled “The Gravity of Landscapes,” which will open Jan. 14, with an artist reception scheduled for Jan. 17 from 3 to 5 p.m.
“The Gravity of Landscapes” was created by Tamami Tokutake, a self-taught artist based in Reno. This show celebrates the Great Basin’s beauty through pastels—many of her art pieces center on landscapes, particularly in northern Nevada. Tokutake said, “I love painting the beauty of northern Nevada; there’s an indescribable absoluteness. Standing still, surrounded by nature, I am trying to find that special something that makes paintings ring to your soul and mine.”
Tokutake is affiliated with the Red Rock Pastel Society of Nevada, the Latimer Art Club, and the Artists Co-op Gallery of Reno. She has won many awards, including first place for pastels and the People’s Choice Award at the 2022 Latimer Art Club 15th annual Miniature Art Show.
The museum will host this show from January through April 2026 and invites the community to view the new art exhibit. The Nevada Arts Council supports this project.
