Two artists work showing at local gallery

Gallery 925, 925 N. Mesquite St. presents two artists, Dina D’ Argo and Vickie Morrow, with an opening on Friday, October 3, 2025.

D’Argo, primarily self-taught, paints on canvas and wood, with many works adorned with recycled glass, horsehair, feathers, and other ephemera. She calls her work “a distinctive ethereal style that is infused with magic yet firmly grounded in nature.”

D’Argo paintings have been featured in the Washington Post, Visionary Art Collective Magazine, Table, Horses In Art, and other publications. Her work has been shown from coast to coast, and is held in public and private collections worldwide.

Morrow is an assemblage artist with a diverse design past. First office design, then swimming pool and landscape design.  She became a fulltime studio artist in 2009 primarily working in handmade tile mosaics for the home, businesses, and the community.  In 2011 she started adding found objects to some of her mosaics. By 2013 most of her gallery work and art work for studio tours became assemblage art.

The term assemblage means “collection of things.” It refers to an art practice created by using everyday objects in an artistic sense. The art materials can be either natural or man-made and are assembled in such a way as to create a new meaningful piece of art. Morrow said her inspiration often comes "during the hunting and gathering of wonderful items for her mass collection."  She also finds great creativity in making “parts” including annealing, shaping and patina copper, unraveling fabric, taking things apart to create repetition of items, rusting fabric and little metal washers and hardware.
