Bird Tales by Sara-Lou Klein with guest artist Zoa Ace showing New Works
Sara-Lou Klein “Onward” 24” x 36”, mixed media on wood panel

Included in this exhibition, Sara-Lou Klein has transformed some of her experiences into whimsical tales. From birds & owls to humans, scenarios are created to lift the heart. Sometimes, though, her art takes on more serious undertones, such as dealing with the death of loved ones. The media of colored pencils, acrylic paint, pens, oil sticks, and collage material on wood panels and upcycled wood are used to explore and experiment with these imaginary tales.

She is inviting the community to bring a box of tampons, pads, mini-pads, or other personal hygiene products, to the gallery, in exchange for a die-cut vinyl sticker (featuring her art). The collected items will be donated to The Action Center of Jefferson County – who assists those facing hardship and homelessness.

Zoa Ace “Memory Lane”

Zoa’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Denver Art Museum, the Vance Kirkland Museum, The El Pomar Foundation (Colorado Springs), Kaiser Permanente, Children’s Hospital and the Maven Hotel (downtown Denver). Her oil paintings, watercolors, and collages are also included in numerous private collections across the United States and Europe. Her paintings typically depict people and animals, often in theatrical settings, as if they are actors on a stage. Symbols of chance, luck, hope, and mystery may be present within her scenes.

November 15, 2024 – December 1, 2024
Opening Reception: Friday, November 15, 6:00-9:00 p.m.
Candace Shepard     Bitter Sweet
“Visitation” Mushroom spore prints, acrylic medium, ink, cold wax on black arches paper
Kay Galvan     Entanglements
“Clasp” Graphite and charcoal on paper, 22″ x 30″ and “An Entanglement”, hand-dyed silk bojagi (Korean patchwork), 45″ x 154″

Entanglements is an installation of fiber art and drawings assembled to describe the idea of our ever-present situation. Whether an inner encounter with our ego, or outer enmeshment with other beings, our surroundings or the planet; entanglements describe our existence. We are a network of connections we have created.  Some seem to trap us while others suggest possibility – they all tell us something about ourselves.

In Memorium

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of one of our amazing artists, Tom Robertson.

Tom had recently rejoined us after a long hiatus. This is a tragic loss of a talented member, dear friend, and incredible artist. You will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for your kindness and camaraderie.

Katherine Johnson.    Free Falling
“Coming Apart Together”, 30″H x 24″W, Acrylic on canvas,

At this time of grief and turmoil, acceptance is my guide in opening to free-falling in my work.  I go wherever the process takes me, adding and subtracting, sometimes scrubbing off or following the direction of mistakes.  And moving through what doesn’t work can be an act of compassion.   I keep on until I sense that it may be a place to stop.  Whatever happens is a gift.

Sara-Lou Klein     small
“Sunrise” 2” x 1.5”, colored pencils & graphite on up-cycled wood.

Sara-Lou Klein used her last name as a jumping off point to create this small body of artwork (Klein means small in German). The common thread amongst them is that they were made mostly from salvaged pieces of wood from her father’s woodworking workshop. The media of colored pencils, acrylic paint, watercolor, ink, and collage material were used to experiment with a variety of whimsical images.

She is inviting the community to bring a box of tampons, pads, mini-pads, or other personal hygiene products, to the gallery, in exchange for a die-cut vinyl sticker (featuring her art). The collected items will be donated to The Action Center of Jefferson County – who assists those facing hardship and homelessness.

John Horner   New Tangents: Explorations of Bas relief and its Implications

The Idea of bas relief had long since been of interest to myself, inspired by the bas reliefs in the Louve and the British museum bas relief panels of Assyrian and Egyptian art  and strangely enough German and French expressionism. As a painter and print maker it is for me a small step from relief printing to bas relief, so this idea was never far in the background of the artist thinking, in this experimental series I am  directly is carving  into commercial  bass wood veneered panels, the  idea being to explore the possibilities of this technique, as bas relief and by extension as relief print and painting on the panels after that, this  series and can be seen in many ways as continuation of my previous exploration of the of the fauna of Colorado as seen in earlier series though in different mediums.

Eric Havelock-Bailie     Goodbye, Hello

By juxtaposing two bodies of work, one completed and one emerging, I’m hoping to describe visually the transition from one world to another, going from 15 years off the grid to a place I only knew vaguely which is now my home. A real city. Nothing more and hopefully nothing less. And the title is a play on a well-known song (to be continued)…

Opening Reception: Friday, October 4, 6-9 PM
Stephen Shugart     Time and Memory
Sculpture is constructed of Birch square dowel rods, octagonal porch lamp cover mounted on its side painted white inside within a rectangular constructions of the rods, RGB LED light bulb, hardware. Light bulb appears hovering in space inside the
“Reliquary for an Endangered Planet”

In this series of abstract, geometric sculptures, Stephen Shugart reflects on the nature of and passage of time, from its theoretical and philosophical concepts to its intimate human counterpart, memory, whether actual or imagined, collective or individual.  Shugart continues to explore the “intermateriality” of the materials he uses to create his structures–investigating the interaction and relationship, or fusion between different materials as an artwork is created, discovering the way various materials such as common or exotic woods, metal fasteners, springs, fabric, wire, found objects and light come together to create meaning, texture and aesthetic form.

Travis Vermilye and Katie Caron: Collections
Artwork inspire by tangles of plant life and objects washed ashore along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Donegal, Ireland
“Collection 009”

Inspired by the tangles of plant life and objects washed ashore along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and Donegal, Ireland, “Collections” explores the beauty found in unexpected places and the lasting imprint we leave on the world around us. Through a series of digitally crafted compositions, digital animations, and 3D printed sculptures, this exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the intricate beauty of coastal ecosystems and the unintended consequences of our presence.
