Nolan Tredway     Monsters in Business Suits

Monsters might be all around us. They might be in disguise, hiding in plain sight. Traditionally monsters have been transgressors of societal norms, but often they are those who embrace them the most.

Heather Hauptman    Pounce

She sat quietly minding her own business. Frowns pile up around her, sticking to each other as they become caught in a net of negative notions.  Smiles slip through, sinuous and silky. She notices with little expression. Maybe she is planning, watching, waiting to pounce. Or simply to slink off into the shadows…where she belongs, they’d say.

Harita Patel   Thresholds of Transformation
“A Lotus Grows Beyond This Pond”

New work by South Asian artist Harita Patel. These pieces seamlessly blend relief printmaking and painting. Patel incorporates original woodblock and linoleum prints on Japanese rice paper, layered with acrylics, oils and freehand drawings. Inspired by the timeless imagery of the lotus and waterlily as symbols of resilience and transformation, the works present vibrant, multidimensional compositions that evoke the edges of humane experience. The interplay of mediums reflects a harmony between the old and new, inviting viewers to rediscover the familiar in fresh, unexpected forms. Rooted in experimentation, these works celebrate the power of embracing change at its thresholds.

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.

“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)…
