Alane Holsteen    100 Years of Solace: a collaboration with Paralee Witt
“Ephemere,” Encaustic, pigment, and ink on panel, 24”x24”

In this exhibition of new paintings, Alane Holsteen is joined by her great-grandmother Paralee Witt, who died 72 years ago. Paralee began painting while living in a dugout, raising 10 children, and painting on scraps of fabric or paper when she could, to ultimately painting large canvases at college in her 80’s. Though Alane and Paralee’s paintings are separated by 100 years, the two explore landscape and nature, side by side, finding solace through hard times, and recreating hope.

Jason McKinsey     This American Dream

This solo exhibition by photographer and Edge Gallery member Jason McKinsey explores liminal spaces in the context of the deterioration of the American Dream. Join Jason on April 5 at 12:30 while he speaks to the project.

Experiments in Photography

A celebration of play, embracing the unexpected, and trying something new within the photography media. EDGE Gallery encourages artwork that pushes the boundaries of photography to express limitless possibilities. We encourage artwork that uses non-traditional photo methods such as experimental techniques, alternative use of photo equipment, or layered mixed-media elements. Both 2D and 3D artwork are accepted.

This is a non-juried open community show – no online submissions required.  EDGE Gallery aims to provide a platform for photographers of the Denver Metro Area – both professional and emerging artists – to show their work in participation with Month of Photography, 2025. All artwork must include some element of the photography process.

Opening Reception: Friday, February 14, 6-9 PM

Randy Cummings    How Did This Happen?

Well intentioned people everywhere are asking this question. No rational explanation, no massive protest march will ever be able to square how a misanthrope was able to seduce a nation. Greed and stupidity seem to ground the ascension of the man who would be king. Artists have always been the first line of defense in resisting oppression.  Think of Max Beckman who was relentlessly pursued across Europe by fascist ideologues; or Kathe Kolwitz who was censured for her outspoken condemnation of Nazi racism. The list of visual artists who were prescribed as outlaws is a disconsolate fact of history.  My new series of paintings defer to the imagination as an antidote to ideological deception.

Naropa University Visual Art Students    Immediacy
Work by Johnni Congleton

Immediacy is the quality of being immediate, or the feeling that something is real and important. It can be verbal or nonverbal, and can be used in communication, teaching, or describing a feeling. 

Naropa University is honored to be invited to show Naropa student works at the Edge Gallery for a third year!  This year Naropa Gallery Director Charmain Schuh asked the students to develop a theme for this year’s exhibition: Immediacy (the emotions of the moment are all we know). Entering 2025 with changes being developed daily – the present – the now moment – is important to recognize and be aware.

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.

Jennifer Pettus    Begin Again

Jennifer Pettus and Gail Wagner    All of the Above

“I believe that if it were left to artists to choose their own labels, most would choose none.” -Ben Shahn

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.
