Jason McKinsey Artist’s Talk May 4, 12:30 pm
Wynne Reynolds Elemental Allegory
This installation, along with its accompanying shadow boxes, is my visualization of our myths of creation and cessation.
As important to life as fire, air, water, and earth, are the stories we tell ourselves and others to give us comfort in the dark.
We burn
We breath
We drink
We grow
We shine.
Jason McKinsey In This Way We Grow
The photography and mixed media of In This Way We Grow were Jason’s touchstones while navigating an emotionally turbulent landscape over the past year.

Alane HolsteenSilent Spring
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
Nolan TredwayEgregore Ecologies
Egregore Ecologies is an interactive piece about connecting hearts to affect physical change in one’s environment. In contrast to Richard Dawkins’ and William S. Burroughs’ pathological descriptions of communication as viruses, I want to reframe our exchanges as nutrients metabolized in a complex system. The piece asks you to include your own heart in the process, closing the circuit and enacting the change in another. The change demands participation and choice, making the resulting art a reflection of dialogue, not passive observation.
Heather HauptmanFine Lines and Linens
The mindless task of washing is done. Her hands double the clean white pillow cases, before putting them away. In this quiet space between tasks something flickers on in her. Taking a deep breath in, she lets a smile creep across her teeth. As she arches one brow, and whispers to herself. Now, it’s my turn.

Walls Works by Naropa University Visual Arts Students
Walls is an exhibition of artwork created by students from Naropa University, delving into the profound concept of walls. The exhibition prompts viewers to contemplate the significance of walls through the eyes of the artists and how these structures either facilitate or hinder our connection with the world. The exploration extends beyond physical barriers, inviting consideration of self-imposed limitations erected to shield individuals.

New Growth represents a continuation of my interest in making mixed media compositions using botanical forms as source material. In 2023, my increased fondness for oil paint resulted in it becoming a dominant medium in 6 of the show’s 10 pieces.
Lydia Ferrell Here Comes A Regular
“Garage Sale” 48″ x 60″
This show is a collection of older works that I haven’t been able to show anywhere in Denver until now. Some of the paintings are smaller works from residencies I’ve done over the years but I’ve never had a chance to actually put in a show. My goal with this show is to also see how much I’ve grown since making these. The show is titled “Here Comes A Regular” after the song by The Replacements, because to me some old paintings of mine feel like old friends that I see around now and then. The song also makes me happy I’m still sober.
Harita PatelStitched into Belief
Harita Patel’s new series of meditative works combine needlework techniques, printmaking, and poetry to convey the subtle but real relationships between human thought, belief, possibility, and action.
If each thread is a thought, then each stitch is a belief, We create the conditions that liberate and bind us.
Jennifer Pettus Nearly There
“Tease” (detail) Mixed media 78” x 60” x 4.5”
In this latest work, I continue my exploration of the body’s shifting relationship to the biological and sociological elements that define it. Taking inspiration from the narrative strength of theatrical costumes and props, as well as the use of timeworn materials, I use improvisation as a transformative practice. More specifically, I hope to make viewers aware of their physical reaction to materials and how that might be connected to their assumptions about art and craft. By walking the line between the two I create objects that evade explanation and expand perceptions of beauty and value.
