Alissa Davies
Alissa Davies is an intuitive, process-oriented painter who creates abstract acrylic and mixed media paintings. She is known for her colorful, emotion-filled work that is playful and interesting, as well as deep-felt and honest. First and foremost, Davies art-making is a non-verbal expression of her internal landscape and her paintings go through many layers and iterations before composition, color relationships and movement considerations come into play to finish a piece.
Barbara O'Brien
Barbara's work is inspired by textures, both person-made and those occurring naturally in the environment. She uses traditional metalsmithing techniques, such as soldering, forming and forging, stone setting and engraving to form texturally complex pieces of jewelry. She also likes to experiment with new techniques. Breaking traditional rules often allows her to discover wonderful new bits to add to her jewelry creations.
Arturo Garcia
With years using a pallet knife as his preferred art tool, Garcia has developed a unique painting style and it becomes evident as you get acquainted with his work. The strokes are fearless, but carefully chosen to reflect value and the natural shades of life giving a three-dimensional effect by using a relief technique. The harmonious mixture of warm and cool colors is what makes Garcia’s work unique and distinctive. Garcia’s love for wildlife gives him a natural drive to create beautiful and exquisite pieces where his contemporary style brings his subjects to life, thus bringing a feeling of fulfillment to the naked eye.
S. Brian Berkun
S. Brian Berkun is a largely self-taught photographer. He began working primarily with black & white silver-gelatin prints and later hand-colored prints. He transitioned to working with digital equipment, producing pigment ink prints, which allowed him to continue to work with color as an additional element of his art. Berkun's photography has been exhibited nationally in juried gallery exhibitions and he has received many awards and it is held in numerous private collections. Recently his work was included in the Photographer's Forum Annual Best of Photography.
Jamie Zerr-Lockwood
James has a great love for animals and nature and likes to portray them in many different situations within her artwork. Cats in sweaters, tricky ravens, to elephants preserving their environment on their backs, there are no limits to her whimsical creations. Bringing attention to the precious wildlife that we take for granted has been a focus for Jamie for the past couple of years.
She believes that humans and nature could work together in harmony if given the chance.
Sara Oliman
Shara Oliman is a mixed-media collage artist based in the Denver metropolitan area, whose work explores the sacred dialogue between nature, spirituality, and personal transformation. Guided by intuition and meditative practice, she creates painterly compositions from meticulously selected fragments of book pages, magazine and fiber paper. Each piece is a layered meditation—an invitation to introspection, emotional resonance, and renewed perspective.
Jini Kim Veenker
Jini Kim Veenker is a printmaker originally from Tulsa, OK. Veenker received her Master of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and picked up printmaking around 2018. Her work draws inspiration from her heritage and personal spirituality.
Krista Lavonas
Drawing inspiration from the geological formations of the Earth and the beautiful mountain country surrounding her, Krista's creative process commences with the selection of gemstones or fossils. Her jewelry predominantly features sterling silver, elegantly paired with these distinctive stones, resulting in pieces that exude both elegance and ruggedness. With each meticulously hand fabricated piece, Krista seeks to capture the essence of the Earth's natural beauty, inviting wearers to adorn themselves with a tangible connection to the minerals and metals that inspire her.
Miriam Dubinsky
Miriam Dubinsky
Miriam Dubinsky is a painter and printmaker utilizing screen printing as well as several types of water based media in her art practice. Recently she has been working on a new body of hand cut, screen printed and painted paper collages inspired by florals and lively color combinations. Dubinsky is very inspired by nature and the flora and fauna of where she currently lives, visiting weekly the Denver Botanical Gardens and other local nature spots within Colorado. Dubinsky hopes to engage viewers of all backgrounds with her lively, joyful and vibrant color palettes.

Sometime around 2001, in need of a hobby, Shane enrolled in a community center pottery program, quickly fell in love with the clay, read up, and learned as much as possible about it, took as many workshops as possible, and even started working for a potter in exchange for studio space. As such, he put himself through a somewhat makeshift modern equivalent of an apprenticeship. Any claims to being self-taught, however, would be unfair to the many and varied people and resources from whom he acquired his knowledge.

Emily uses traditional metalsmithing techniques to create striking, minimalist pieces in sterling silver, gold, and precious stones. Her aesthetic has evolved in heavily embossed and oxidized forms as she explores the depth and intimacy of surface dynamics. They are a loving expression of classic metalsmithing and adornment, each embedded with the energy of a fine forging technique. Emily often integrates the beauty of faceted gemstones and the elegant luster of gold accents. Each piece is made by hand from start to finish, one at a time.

Robin Beattie’s work is a riot of color. She translates moments, feelings, and people into into bold compositions.

Robin Beattie’s work is a riot of color. She translates moments, feelings, and people into into bold compositions. Robin is drawn to the tactile nature of textiles and the endless ways they can be transformed—cut, folded, layered, sewn—into something entirely new. She feels that the ultimate compliment is for a viewer to be so drawn into a piece that they want to touch its surface, to feel the art literally as well as figuratively. Though rooted in quilting traditions, Robin Beattie’s work is typically not placed on a bed. It can be worn as shirts and hoodies, or admired on your walls. Robin’s pieces are vibrant, chaotic, sometimes humorous, and always human.
