Tara’s abstract paintings depict the textures and ever-changing colors in the mountains and waterways of Mother Nature’s landscapes; the silence while snowboarding through a snow covered aspen glade, the calm contemplation sitting by a mountain stream, the brilliant colors on the autumn mountain side, rugged mountain terrain and the variable weather conditions that provide naturally vibrant colors and forms.

Expressionist , large format, local artist, have been showing in CO for a long time. From Soodi "My love for art and painting as an artist like my imagination is as vivid as before. After many years of painting, I feel confident to work with resources and in dimensions that I was not aware of initially. I prefer to work with mixed media: watercolor, pen and ink and I use all kinds of man made materials, papers and photos I have taken in nature and from objects. My art is not limited to a certain style but all who know my work, can recognize my painting by the spirit that it contains."

Holly Olive is a Colorado-based painter. She was born in North Dakota, but has lived in a wide range of landscapes from the Mojave Desert to New England. This variety of landscapes is evident in the paintings she creates today. Inspired by dreams of altered worlds, her paintings embody the movement and color of an altered universe. Using acrylic and alcohol ink, she creates abstract landscapes of a world that is just outside her reach. She casts out her brush as if it were a wizard’s wand in unpredictable strokes to inflict a visual experience that stimulates the mind to ask “What world is this?” She uses a palette knife with an intentional splat to cleave into the fabric of time and space. She works back and forth, layer to layer, until she verges on falling from the precipice to a new and precious universe.
