Mountain Girl, artist, entrepreneur… A Vail Valley resident for over 25 years, Tara Austin Novak is inspired by the beauty of Colorado and her native upstate New York. Deeply influenced by her surroundings, Tara finds artistic inspiration in her yoga practice, snowboarding, hiking, biking and river sports. 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."

Tina Hoffer is a unique woodworker by blending two of natures alluring elements; wood and stone. Tina creates functional, culinary accessories with her Cutting Boards, Gathering Boards, Serving Platters and Dipping Trays that will elevate your daily or special occasions.
Tina meticulously searches through arborists’ wood lots looking for the perfectly flawed, cracked and knot filled hardwoods that other woodworkers pass by because of these deficits. She chooses smaller pieces of wood that will be enhanced with Stone like turquoise, lapis, malachite or chrysocolla, and inlays these into the cracks and voids. She follows the Kintsugi method of Japanese art , where broken and fractured pottery is mended with gold or silver dust, there by restoring the fragments to a functional and more beautiful piece. http://knotswoodandstone.com/

Outstanding Emerging Artist winner goes to Ray Goodluck
Ray Goodluck draws inspiration from animals he grew up around and from his ancestors. From Ray - "Yáh áh tééh. That is greetings in my Native language. I am from the Navajo Nation. My clan is the 'Mud People' and born for the 'One who walks around one'.
Before painting, Ray was an iron worker out of Local 40 in New York City, where he was the first and only Navajo. In April 2019, Ray was working on the new Raiders stadium in Las Vegas, when he was injured on the job site. This injury led to him becoming wheel chair bound, stuck at home frustrated, & having nothing to do but watch TV. In May of the same year his girlfriend saw this frustration and left out a painting set she had got him at Christmas. She hoped it would give him something to focus his time on and ease his frustration while in rehab.
It worked. From this point on, Ray has spent all of his time painting and focusing his attention on making great pieces of art. Ray’s work has already been featured in the “Native American Art” magazine, as well as, a three page feature in “Western Art Collector”.
As a self taught artist, Ray is starting to realized his life's passion.
