FEATURED Returning ARTISTS
George Jones
George H. Jones began his career as an artist at a very early age with graphite renderings and painting in watercolors but soon progressed to oils, a medium he has adopted for the last 25 years. Working in large format, Jones’ paintings invoke eccentricity through the use of impressionist shapes and color.through the use of bold and energetic colors.
Linda Backus
Linda is a glassblower who specializes in vessel forms, both traditional and freeform. Her work is distinguished by the use of bright, intense colors and a variety of decorative glass elements.

Linda is a glassblower who specializes in vessel forms, both traditional and freeform. Her work is distinguished by the use of bright, intense colors and a variety of decorative glass elements. These include lampworked cane, frit (crushed glass), murrini (cross-sections of canes), glass threads, and shards. Linda carefully arranges these elements into patterns and designs, which are then picked up on a hot glass bubble, becoming an integral part of the finished piece.
Andree Ferguson

Andree Ferguson works in oils, favoring the alla prima style for the depth and freshness it brings to her work. Though she began painting exclusively in the studio, she soon found the environment too static and the results lacking the vitality she sought. Inspired by her admiration for the Master French Impressionists, Andree realized that to truly capture the light and movement she loved in their work, she needed to paint outdoors—so she embraced plein air painting.
This shift not only invigorated her artistic process but also enhanced her studio work, resulting in paintings that are more colorful and vibrant. Andree is particularly drawn to European subject matter, influenced by her time living in England for six years and, more recently, four years in Germany.

John Hoyt’s burl art emerges from the remnants of ancient forests, where burls, highly figured wood often found at the base of old stumps, carry rich character shaped by time and fungal growth. Captivated by their irregular forms and hidden interiors, John carves each piece intuitively, allowing the natural features to guide the final shape.
His work is influenced by his deep connection to nature, from the flowing motion of Hawaiian surf to the vibrant mushroom and wildflower blooms following Prescott’s monsoon rains. These natural rhythms inspire the organic lines in his art, often evoking water, flowers, or fungi. He gathers materials like Oak, Alligator Juniper, Manzanita, and Black Walnut from forests near his home in Prescott, Arizona. https://johnwhoyt.com/

Tina Hoffer
“Distinguished Excellence“ category award winner! "Elemental Materials"
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.
Peter Freischlag
“Master Artist” award winner for the 2022 season winner! Peter Freischlag's free-flowing style makes his watercolors unique. Peter is a mood painter creating an impression of his subjet matter through the use of bold and energetic colors.

As the owner and craftsman of Product 127, Jordan believes that nothing is more important than ensuring every client and every product receives the attention it deserves. This commitment means that no item, whether a personal creation or a client commission, leaves the shop unless it meets the highest standards of quality and attention to detail.
Marilyn Quigley
“Mixed Media Outstanding Innovator“ award winner!
Marilyn's art is reverse painting on acrylics. Yep, she paints in reverse from the most forward elements of the piece to the furthest back. This unique approach garnered Marilyn our winner from ColoradoArtWeekend.com
You have to see it in person to truly appreciate its magic. Her work is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her home at the base of the Mt. Evans wilderness area in Idaho Springs, Colorado. Painting in a modern impressionist style, Marilyn's art is infused with brilliant light and color. Her use of textured, bold brush strokes magnifies the vivid impressionist style.
Holy Olive
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.
