Julie Leidel is a  Roycroft Renaissance Master Artisan inspired by The Arts & Crafts  Movement (1880-1920), the Art Nouveau Movement, and the WPA era of the  1930s. Julie's artwork evokes a feeling of yesteryear, and her revivalist  approach calls upon the spirit of the Arts &Crafts Movement - at  its center was the principle that the head, heart, and hand should  ideally work as one.

Brian has created a unique take on bas relief with Carved Canvas.  Through graphic design and virtual sculpting, he transforms a two dimensional image to 3D, then carves that image on a wood "canvas" with a CNC Router.  Each carving is then torch fired, hand painted, and distressed to create beautiful wall art.  More of his work can be found at www.carvedcanvas.com.

 Garcia’s work captures the spirit of his subject through his vibrant use of color and texture. The impressionist landscape attributes and minimal use of perspective elements allows the viewer to focus directly on the subject, allowing an appreciation for the use of movement implied by his palette knives and creating a personal wildlife encounter.  www.arturogarciafineart.com/

Amy's work is inspired by her hobby as a Colorado beekeeper in Gilpin county. She electroforms individual specimens of honeycomb into unique pendants, rings and earrings. 

Additional mixed media work utilizes the beeswax encaustic method, where she harvests native wildflowers and plants of the Rocky mountains, dries them and incorporates them into organic, whimsical designs.

Stefan Geissbuhler works in acrylic and prefers to paint on hardboard. The rigidity of the hardboard provides a stable, durable surface that supports his technique of painting with stiff spackle knives and brayers. He textures the hardboard using an acrylic gel medium. He then does an underpainting and starts layering the paints by applying and then scraping the paint off to reveal the colors below. This gives the painting texture and visual interest.

Karen looks at metal as a beautifully malleable material—a medium that can be cast, formed, folded, and etched in a variety of ways. During the finishing process, she delights in exploring color and texture—from red-hued copper patinas to oxidized silver. She specializes in jewelry that is decorated with precious and semi-precious stones. Her jewelry embraces the fine artisan craft of silversmithing using various techniques and plays with mixing silver with gold. The final piece has an organic classic feel.
