Art on Trout Road this weekend
It's been hectic after a return from an incredible trip to Italy and busy preparations for the annual Art on Trout Road this weekend. Bill Wilson has so graciously hosted this November art display and sale for over 20 years in his home and ceramic studio on Trout Road that has stunning views of the San Juan mountain range. I feel special to be a part of it all and so enjoy talking with our guests and sharing the company of my fellow artists.
I have always lived along the Rocky Mountains throughout western Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. I am thrilled to still be able to live next to the San Juan Mountains on the western slope of Colorado where I have a wealth of beautiful imagery to choose from. When not painting, I spend time with my husband, 2 Jack Russells and enjoying my gardening and backyard wildlife.
Creativity and fine arts has been a driving force in my life since childhood. I earned a Bachelors in Fine Arts from Colorado State University and since then have taken numerous workshops under professional artists including Jill Carver, Leah Gusterson and Mike Simpson.

Out of the West ~ Opening Reception
The opening reception for the "Out of the West" exhibit was a great success. The 3 artists represented in the exhibit include, as seen in photo above, Barbara Churchley, Dan Deuter and myself. I enjoyed the great conversations, meeting new friends and seeing old friends again. The opening of a reception is so good for getting out there with the public, talking art, and getting a perspective from the viewers on new pieces that had not yet seen the light of day in an open forum. At the same time, it is rather exhausting and I wouldn't want to do it every week! The show continues through March at Around the Corner Gallery in Montrose Colorado.
