Hamilton-Pennell

Growing up in Oregon, I was drawn to the rugged beauty of the coast and the vast expanse of the Oregon high desert. Bicycle adventures and escape expeditions from school left me with a reservoir of mental images that still inspire my work. Here in Colorado, I am never far from the mountains that whisper about the next painting, waiting just up the trail.I continue to be drawn to the work of artists, particularly abstract expressionists from the 1950’s, who dedicated their efforts to communicating simply through their pure, painterly marks on the canvas. Like them, I continue to look for ways to connect with my viewers. Without irony, and without falling back on references to our popular culture, I seek ways for my particular, personal touch to speak to those who look at my paintings.

Alix Evendorff

As an artist, I believe that true meaning cannot be conveyed by the outer appearance of things, but must be recognized on a deeper level of awareness. Above all, I consider myself a colorist. Colors have a great emotional impact for me, and they are always my starting point. The non-objective forms and textures I use appear in some mysterious way that is very personal. I deal with abstractions that hint at spirituality and lush colors that create shifting illusions. For me art represents the timelessness of the human spirit, a never-ending spiraling thread, winding through all ages and cultures, expressing love and passion through the use of color, texture and form. I like to watch people view my work, and invariably each sees something different and entirely unique to their own experience. I make visible what, without me, might never be seen.

Shawn Shea

With an art career beginning with a "Jon Gnagy Learn To Draw" set given by his mother as a Christmas gift when he was 6, Shawn's creativity has been flowing and growing for many years. A lengthy career as an illustrator found his paintings reproduced in Communication Arts Annuals and hanging at the NY Society of Illustrators Annual Shows. Shawn believes the viewer "completes" the painting. The artist makes their statement and ends that conversation with a pause. The viewer then picks up the exchange with their own interpretations, impressions, definitions. And when one hangs their new prize in its "space" - the journey from emotion to insight to conception, through the application of graphite and paint, is finally at its end.
