Marina Beadleston
For me painting, drawing, and photography are always influencing each other. A second language emerges allowing me the joy of inner expression that I can no longer hold at bay.
For me, making art is a way of perceiving life, deepening and enriching my experiences while transforming them. the excitement is in the mistry of the process.

Bill Gruenberg
I use discarded pieces of wood and other materials for my sculptures because while they were once cherished, they are no longer wanted but I see value in them. My working with junk and scraps satisfies my need to work rapidly, intuitively, and prolifically. Refuse is selected for its appearance rather than its former function. Besides rounding up raw materials from sidewalks and construction sites I cajole bits and pieces from friends who have access to wood. Some of this wood was from a trade firewood for “Art”wood.
My compositions owe much to my appreciation of found objects and recycled materials. These materials are employed as jumping off points, manipulated and redeployed into diverse three dimensional works, materials and meanings freshly recast.
Buddhist philosophy is about the way things flow. When you create art, you make a mark that becomes the seed for the next one. A choice is made as to which path to take.
In college i studied law but decided on the world of investing - a career better suited to my sense on autonomy and mobility. I draw similar conclusions regarding my art. Rather than follow a medium or subject religiously, I prefer to move from one style and discipline to the next.

DeDe Brinkman
As a small child I carried a small Brownie Camera. In my 20’s the idea of a nikon and all the possible lens was my passion.In the early 70’s I studied at the Centre of the Eye in the basement of the Hotel Jerome working in the dark room. In the mid 70’s I became a location scout for film companies that came to Colorado. I segued into becoming a casting director, shot portraits and video’s auditioning people, real people, not actors.
In 1976 I Created Aspen Production Services. A few years ago I was introduced to I-phone photography. Now I am exploring numerous processes for presenting my photography which include, resin, photo transfers, encaustic as well as mixed media .I’ve shown at the Aspen Chapel, Art Base, Red Brick Center for the Arts.

Kathy Honea
"Untamed" perfectly describes the way my mind works. I merely follow along, while striving for better methods to manifest what I see in my mind’s eye.
Craftsmanship is important to me so I am continually learning new techniques and honing old skills in an attempt to keep up with my over active imagination.
I don’t run deep. I make art for the sheer fun of it. There is never an angst ridden moment when I’m messing around in my studio making something. What I would wish to convey, if anything, is have a good time, laugh often.

Lisa Pendrys
Lisa Pendrys has lived in the southwest for 25 years, spending the past 5 in the Roaring Fork Valley. A BFA in Photographic Design, studying under the late Wiley Sanderson, with a minor in Graphic Design & Painting, cemented her love of capturing images & creating interpretations of living creatures, places & things. Whether expressing her artistic interpretations through painting or photography, design has been her passion.
This series was inspired by ancient sands collected in the wilderness outside Moab, Utah. The natural beauty and organic colors of the land where dinosaurs roamed are incorporated into each piece. Minimalist design elements highlight the combination of collected & sifted sands with natural, organic powder color pigments.
In addition to painting, Lisa is an avid photographer. During the past year while staying close to home and sheltering in place, she has been collecting hundreds of images that will be part off a future series.

Sally Cole
Originally from Ohio, with a stop in Minneapolis, I moved to Aspen in 1967. Hiking and horseback riding in the mountains intensified my interest in the ever-changing light and beauty around me. I started carrying a camera with me, and several false starts later, with trepidation, I entered the world of photography workshops. David Hiser had amazing patience. I gained confidence and started to branch out taking workshops from Sam Abell, Eddie Soloway, Robert Glenn Ketchum, and Jerry Courvoisier. I realized that my love of gardening gave me a readymade canvas for the camera.
The next step was experimenting with the scanner, results quite different than an actual photograph. Simultaneously the worl of metal was introduced to me. Combining the two was challenging and stimulating so this is my latest presentation.

Brenda English Manes
Born in Beaumont, Texas, Brenda earned a BS from the University of Houston and worked towards a Masters Degree in Sculpture. She also studied enameling, jewelry fabrication and casting at the Glassell School of Art, Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and Photography at the International Center for Photography in New York. She raised her three children in Houston before her relocation to New York in 1996 and then in 2014, settled in the Roaring Fork Valley of Colorado.
Growing up at the southern tip of the Big Thicket National Preserve in eastern Texas, surrounded by the steamy atmosphere of swamps and backyards filled with pecan, fig and pomegranate trees, made an indelible influence on her aesthetics. She began working in watercolor in her early twenties and also while living in Houston she focused on creating sterling art jewelry and learning the enameling process. After moving to Tribeca in New York, her focus shifted to street and still life photography. Now living in Colorado with her husband, Contemporary painter Paul Manes, she is rekindling her love of all of the processes with which she has worked.

Lisa Singer
Making art has always been a major part of Lisa’s life. Most of her inspirations comes from visually processing her experiences in life. Recently the spiral has come to the forefront of her creativity as a beautiful shape to explore and a symbol of the spiral that life is.
During the past 15 years Lisa has mostly been creating with acrylic paint on canvas or wood panels. But she draws her experience from working in sculpture, printing, textiles, silver and gold smithing and other forms of visual self-expression. Singer holds degrees in the Fine Arts and Psychology from the University of Colorado and the Evergreen State College in Washington State. In addition to extensive training at the Anderson Ranch in Snowmass, Colorado, Lisa has studied with individual artists in New York, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Raised in Colorado, Lisa now lives in the Roaring Fork Valley. She works in Carbondale at the Third Street Center and at her home studio. She shows her work in her home gallery and in solo and group shows locally and nationally
Nicole Gogolak
Nicole Nagel-Gogolak is an Artist, Educator and Illustrator who has spent almost 20 years in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Shortly after graduating from the University Michigan with an BFA in painting her love of the mountains drew her to Anderson Ranch Arts Center. At Anderson Ranch she spent two years in the artist residency program before going on to get a Masters Degree in Fiber at Cranbrook Academy of Art. Upon completing her degree, she immediately returned to the valley. She has continued to teach classes and exhibit her work locally ever since.
Her most recent work is inspired by a studio residency this past summer at Creighton Farms in Middleburg, Virginia. During her time there she worked with a local woodworker to collect fallen wood from the lush and historic surrounding landscape. Wether she is reacting to the growth rings of ancient trees or creating her own hybridized version. Nicole's work embodies a collaboration between artist and nature that visually represents the merging of authentic organic contour lines with artistic interpretation. It is in this interstitial place where wood grain and intention fuse that Nicole finds sublime and mesmerizing beauty.
Nicole is currently living in Henderson Nevada on a two year hiatus from Aspen. When she is not in her studio creating, she can be found out in the wilderness hiking and skiing, or venturing to remote places in the desert with her two children.

Summers Moore
Summers Moore is an artist who searches for truth and meaning in both her photography and fine art. Within her photography Summers expose the brilliance in nature; human nature, natural light, landscapes, & her living subjects. Exploring the technique of photography Summers looks to capture a moment that can conjure a memory or invoke an emotion. Within the lens of her camera, she seeks to capture a truth in her subjects. Whether through the personalities of her portraitures or the characteristics cast by light and shadow. Painting is a new found artistic expression for summers where form and movement are still present mimicking her motion blur photography. A survey of textures and mediums with collage, graphite, and acrylic are where she finds her daily inspirations. The pure freedom of the blank canvas allows for Summers to release into the art and have an honest tactile dialogue with her medium.
As the abstract painters who came before, Summers is still seeking a truth - the truth of her hand. What will appear with each gesture, brush stroke or freeform sketch is unknown. These exercises happen within stance and emotion revealing a rawness to investigating texture, color, scale, and new relationships.
