Anna Kogler
“I was born and raised in beautiful Austria. At the Age of 21 I came to the United States of America where I started a new Life! In the early 1980’s I took a few Art Classes painting Landscapes in Oil. For 26 Years I owned a little gift shop. I fell in Love with the flow Process, the Movement and Colors! A few Month ago I decided to retire and dedicate the Rest of my Life to Art! TODAY: A Canvas + some Paint = Pure Joy and Happiness in my Life!”

Mark Eirhart
A Contemporary Abstract artist. He attended Southern Illinois University where he studied Photography and Fine Art. Mark works primarily with acrylic paints and collage/mixed media.
His artworks are constructed in layers allowing some elements to be revealed and others remain hidden. The paintings reveal worlds that might trigger questions, bring back memories or spark a story.
Emma Wetherbee
Emma is a visual artist who primarily works in oil paint as well as multimedia pieces combining pencil, ink, and watercolor. She finds endless inspiration in nature and is constantly seeking long golden-hour light. Her recent works have drawn inspiration from hoodoo rock formations in Bryce Canyon, The Grand Canyon and specimens from local rock shops as well as gem and mineral shows. Past collections include cosmic figures in surreal galactic landscapes.
Her past shows include a four-year solo retrospective at Earlham College as well as the opening at Petals and Pages in Denver.
Emily Burr
“Originally from Maine, now based in Denver, Colorado. I find myself being so in the moment while drawing and painting my surroundings that I’ve lost all track of time. Making art transports me into a different world, and I hope to share that world with others.”
Kat Perdue
“My go to art style incorporates a mix of treasures from 18th century antiques to modern day postcards and everything in between as a découpage back drop to hand painted acrylics to create an artwork to keep the eye moving deep in to each piece. Most my inspiration comes from travel and collecting along the way. I started my journey in art as far back as I can remember and have worked in some artistic field or another all my life. Art is life to me”
Leslie Anne Bitgood
“The day I turned on a torch for the first time, melted glass onto a mandrel and made my first wonky beads. I knew at that point I was addicted!”

Sandy Guinn
I am a contemporary surrealist artist based in Denver Colorado. My practice is fueled by the need to discover – to touch the untouchable. Through imagery on surfaces I can transform dark into light, invisible into visible and death into life.
I earned my BFA from Drake University and my MA from Goddard. I’m a full time professor at Community College of Denver. I exhibit at surreal galleries in Denver and Des Moines.
Kristi Czajkowski
Graduate of School of Botanical Art and Illustration at Denver Botanic Gardens. “I am fascinated by the juxtaposition of art and science. When drawing botanical art there is a good deal of research before pencil hits paper.”
Elyse Galloway
Elyse Galloway's extraordinary life experiences as a retired U.S. Army Helicopter Pilot have deeply influenced her art. After serving for over 17 years and several deployments, Elyse now lives near Denver, Colorado, where she dedicates herself to being a full-time artist.
Elyse's medium of choice is airbrush or soft pastel, as they allow her to achieve a level of realistic detail that is truly awe-inspiring. Her art is a reflection of her commitment to excellence and her ability to bring her subjects to life with vibrant colors and stunning compositions.
Dea Webb
Dea creates whimsical silver jewelry.
Judy Niewald
“I am a self-taught artist, whose desire for art developed at an early age. I am a native to Colorado but, find myself painting a lot of coastal paintings, out of my love for the ocean. I have worked in the picture framing industry for over 40 years, first at a local manufacturer and then at local frame shops. I eventually bought my own framing business and successfully ran it from 2010-2024. After selling it, I am now semi-retired and devoting much of my time to my passion for art.”
Reno Unger
“I am a retired Navy Commander, then a retired university professor in Berks Co., Pennsylvania. I get to travel a bit in my newly-discovered free time and love nothing more than visiting an exotic (to me) location with time on my hands to spend with my camera.”
Leo Sailas
“Fascinating. Brilliant. Creative. Foolish. We humans are a reflection of these qualities and a plethora of others. My work seeks to isolate and examine the human condition, as well as provide the viewer with a thought provoking experience into ones inner self. I find that this is best done by exposing the most intimate nature Of humanity, and in contrast the carnal qualities within us all.”
Dorothy Lessem
“I started specializing in miniature sized canvasses in recent years. I really enjoy the ability to express myself more quickly and move on to a new subject that I may have never done before. Art is my "therapy," enabling me to focus, grow, and express my inner joy of life.” She is also our President.
Ron Isaacson
Filling multiple roles in his creative life, artist, sculptor and wordsmith Ron Isaacson has most recently sculpted creatures that inhabit a world of his own making. An early adopter of the Creative Re-Use concept, Ron sculpts bird-like beings and their environments from reclaimed materials, even writing their avian backstories in Amazar Tales.
Rolina Carter
"Stones, carefully selected for their beautiful color, texture or patterns, set in handcrafted designs of sterling silver, creating one of a kind pieces of jewelry. For people who don't want to follow the crowd." She is also our Gallery Manager.
Katie Trapp
“I am originally from New Orleans, Louisiana and attended New Orleans Center for Creative Arts where I studied Visual Arts. I always found myself interested in Science as well, and so I went on to receive a degree in Microbiology from Mississippi State University. Since then, I've found my calling is teaching. Teaching has given me the opportunity to combine both of my passions, Science and Art, to students around the world.”
Peter and Jennifer Bennett
Peter, of Wolf + Raven Studios, channels the fearless emotion of Abstract Expressionism, inspired by the structured beauty of the Southwest, painting with colors that explore deep, unconscious harmony. Meanwhile, Jen, the artist behind The Autistic Cat, joyfully merges clocks, cats, and a windfall of creativity, using mixed media, sublimation, and digital art to weave snippets of Peter’s color fields into eclectic new compositions.
