Join us during the month of January to view the work of our newest gallery member, accomplished printmaker and painter, Johanna Mueller. Johanna's beautiful, intricate hand-colored engraved prints and collages are based on her personal mythology, drawn from her own narrative as well as cultural and historical references, pattern, design and the history of printmaking.
We're also featuring well-known Denver ceramic artist Cristine Boyd, who has been designing, making and teaching ceramics since 1989. Her work represents her interest in pattern and rhythm and her stylized, abstracted expression of human and animal form portray playful and strong emotion.
Cristine's work is formed in hand-made bisque press molds and decorated with the ancient sgrafitto technique - that is, the image on the surface is hand carved through a thin layer of colored clay which imparts a wonderful tactile texture to each piece. Cristine will welcome visitors at the 3rd Friday Artist's Reception (January 20).
In addition to the Gallery exhibition, tour three floors of artists' studios and visit with our many local studio artists who work in a variety of mediums, including painting, photography and ceramics.
