The Studio by WILLIAM STOEHR

EXHIBITION INFORMATION

Starting with a vague expression and an uncertain context, William Stoehr hopes to provoke viewers into completing his portraits with their own mental image or narrative and then possibly overlay their own feelings.

"We are attracted to faces. If I fill the canvas with a big face then there is little room for leading context. The size and closely cropped image creates an elevated sense of intimacy. Searching for meaning, viewers may turn inward. I create differing facial plains and facial features that are just slightly out of alignment. I frequently give each side of the face a slightly different expression. I use iridescent paints that change with lighting and point of view causing shifting patterns of light. I like to slightly alter the facial shading relative to the line work."

"Witnessing these small changes might make these images appear more real as if half remembered memories, after images and prior experiences were affecting our perception?"

AUGUST 7 - SEPTEMBER 8

PATTI LEE BECKER

EXHIBITION INFORMATION

Pattie Lee Becker's work resides in the complex space that connects humans with their physical and psychological landscape. Personal stories are transformed into imaginative invention. Color and pattern narrate; images conjure both the familiar and the fantastic.

Raised in the great Midwest, Pattie Lee spent her childhood surrounded by prairie and open sky. After graduating from Rhode Island School of Design, she moved her studio to Brooklyn, NY, where she spent a decade developing her work before relocating to the Rocky Mountains. Pattie Lee holds an MFA from Columbia University's School of the Arts and has been awarded numerous residencies and fellowships.

SEPTEMBER 11 - OCTOBER 6

MARCO PINO, AMY JOHNSON, ROBIN SMITH

Reception Sept. 13

EXHIBITION INFORMATION

This exhibition is focused on landscapes, soundscapes and escapes. With each artist presenting their individual “scape”. It is the meeting of the known and the unknown, the seen and the unseen. It necessitates a comfort with ambiguity. A vision of both simplicity and possibility.

Amy Johnson is a conceptually oriented, 3D artist who finds inspiration from post-minimalism. She has a BA in Policy and Social Values, a minor in Peace and Conflict Studies, a diploma in Humanitarian Assistance, and next spring will receive an MFA in Metalsmithing from Colorado State University. Her interests lie in connecting her love of art making to her interest in social justice issues.

Marco Pino spent his childhood in northern Chile. After earning an architectural degree from Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria in Chile and a Master of Architecture from the University of Cincinnati, he has worked in the design and architecture fields in Chile, New York, Cincinnati, Boulder and Denver.

Robin Smith completed her BA in English at Colorado College (with studies in France and Ireland) on a prestigious scholarship from the Boettcher Foundation. She later returned to Ireland to study at the Burren College of Art where she graduated from the post-baccalaureate program in studio art. She is currently pursuing a Masters of Fine Art at the Laguna College of Art and Design. Robin has been an artist in residence at the Burren College of Art, the Watershed Research Station (a division of the Science Museum of Minnesota), the Eastern Frontier Educational Foundation in Maine, Hypatia-in-the-Woods, and Spiro Arts in Park City, Utah.
