Rachel Houseman        

 

 Rachel Houseman is an artist, visionary, healer and gallery owner.  She knows that she lives in a world where artists are a vital part of the continued creation of alternatives to destruction.  Rachel creates her art from rich experiences, visions and dreams.  Much of Rachel's artwork seeks to reconcile a perceived loss of connection that humans have with the natural world. These paintings and artworks are prayers for healing the disconnect and guiding us to our true center, as beings who strive to sustain beauty, peace, understanding and balance within our world.  Like one of her favorite inspirations, artist, therapist and anthroplogist Ellen Dissyanayake  she  believes that: "Art is not merely an extra 'addition,' but a necessity for human survival."  As an artist and art therapist Rachel has her heart at the center of creating postitive change in the world, one painting or person at a time. She is a graduate of  Goddard College with her BA in Fine Art, and A graduate of Prescott College with a Master's in Art Therapy & Expressive Art Therapy. Rachel understands the healing qualities that art has as well as the need for artists to take action in their community in an effort to heal from the social, spiritual, and environmental trials of the modern world; as in the words of another influence of hers, NM native Martin Pretchel,  "It will be creative thought that saves us from ourselves." In other words, it is creativity and art that will save the world...and it is up to us to create! Rachel loves to paint the desert landscape, human figures that inspire contemplation of the human potential and also enjoys the meditative quality of stained glass crafting and beading jewelry with stones that hold healing qualities.  She also works through the medium of art and healing with artists in the community promoting original vision and cultural understanding through events, lectures, healing art and rituals as well as a diverse variety of informed, experiential, and hands on classes. www.rachelhouseman.com

Richard Olson 

Richard Olson is a self-taught artist who has lived in Denver, North Carolina and New Mexico. He is currently working out of Buffalo, New York. Richard's journey in art came after a radical shift in his career and lifestyle. He is influeced by the great Surrealist & Symbolist Artists as well as Folk Art and Raw Art. His artwork has been shown in many fine galleries a crossed the United States and he is widely collected for his unique shading, texture, color and light.

"Art for me is about speaking a truth, not as dogma, but as one might dream of being a star or a tree in another life. It is about feeling the texture of poetry in the celestial chorus of grass and cloud. It is also about praying, when in great need, for life and feeling. Folk art, per my definition, is an expression broadly defined to include surrealism and abstract art as these artistic genres, like geniis greater in stature than any individual artist, embracing the passion and spirit of folk art that was itself a jinn of place, communal space and states of mind. Into this embrace I join my creative journey, beginning with self-expression and then leaving self behind."

Stevon Lucero

Stevon Lucero is a vibrant, unique, and valuable member of the Denver Community. He has lived and worked in Denver since 1976 when he moved his small family from Laramie, Wyoming to ‘the big city.' With a unique vision and voice, he quickly became an active participant in the growing Denver art scene. He helped to create the dynamic Latino arts organization, CHAC, which has anchored and facilitated the exciting revitalization of Santa Fe Drive.
His art and his personality have inspired generations of artists. He has lovingly, generously provided his experience and advice to dozens and dozens of young Creatives looking for a mentor, and not just in his field of visual art. He has been a beacon and an inspiration to young writers, musicians and actors, as well. Articulate and thoughtful, he helps both young and old people to learn to express their inner artist; to appreciate the magic and beauty that exists in any act of creation; to recognize the vital importance that every voice brings to the community table. He is loved and respected by so many people in this community. His art, his philosophies, and his compassion have made him an asset to everyone in this city, regardless of race or status.
He has contributed his passion and love, via his art, to Denver and the world for nearly his entire adult life. His paintings have been presented to world leaders as gestures of friendship and unity. In my own mind, he is something of a landmark; a human entity which is more than the sum of his parts. He represents an iconic belief in the powers of the human imagination and a resounding declaration of our ability to achieve our dreams.   By Tana Lucero 

 

    

 



 

Paula grew up in an artistic, musical family, surrounded by both. Her father, George Kosanovic, has an MFA. Her mother was an elementary school art teacher.  Creativity was always encouraged in the home that she grew up in.  Many weekends her family would go plein air painting in the Seattle suburbs.  The best family vacations were painting on Puget Sound, the Oregon coast or  Southern Utah.  "I am blessed to have grown up in this environment." While attending University of Utah, the artist's free time was spent skiing, camping & hiking in southern Utah and N. Arizona. She fell in love with the southwest.  The path of academia took her to San Juan College of Nursing, Farmington, New Mexico. I graduated in 1992 as an RN, and she was on the Dean's List. Sketching, drawing and painting have always been a big part of my life.  After  graduation, she continued yearly summer painting trips with family & friends on the Oregon coast, returning to this thing that she loves. She began painting workshops in 2003.  "If I had to label myself with a style,  it would be plein air expressionism/sometimes colorist, but I don't want to limit myself.  Although I can match the local color when painting, sometimes it's fun not to." When beginning a painting, she decides what it is that she loves about the location. "I look for a few simple, interesting shapes, the light and shadow patterns, colors and textures. Like music, I strive to make each note beautiful, each spot of color delicious."

She is currently living in Prescott, AZ where she spends time between raising her 2 children and illustrating books, making art, hiking and appreciating nature. She has been widely collected for her wood-burning art that mixes pigments and grain textures to make her artistic statement. "I create original woodworks that tell the story of everyday life and I try to set the scene of events that exist with or without notice. Some of the works are just backgrounds that people travel through. Others are capturing the daily routine in a person’s life. The images are from my past and present, places I have lived, visited, or are currently experiencing. I want the viewer to imagine they are able to see what lies in the lives of others.  I create woodworks that are fun, inspiring, and original. I add found objects to some of my works that better tell the story. The end result is a glimpse into the world others may experience."

 Meg Perec

 

 

 Meg is an Artist / Master Print Maker / NurseGrand Rapids, MI"I grew up on a hobbie farm with chickens, sheep, horses, ponies, rabbits, geese, dogs and cats and was allowed to have every animal I wanted as long as I did my chores.  The time and labor required in keeping horses comes to mind when I reflect on my choice of printmaking as an area of study and work as an aritst. The process requires both physical and mental labor, and a lot of ground work.  Also, many of the momeories and stories I use as a source of material when creating images go back to the time when my life was dedicated to the care of animals. I almost always draw from memory and imagination and dreams are a source.  Agiculture, death and rebirth, harvest and cycles are all themes in my work.  Fossil imagry represents the death of thoughts, ideas and stories. I intend to tell my stoires using this process of creating and combining printed images."
