Enjoying the Climb: Summit Studios Nowhere Near its Peak Yet
Boldly turning regular folks into rock stars and movie stars and sometimes even hanging them from stars, Darren Mahuron has photographically transformed dozens of local bands, icons, rebels, families, well-knowns and unknowns into surreal characters that look like still shots from boundary-breaking, counterculture movies.
“I don’t consider myself a photographer first,” Mahuron says. “I use the [...]
The 4th Annual Block Party, Greeley, August 27
What About Pluto? among 43 bands set to perform at the annual 16th Street Block Party
It’s that time again! The 4th annual 16th Street Block Party is happening this Friday, August 27th in Greeley, Colorado. Always bigger and better than the year before, this year’s line-up is no exception. With 5 stages set up and [...]
Shift: Deconstructing the Lincoln Center
Shift is a two-woman installation show at the Fort Collins Lincoln Center, featuring Amy Reckley and yours truly. The premise of the show is that the installations change over the course of the three-week exhibit. The way we’re working is very much site-specific: Amy and I are both responding to the context of immanent demolition [...]
Master of Fine Arts Exhibition at CSU
I can’t let an MFA show come and go without a word or two. And this one’s been up for a month so it’s about time, right? Arguably these exhibits present the best new talent of our region, poised to be launched into the greater Art World. I won’t argue with that: the work on [...]
May and Wade at Hixon, Warm at Hatton
Barbara Wade and Aki May at Hixon Interiors:
I went last Wednesday’s opening at Hixon Interiors to see Barbara Wade’s work, but was really pleased to discover Aki May too. If you’ve taken Printmaking at CSU you’ve likely met Barbara, a shy and softspoken white-haired lady who creates powerful and brooding portraits and cityscapes. If you’re [...]

Happy Easter
An earlier post “Making Time for Creativity” inspired my aunt, Terry Knapp (a neonatal nurse in Dallas) to write in: “Right now I am doing some “fauxberge” eggs, bejewelled, pearled and other themes….mardi gras beads for one…. I hope to sell these to help a colleague with cancer. It’s all relative. You are driven to [...]
Integral Elements at Loveland Museum/Gallery
I got around to seeing Integral Elements at the Loveland Museum/Gallery a little on the late end. I want to recommend this show while it’s still up (it runs through April 11) so in the interest of posting this posthaste, I’ll keep the analysis brief and hit the highlights.
This small group show appears loosely organized [...]
One Pick and One Pan
Efflorescence, at the Clara Hatton Gallery is my top recommendation for new shows this month. I attended the opening Thursday… but you never really see the art at an opening, so I went back today to really take some time with it. This show of three graduate students from different concentrations reflects the CSU Art [...]
Catalyst, Continued: An Interview with Amy Yoes
In last week’s post I gave you my impressions of New York artist Amy Yoes‘ installation Catalyst at the CSU Art Museum. Ms. Yoes graciously agreed to be interviewed via email, and that interview follows below.
SV: To what degree was Catalyst planned before you visited the site; and to what degree was the form of [...]
