We invite you to experience ‘Captured Impressions’, a compelling new art exhibition by Becka Jahelka.
—
This body of work finds its genesis in the quiet encounters of the natural world. Becka’s eye is seized by color, translating ephemeral impressions onto paper where stark mountain vistas and quaking aspen trees shift in perpetual dialogue with the seasons, the light, and the hours of the day. Walking the same path across time reveals a profound fluency in subtle transformations, born from her long summer and fall stays in Pitkin, Colorado.
—
Becka works primarily as a watercolor batik painter and printmaker, mastering a layered medium where watercolor and wax alternate on Japanese paper to protect and unveil vibrant depths before the wax is ironed away. Through printmaking methods spanning reduction blocks, collagraphs, drypoints, monoprints, and monotypes, she explores the structural interplay of abstract composition, line, and shape.

We invite you to experience ‘Home on the Strange’, a compelling new art exhibition by Katie Briggs.
—
This body of work lives in the space between the familiar and the unforeseen. Katie is inspired by the everyday cowboy, living a life that could just as easily belong to another century. Into that world, she slips traces of the present, adding subtle humor and a bit of mischief that keeps each piece from sitting too comfortably in the past.
—
Katie is a sixth-generation Colorado native rooted in the land and its history and she brings a deep sense of place into everything she creates. Operating from her studio in Powderhorn, where she builds a life centered on family and the West, her work confronts the quiet weight of tradition, resilience, and the subtle friction of time.
