Governor's Art Show 25th Anniversary featuring many Columbine Gallery Artists April 24- May29
Sabrina Stiles painting Saturday May 14th at Columbine Gallery part of the Colorado Governor's Art Show
Sabrina Stiles is a versatile and prolific painter. She draws inspiration from her travels as well as the beautiful landscape near her home in Colorado. Her keen observation and reverence for the beauty that surrounds her is evident in her work.
She has studied with many nationally recognized artists and has won awards in local, regional and National competition. Her work is in private collections throughout the country.
“I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue my passion. Inspiration for my work comes from what may be considered obviously beautiful to others and that which may not. What draws my attention is the mood of the scene. I hope that my paintings evoke a feeling of connection to a place and time that is special to you.” ~Sabrina
Rodgers Naylor painting Saturday May 14th at Columbine Gallery part of the Colorado Governor's Art Show
Rodgers Naylor grew up in rural Maryland and since then has lived many years in the West and Midwest.
He takes a strong interest in the effects of light and shadow, and in the relationship between the landscape and its human inhabitants. Each painting is both an abstract composition of light and dark shapes, and the starting point of a story whose details and conclusions may be imagined by the viewer. While he likes the drawing aspect of his paintings to be accurate and believable, the application of paint can be more expressive and playful. He paints both in the studio and en plein air.
Rodgers is a member of the American Impressionist Society, the Art Students League of Denver, Oil Painters of America and Plein Air Artists Colorado. His work is represented by Evergreen Fine Art in Colorado, and by galleries in Dallas, Kansas City, Michigan and DC
