Together, Sam, Hunter, and Sara have a more than twenty five year connection to the Roaring Fork Valley and Western Colorado. Being connected to the land has been paramount to our development as artists and human beings. Hunter Hogan’s works on canvas, Sara Ransford’s paper clay wall pieces and Sam’s clay constructions all connect on various levels, their individual voices interpreting the landscape, their view of the natural world and experiences connecting them as artists.

Rooted in traditional representational painting, Kinsley’s style has evolved to amplify Nature’s sensual forms, some obvious, others obscure. One curator calls his work “voluptuous.”

In oil, he paints his smaller pieces plein air. Larger pieces begin as field sketches that establish composition, which he amplifies in the studio as sinuous natural shapes. These two-steps allow him to see on-site the convergence of subtle shapes that photos often miss, then interpret and refine the shapes more deliberatively in the studio.

Chris Hassig (b. 1987) is an artist and community leader based in Carbondale, Colorado, whose intricate drawings and prints blur the boundaries between landscape, abstraction, and imagined worlds. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with mapping and mark-making, Hassig’s work ranges from expansive multi-panel etchings of his fictional country, Saiopor, to densely detailed ink drawings inspired by close observations of nature.

Rachel Becker brings a series that explores weaving, webs, and networks as structures that connect, hold, and move vital energy. Constructed from found and foraged materials: branches, plant fibers, fishing line, and produce netting, the lightweight hanging sculptures reference nets, tapestries, and natural systems. Installed as an immersive canopy, the works invite visitors to step inside the visible and invisible networks that shape our world, from mycelial pathways to the “World Wide Web.”

HOME / UN HOGAR: Welcomes Basalt High School students celebrating the voices and artistic expressions of these students who have recently arrived in the United States.

This community-centered program offers students the opportunity to reflect on the concept of “home”, both the home they’ve left behind and the new home they are building here in the Roaring Fork Valley. Through bilingual instruction and artistic mentorship from Gabriela Mejia, students will create individual artworks and written reflections.

Lindsey Yeager creates large-scale gouache paintings that explore disconnection, grief, transformation, and the emotional weight of living in a rapidly changing world. Their work merges personal narrative with broader cultural anxieties, examining loss, fear, and the longing to be understood. Through vivid imagery and metaphor, the paintings probe the messy, creature-like experience of navigating a world that often feels uninhabitable.
