About the Exhibit:
In Depth is a return to figures but does not completely abandon the flower. Rather, the two join forces to tackle some of the harder conversations -- lending each other color and strength.
About the Artist:
Nichole Montanez is a versatile artist living and working in Florence, CO. She received a BA in Fine Art from CSU, Pueblo then immediately went to work in journalism. Since then she has straddled the worlds of fact and fiction. Her most ambitious body of work was a documentary photo series on critically ill children and their fight to use cannabis to treat intractable epilepsy and other life-threatening illnesses. The project spanned nearly a decade. When it ended in 2020 she began painting again. Though the medium has changed, her work still speaks to the delicate, fleeting nature of life. She has explored flowers in recent years in an attempt to give visual representation to imagined spaces between this realm, the next and the very real, yet imperceptible, phases along the way.

Intro to Watercolor
Thursday nights in September 12 - Oct. 10
The goal of this class is to find the delight and playfulness of watercolor. We will cover the basics of watercolor from color charts, to painting a still life, and composing a landscape painting. Most of the class will be spent on practicing watercolor technique within the context of the elements of art. The intent is to inspire you to take your paints to the mountains or on your next trip and create a venue for you to be able to soak in the beauty of nature
