Cherry Creek Arts Festival 2011, Part 1

A little artistic inspiration from the artist showing at The Cherry Creek Arts Festival 2011.

The photograph of Micheal Paul Cole were wonderful and amazing. All of his work is completed in the dark room - no photoshop magic here.


And then there is the work of Raquel Edwards who combines her photograph with encaustics for a really subtle, lovely feel. This is a bird's nest that is made from horse hair. I love the soft quality of the work.


This is an example of the great graphics offered by Lissa Herschleb. Ellie really loved the black and white graphic quality of her work.



Larry Fielder creates very nice,often colorful items in wood. I enjoyed visiting with him.




Brian Beam creates pottery that has wonderful details and texture. For example, the edge of many of the pieces he had at the show were textured by running a gear around the lip of the item. I purchased a small bowl from him which I will feature in a future posting.





Cori Dantini "Willing Participant". I love her work. I got a chance to chat with her last year and was happy to see her again this year.

I've never encountered the unusual and wonderful work of Deanne Nixon. Her pieces are filled with tiny folded paper flowers. The photos don't do it justice. If she exhibits in your area, you should make sure to see it.
