CURRENT ARTIST:

Nicola Grun: I was born and raised in South Africa and moved to the USA with my family at the end of 1994 during my high school years. I live in the Mile High City – Denver, Colorado. I have written numerous articles for various publications particularly focusing on fine arts, and three years ago began taking painting classes at the Art Students League of Denver.

I am employed as the Director of Marketing & Communications for the American Society of Bariatric Physicians. I also serve on the Board of Directors of PHAMALY (Physically Handicapped Actors & Musical Artists League) - www.phamaly.org.  In my spare time I enjoy cycling, playing tennis, snowboarding, cooking, baking and spending time with friends and family.

Please send me an email at plum2paint@gmail.com.

Past Artists:

My goal is to wow you in the end…
My preference is acrylic on canvas although I can do any wall as well. My style is pretty eclectic; from children’s art to a portrait of a loved one, my pieces have been hung in galleries of childrens’ playrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and work spaces …  all aimed at creating a smile or that “something needed” to brighten that empty space.

Traveling to Cuba and Israel gave me the opportunity to capture a slice of the colors, textures and cultures of each country through my camera lens. I share these with you in this series called “Limon y Rimon*: The Colors of Cuba and Israel.”  I have been photographing the world-at-large for most of my life, starting with my bulky yet beloved Minolta SRT 101 and 102, and now graduating to digital cameras.

Though not a Denver native, I have lived here more than half my life after transferring from Newcomb College of Tulane University to the University of Denver and graduating with an English degree. When you have an English degree, it’s a good idea to develop your photography skills! I am raising my two boys, Scott (now studying at Tulane) and Sam (Go G Dub!), and Kerry Blue Terrier, Fyfer, the sweetest dog in the world (except for your dog).

Just for the record, the trip to Cuba was legal…I went on a humanitarian mission to provide support to the Jewish community. I hope you enjoy these photos.

* Rimon means pomegranate in Hebrew.

Cotton trained in fine arts and interior design at The University of South Carolina 1990 ,Rhode Island School of Design and under the instruction of various artists in North and South America.

Painting for over 12 years, Cotton’s work is distinctive for its bold use of color.

She is unafraid to express herself and her zest for people and life emerges clearly in bright works full of movement. Some find it hard to categorize her style and Cotton is fine with that.

As more private collectors and businesses continue to support her art, Cotton is garnering the discipline and confidence it takes to be a prolific artist.

She currently shows at Bell Gallery and at her 1280 Sherman St. Studio both in Denver.

Cotton also welcomes commissions.

“The strength of your memory dictates the size of your reality.” –Chuck Klosterman

My work aims to make a record of the world around me in an effort to expand my own reality and hopefully that of others.  I try to show subtle beauties by playing with light and reflections, while utilizing angles to create tension within my photographs.  Having the focus of my pictures off-centered creates a more dynamic composition and tells a story that doesn’t end at the edge of the frame.
About me:
I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado where I graduated from Regis University with a BA in English in 2009. It was at this amazing institution where I learned to hone my photography skills with Photoshop CS3 and large scale printers.  My experiences are varied in that, I have also served in the US Army Reserves since 2003 and deployed to Kuwait in Operation Iraqi Freedom for all of 2006.   I currently work at Wash Perk coffee shop where I serve patrons of the Wash Park community while focusing on my art.  Though I love to pursue photography my true passion is in writing and literature.  To view my literary work, take a look at my blog:  supernoavremnant.blogspot.com

Mike Castorino @ MC3 Photography – Denver, Colorado

Having lived in New England, California and Colorado, I have been surrounded by natural beauty my whole life.  As time flows on, capturing such special moments and special places is a way to document some of this splendor of loving and natural light.

Such passion applies to my other photography specialties as well.  Each family, each pet, each event has an essence.  To see that essence, and then capture that in a portrait or in a candid shot can keep memories fresh and alive, and serve to document the moments that make life so special.

“To have time stand still in one photographic capture, is a way to hold history. “
