Artist Statement

 

Much of my work comes after meditation, writing and contemplation.  I create paintings in all varieties- oil, acrylic, mixed media (I love old paper collage), charcoal and ink.  I use saturated and muted color combinations along with a lot of touchable texture.  I write an intention, poem, lyrics or an affirmation on the base layer that is sometimes still visible in the finished piece.  Each subsequent brush stroke sets the message within, increasing the vibrational energy to enable my own healing, joy and peace.  Basically, as I paint over the words, I continue to consider them and as I move (painting is a very active process), my energy improves, I feel inspired, and basically my mood and my day feel in alignment with my dreams and desires.  That’s the healing aspect of art.  Painting is like going into meditation for several hours.  I focus on allowing the painting to tell it’s own story, often not knowing the deeper meaning until long after it’s finished.  That’s the beauty of art, you can see something new in it everytime you look.

You can read and see a lot more about my process at www.nikkinienhuis.com/about.

Nikki Nienhuis (Golden, CO) was born and raised on the front range of Colorado, where she spent her childhood exploring the surrounding woods, creeks and mesas. After college, she enjoyed 20+ years working in healthcare sales and spent over 10 of those studying at the Art Students’ League of Denver in her free time. In January of 2018, Nikki quit her corporate job to focus on her art practice.  She regularly exhibits her work across Colorado.  She currently sits as Chair of Foothills Art Center’s Open Studio Group. She was awarded Best Use of Medium at the Golden Arts Week Paint Out in 2018, and more recently, she was the recipient of the Dr Ph. Martin Award at Golden Arts Week Plein Air Event, 2019. Her work is included in the publication “Demystifying the Artist: 27 Artists Discuss What it Really Means to Be An Artist” (Trier, Elinor, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 1st edition 2018, p78-82), and she has been written about in Voyage Denver, the Golden Transcript, Summit Daily News and has been interviewed on Fox31 Denver.

Mitch Caster, Fine Artist

“I’ve been painting and drawing for as long as I can remember. I love capturing bits and pieces of the good that is around me.”

UPDATE November 14, 2020

I’m honored that KUSA/9News (Denver) will be featuring me in its “Positively Colorado” segment with Gary Shapiro. The segment is scheduled to air on the morning show Monday, Nov. 16, and should air again that day on the 4 p.m. news.

Years ago, I was the news and courtroom artist for 9News. Since transitioning to fine art, my old station came out to catch up and see what I’ve been up to! Check out my site for the latest info! https://mitchcasterfineart.com

Lindsay Ternes

In My Words:

I’m a telemark skier, backpacker, trail runner, and animal lover. Playing outside is where I’m happiest, and my creativity soars in sunshine. Long before I studied art in the mountains of Aix-en-Provence, France, I fell madly in love with painting in nature. As a mother of two young girls, my joyous return to plein air is heightened by the opportunity to share the value of the arts and the beauty of the outdoors with my growing family. When I hike my easel around the trails near our home in Boulder and beyond, I quickly work to capture the little story in the scenes I discover. I’m lucky to call this stunning location home, and feel compelled to share the light and curves of this amazing place with eyes near and far.

 

Bio:

Lindsay Jane Ternes is an award-winning artist based in Boulder, Colorado. Born in Billings, Montana and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Lindsay’s passion for art was apparent from a young age and never waned. At the University of Denver she majored in Marketing and Studio Art to equip herself for a future in fine art. While there Lindsay focused on figure painting, later rediscovering her love for landscape painting while studying at The Marchutz School of Fine Arts in Aix-en-Provence. Her time in Southern France greatly influences her scene selection and light interpretation today.

After years away from a serious studio discipline, Lindsay committed herself to becoming a professional artist while raising her young children. She typically works on location, painting “en plein air,” in and around her home in Boulder, Colorado, but you’ll also find her painting in Glacier National Park each summer. Lindsay’s work can be found at Spirits in the Wind Gallery in Golden, Colorado, as well as Frame of Reference Fine Art in Whitefish, Montana.
