6.BV Art & Photo - 317 E Main St

Representing over 50 local artists.

November’s Featured Artist is Eva Paul. Eva is a painter who also makes jewelry, journals, hair pins, oracle decks and bookmarks using prints of her paintings. She paints watercolor on canvas, a surface that absorbs nothing and holds everything. The pigment dries on top, waiting, and she can reach back in with water to bring it alive again. Spirals, light, and golden lace rise from the paint the way patterns rise under her hands in a session. Each painting carries what moves through the energy field. The focal point of her show is a large piece that explores tarot and the oracle. "The Fools Journey” led to her Oracle of the Celestial Spheres deck. 

Eva will be offering oracle readings during the art walk, starting at 2pm.

Featuring Photographers Amy & Caleb Clayton Caleb and Amy - outdoor enthusiasts who are drawn to the quiet mystery of the natural world, especially mushrooms and the hidden life of the forest. Through living in and exploring the beautiful states of Colorado, Alaska, and the Western US, they have gathered both images and inspiration from the landscapes around them. This often leads Caleb to pull out his camera and Amy to pull out her pen. 

Caleb has been the lead photographer and videographer for Caleb Clayton Film + Photo since 2013. What started as a childhood passion has quickly grown into a way of living, documenting the life and scenes happening both around him and others. Amy has been his second shooter since day one and also finds inspiration and expression through poetry. Their book As the Forest Breathes combines these two passions. Through photographs by Caleb and poems by Amy, As the Forest Breathes offers a contemplative glimpse into the mysterious world of fungi and the quiet curiosity they awaken around the cycles of life, death, and renewal. Amy and Caleb will be performing from 3p-5p with their energetic sounds, along with displaying their various forms of handcrafted art.

Also onsite is the creative Claire Ramsdell from The Detour Effect with her unique collectible souvenirs for adventure dogs that can be attached to their collars.

15.CKS - 426 E Main St

Featured artist is Jessie Hoialmen, Red Clay Roots Designs 

Originally from Georgia, Jessie moved to Colorado nine years ago looking for new adventures and opportunities. Somewhere along the way, Buena Vista became home—and the mountains, colors, and character of this place have become a big influence on the work she creates. Her pieces combine geometric designs with the natural character of wood, using a mix of locally sourced and upcycled materials alongside new lumber. She especially loves giving discarded or leftover wood a second life and allowing its imperfections, grain, and history to become part of the finished piece. Because of that, no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Custom work and commissions are welcome.

16.Brynn Ronning Art - 430 E Main St (Instagram: brynn_ronning_sandoval)

Pop-up gallery - featuring paintings by Brynn Ronning

Brynn is a painter who has lived in Buena Vista since 2008.  Her artistic spirit feels very much at home in the mountains, and her work explores the stories carried by wind and water.  She celebrates the wide open spaces that invite you to look closer. Here you will find yucca blossoms in the moonlight, a river that snakes through the Arkansas valley, and the shiny quality of treasures found in this high mountain desert landscape. Brynn’s artwork is ultimately about how she can better align with our natural world and how best to represent the sense of care and love of mystery that has been gifted to her.  

17.Cool River - 505 E Main St #110

Featuring the work of Jill Webber-Fredrick - jillwebberfredrickart.com

Instagra @waterpaintink

After teaching and practicing yoga for twenty-five years, a series of injuries led Jill to trade in the yoga studio for a studio of a different kind. In the beginning, that was her kitchen counter—experimenting with pencils, inks and watercolors. Working with subjects and materials from nature comes instinctively for her. Jill’s painting is driven by the feelings she wishes to have about the world. Her hope is that the sincerity of these subjects translates to the community as an offering of harmony, expression, and the courage to explore what is inside each of us. Her art is featured in several private collections and is sold as framable greeting cards in local shops on the Front Range and Western Slope of Colorado.

18.Hi-Lonesome Boutique - 505 E Main St

In 2017, she developed the Non-Traditional Pâte de Verre process—a unique approach to kiln-forming glass that has expanded creative possibilities in glass art, enabling intricate
detail and sculptural complexity. Through her groundbreaking technique and dedication to advancing kiln-formed glass, Evelyn continues to push the boundaries of the glass while inspiring a new generation of glass artists. You can see Evelyn's bones, flowers, and other glass art pieces in the boutique, and while you're there, shop Hi-Lonesome's collection of handpicked wares and unique artisanal clothing and items you won't find anywhere else!

21.Joyful Bakery - 801-1B Front Loop

Featuring Artists Jamie Winsand and Anyta Cosel

Jamie Winsand is an abstract artist who works with mostly repurposed materials as her medium.  Her work lies somewhere between fiber art, weaving, and sculpture.  

Anyta Cosel grew up in New York where she rode the city bus to "Bronx House" for art classes at age 10. Later, it would be "The Art Student's League", Art and Design High School, a college degree in Art History, and graduate degrees in Special Needs and Counseling. Anyta is evolving, exploring new mediums and returning to a place that is familiar and yet, uncertain. She loves playing with color, form, texture and shapes and is totally intrigued with how they can contradict each other and yet, all come together. Her sensual art evokes emotions often through our vulnerabilities and the specific lens from which we view the world. Her paintings have many layers that are an expression of who we are... complicated beings with many stories and experiences. The abstract mystery of her women speak their truths through their passion for life, and at other times, through their silence.

22.Coyote Mezcalería and Cervecería - 801-1A Front Loop

Southern Colorado artist Mary Leslie’s work reflects her deep passion for all things Western—the wildlife, wide-open spaces, rugged landscapes, and grand vistas of the Sangre de Cristo and Wet Mountain ranges she now calls home. Mary briefly studied graphic design at the Savannah College of Art and Design but soon realized her creative path lay elsewhere. A mural commission for a friend launched a decades-long career as a muralist. Working throughout the Southeast on large-scale projects for public and private spaces, she developed her skills in design, color, composition, and a variety of materials. While mural work refined her artistic eye, it also sparked a desire for more personal artistic expression.

Mary’s time in Southwestern Colorado has brought her closer to the landscape she had long been drawn to and connected her with a community of artists, ranchers, and farmers who share her appreciation for the land and Western way of life. Her deep love of animals is equally central to her work. With a natural tendency to anthropomorphize, Mary brings personality, humor, and individuality to her animal subjects, inviting viewers to see them as more than wildlife, but as characters with stories of their own.
