Ben Hindes August 2026
Ben traditionally does portraits and nude figure drawing with oil but since this is an office space he changed it up. Recently he have begun to experiment with gouache. Gouache is a watercolor of sorts and watercolors feel more like nature so he did a piece of a bluejay and a piece of a lost icecream on the ground. Usually his pieces are more gloomy but since he found out recently the gallery was a therapy office he decided to go with more happy forms like animals.
To contact him about any of the pieces text me at 720-949-8052
The prices are listed below the pieces, if there is no listing then its not for sale.

ChaoticPairofSox February 2026
ChaoticPairOfSocks returns with their 6th showing in the Equilibrium Waiting Room Gallery! They are a senior in high school going to MVHS. As a mixed media artist, they do everything from chalk pastels to digital art on their computer. They take most of their inspiration from mythology and folklore along with various videogames and TV shows like Pokémon, Zelda, Final Fantasy, and a plethora of Animes.
They often lack consistency, balancing school and a mountain of obligations leaves them with little time to partake in their hobbies. However they seem to never learn their lesson and just keep collecting more hobbies and interests. Their art is always all over the place with these new interests and experiments to try as a growing artist. In other words, there’s always something new.
If you’d like to see more of their art you can find them on Instagram @ChaoticPairOfSocks.

Nateal December 2025
Born and raised in Loveland, Colorado, she’s always felt a natural pull toward the arts in one form or another. From sculpting and ceramics in high school to spontaneous experiments on canvas, creativity has remained a constant in her life. She’s a beginner potter, having started less than a year ago, and enjoys both wheel throwing and hand building. The wheel gives her a sense of flow and form, while hand building allows for more creative freedom—like the coffin piece and abstract forms created from spare clay. Her painting style is instinctive and unstructured, often driven by color and emotion. Every piece is part of an ongoing exploration of materials, mood, and meaning.
This showing of art includes pieces to be taken home at the end of the month for others to enjoy.

Rosemary Hammer February 2025
We are excited to welcome Rose back to the Waiting Room Gallery for a 2nd showing of her creations! Rosemary Hammer is a mother, grandmother, and a wife. She is raising 4 grandchildren in this crazy world, trying to navigate menopause and manage stress at the same time, while escaping the reality of my daughter’s addictions to alcohol and drugs, she realized she am helpless to both. She has always baked, cooked, and crafted her whole life, but now sees the true benefits /stress relief crafting brings.

Ruairi S. I am Not Invisible Art December 2024 & January 2025
We are excited to welcome Ruairi again to the Waiting Room Gallery! She is a 16 year old girl with dreams of being an artist, dog trainer, and singer. She is an advocate for herself & others in the disability community. She was 2020 Miss Amazing Jr. Teen Queen & represented Colorado nationally in Nashville & is the 2023 Denver Saint Patrick’s Day Queen Colleen Irish Princess. She is working on the committee for this year’s competition to have full inclusion for the 2024 Irish Princess pageant.
She began her art form of acrylic pour painting 5 years ago. It has been exciting & challenging! We would need more than just a desire to paint to make this work for her who knew art could actually require science??? She wanted to paint but struggled to get her ideas from her imagination onto the canvas with her challenges of Sensory Processing Disorder, Dysgraphia, fine motor skills challenges & her Intellectual Disability, we would need to get creative to find what would work for her & her abilities. In searching for painting skills that didn’t necessarily require a brush, we discovered the technique of Acrylic Paint Pouring. Oh was it an amazing hit!!! When you combine colorful paints, fun ways to get the paint to the canvas and with adult help find the right mix of additives to give fun effects, the world really opened up for her & would teach her some science too! She chooses all the colors & how the painting is finished with glitter, foil accents etc. She does the pour itself; through strainers, over vases & even spins them on a cake decorator sometimes. There have been many realizations along the way…the color possibilities are endless, some of the canvas sizes are harder than others and there are even other art forms beyond the canvases to go with it, just to name a few. When we realized this was a messy art technique we had to prepare the pre-art phase as much as the after-art phase. The after-art has been one of the more creative aspects…from Christmas ornaments to jewelry, we searched the internet to discover what to do with the overflow paint and it has been so much fun!
I Am Not Invisible Art is an emerging movement Ruairi wants to be a fully inclusive environment for everyone who has an invisible disability to learn art forms, feel like they can express themselves & be an artist too! She wants to have the opportunity to help others see what she does and share her journey to encourage others in her community if you can dream it, nothing is impossible with a little help and creative thinking!
Her motto for I Am Not Invisible Art, which she says with confidence & quite a bit of Sass…“My disabilities may be Invisible but I AM NOT!”

Anne McManus February 2024
To tend a garden is to be fully present, in complete solitude and together in a colorful community of friends. Anne seeks to capture the feeling of being completely present with the flowers, appreciating their beauty and complexity.
The Sunflowers are a process called ‘Blind Contour Drawing’. Anne begin by finding the contour–the edges– of the flower and draw with complete focus following the contour with my eyes and pen, never stopping or looking at the paper. Where the lines land on the paper is where they stay. She may revisit the same flower over and over, in the morning, in the evening, today and tomorrow until the bloom is no more; often drawing on top of a previous drawing. Color is added with ink and the composition grows from there. The Pastel paintings are also of my gardens. She tries to capture the impression of the blooms and light of the gardens in the early morning.
She began her teaching career in TSD in 1989. She has taught visual art at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. She also held positions as Curriculum Coordinator, GT Coordinator, LISA Coordinator, Instructional Leader, Professional Developer/Coach with PEBC. This is her 23st year at Mountain View High School, she currently teaches Painting and Drawing.
