Anne McManus February 2024
frogrockedited .jpg

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. Contact Information: Email: annemcmanuspaints@gmail.com      anne.mcmanus@tsd.org   Website:www.annemcmanuspaints.com   Instagram: @annemcmanuspaints

Ruairi S. I am Not Invisible Art December 2023
20231222_085913
 

Ruairi 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 4 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!”

ChaoticPairofSocks September 2023
image000000
 
ChaoticPairOfSocks returns with their 5th showing in the Equilibrium waiting room! They are a sophomore 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.

Kunzite August 2023
 
20230809_180522
While Kunzite is a local artist that calls Denver her home, she has traveled much of her life. She has chosen to settle in the midwest where she is finding new muses to ponder. Her choice mediums are Oil paint and Colored Inks. All of her inspiration comes from nature and her love for storytelling, making each painting a microcosm of a rich world in itself. Every piece is an observation of life and death with the grief and joy held between those two subjects. Recently, she has opened this service up to pet portraits and memorials using her love for animals and a deep respect for the love they gave us while they were with us.  https://www.shadesofsplendor.net/foxnfish

My name is Katie Riedner, and I am Lunar Fox Tie-dye. I enjoy bringing color to many forms of textiles; however, I most enjoy upcycling unique thrift store finds and creating one-of-a-kind tapestries. During my journey of self-exploration, I have discovered just how imperative it is for me to create and pour my energies into different forms of self-expression in order to heal and experience soul-level fulfillment. Tie-dye has given me a sense of wholeness no other art form has given me, and my gratitude for it is immense.
All my pieces are available for sale. For inquiries or commissions, email me at convertedcolor@gmail.com
And be sure to follow me on Instagram @Lunarfoxtiedye to see my latest creations and find out which markets you can find me at next!
