Pem Dunn has lived and painted in Colorado since 1984 and maintains residences in Evergreen and Tabernash. His paintings are a clear reflection of his love of the out-of-doors. Hiking the backcountry trails of the Rocky Mountains provides much of his inspiration. Viewing Pem’s work, one sees many familiar vistas of these areas in his oils. Pem is inspired by the constant changes in light and weather. This inspiration is evident in the light and subtle nuances of color that bring a great deal of richness to his work.

Pem has studied with some of this country’s finest artists including Joseph Dawley, Natalie Becker, Karen Vance and Scott Christensen.

Pem is represented by Studio 8369 Gallery in Grand Lake Colorado and Evergreen Gallery, Evergreen Colorado. He regularly teaches oil painting at Center for the Arts in Evergreen, CO and conducts workshops and classes through Studio 8369.

As a child, Carol Jenkins’ home was filled with the beautiful paintings of her artist great grandmother whose resume included painting “en plein air” in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the 1890’s.

 Inspired and encouraged by her creative Massachusetts family, she always knew she wanted to be an artist.

She received the prestigious National Scholastic Art Scholarship while in high school providing the opportunity to extensively study painting at the prestigious School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. 

Struck with a bit of wanderlust in her early twenties, Carol headed west and discovered the raw beauty of the Rocky Mountains. She quickly settled in the historic mining town of Ward, Colorado where she lives to this day.

A passion and skill for plein air painting has infused her work with a style that is always boldly spontaneous and fresh.

 She is a nationally recognized artist exhibiting in galleries in Colorado, Connecticut and Utah, has numerous awards to her credit and has participated in many national exhibitions.

Most recently she was awarded Signature Membership with the Oil Painters of America.
