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 Settlers West Gallery Tucson, Arizona.  He regularly teaches oil painting at the Evergreen Art Center and conducts workshops and classes  through  Studio  8369.

Karol Mack is widely recognized as one of the foremost interpreters of the Western landscape.  Her oil paintings evoke the essence and beauty of the natural world as only a master of painting can do.  Her paintings range from large renderings of the majestic Rocky Mountains to intimate vignettes of aspen groves, winding streams waterfalls, and meadows.  Her artwork can be found at Loch Vale Fine Art and Studio in Estes Park, CO.  She is a Signature Member of the Oil Painters of America (O.P.A.), a Founding Member of the Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters, and a Artists Fellow of the American Artists Professional League.  A few of the major awards include:  Award of Excellence of the Oil Painters of America – Chicago, IL, The Jessie B.

Marin Dobson is an artist whose trademark oil paintings are infused with a luminous color quality and a focus on lyrical forms. Her paintings incorporate the bold use of color, a variety of textures, lost and found edges, control of values and strong compositions. Her work is accomplished in a painterly style that reflect both her Russian School inspired training at the Sahli School of Art and her study of technique at the Art Students League of Denver, including a year of training with Quong Ho.

Marin has won awards and national recognition for her distinctive oil paintings. Her paintings have been juried into many national and international shows including American Women Artists, Oil Painters of America, Salon International, Society of Master Impressionist Painters, and Audubon Artists of America. Marin’s work has also been selected for numerous corporate collections and has been featured in “Southwest Art Magazine”, “American Art Collector Magazine”, “The Artists Magazine”, “5280 Magazine”, and “Serenity Magazine”. She holds membership in an extensive list of professional artist organizations. Marin’s work can be seen on the web at www.marindobson.com with links to the galleries representing her work.
