SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Molly Altman and Sabrina Piersol "FLORAL PANIC"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, June 12 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, June 12 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: June 12 to July 24\, 2026 \nMolly Altman’s ceramic sculptures explore the fragile balance between resilience and impermanence in the natural world. Working with flora gathered from the Carbondale landscapes and flowers\, leaves\, vines\, and grasses\, she dips these materials in porcelain and fires them\, transforming organic forms into delicate\, ghostlike structures. By reassembling these elements onto hand-built ceramic frameworks\, Altman creates intricate micro-environments that echo the ecologies from which they came. Her work honors the abundance and vulnerability of the Roaring Fork Valley\, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship to a rapidly changing environment. \nSabrina Piersol’s paintings emerge from a spark of inspiration a loose sketch\, a color palette\, or a single natural form before unfolding into an intuitive\, responsive process. Guided by presence and improvisation\, she follows each mark as it appears\, allowing the composition to evolve with the same unpredictability and openness found in meditation. Her work prioritizes the relationships of color\, form\, and movement\, resulting in dynamic\, emotionally resonant paintings shaped by both intention and discovery. \nGenerously sponsored by Krista Klees and Palladium Group\, and Z Group Architecture & Interior Design \n  \n \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, August 28\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, August 28 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: August 28 to September 25\, 2026 \n  \nThe Art Base is pleased to present A Sense of Place\, a new exhibition featuring artists Sam Harvey\, Hunter Hogan\, and Sara Ransford. Though each artist works from a unique perspective\, the exhibition reveals the many ways place can be interpreted as something deeply personal and continually evolving.  \nFor Hogan and Ransford\, artists who have spent decades living and working in the Roaring Fork Valley\, the landscape is far more than scenery. Mountains\, rivers\, gardens\, and canyon walls become points of departure for work that explores both the external environment and the internal landscapes of experience and identity.  \n \nSara Ransford’s paper clay sculptures emerge from years of exploring the mountains\, rivers\, and canyons of the American West. Influenced by the forces of erosion\, deposition\, and water’s relentless ability to reshape the earth\, her layered forms mirror both geological time and the emotional accumulation of lived experience. The repeated building\, exposing\, and revealing within her sculptures echoes the ways personal histories become embedded over time. Also debuting in this exhibition is a new series of ceramic trays developed during artist residencies over the past four years\, where experimentation with multiple clay bodies and remnants of Japanese processes opened new avenues of exploration.  \nHunter Hogan approaches place through observation of the living world. Her paintings are built from drawings\, digital studies\, and layers of gouache that evolve through an intuitive process in the studio. Recent works were inspired by three months spent in South Africa\, where gardens\, vegetation\, and patterns found in nature became catalysts for abstraction. Rather than painting landscapes directly\, Hogan distills the experience of being immersed in them\, creating works that evoke the quiet complexity of the natural world.  \n \nFor Sam Harvey\, making is a way of responding to space and place. Working without a predetermined outcome\, he allows each object to emerge through an ongoing dialogue with clay\, testing ideas through making\, remaking\, and refining. Practical realities\, including the scale of his kiln and the physical limits of the material itself\, become active collaborators in the work. Clay\, drawn from the earth\, is both responsive and unpredictable; it can bend\, break\, or fail\, reminding us that some aspects of making can be controlled while others remain unknowable. Harvey continually asks how far a form can be pushed in a particular time and place\, inventing techniques as needed while exploring volume\, body\, and structure. His sculptures often recall walls\, vessels\, monuments\, and ancient built forms\, where hard edges retain the softness inherent to clay and become anchors for the space they occupy.  \nAlthough their practices differ\, meaningful connections emerge throughout the exhibition. Ransford’s layered geological forms\, Hogan’s botanical abstractions\, and Harvey’s sculptural objects each explore how place is built\, remembered\, and experienced. Together\, the artists reveal that our relationship with place is never static; it is continually shaped by time\, experimentation\, limitation\, discovery\, and renewal.  \nA Sense of Place invites viewers to slow down and reflect on their own connections to the spaces they inhabit and the places that continue to shape and inspire them.  \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by CCY Architects and Kathy Honea \n  \n \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Michael Kinsley "Sensuous Landscapes"
DESCRIPTION:On view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM \nMichael Kinsley: Sensuous Landscapes\nMichael Kinsley is a self-taught painter and long-time valley resident who focuses on local landscapes. For Michael\, landscapes are more than just a scene; they invoke a feeling of peace. \nIn Sensuous Landscapes\, Kinsley combines improvisation\, abstraction\, and realism to create paintings that capture both the physical character and emotional energy of the places he encounters. His use of color\, shape\, and form introduces a sense of psychedelic looseness\, exaggerating elements of the landscape and freeing them from strict representation. The forms maintain their inherent naturalness while being liberated from the literal. \n“Because I can’t bear leaving Nature behind\, I roll Her up in oil paint and take Her home\,” says Kinsley. \nThrough his paintings\, Kinsley seeks to preserve moments in nature that may be changing or disappearing. His work reflects both an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world and a recognition of its fragility\, encouraging continued protection and appreciation of the places that surround us. \nAbout Michael Kinsley:\nMichael Kinsley came to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1970\, drawn to the depth\, strength\, and engagement of the community. Shortly after arriving\, he became deeply involved in Aspen’s historic Freak Power and Hunter Thompson era. From 1975 to 1985\, he served as a county commissioner\, advancing environmental\, transit\, and social policies. Kinsley is also a mediator and facilitator and worked with the Rocky Mountain Institute from 1983 to 2016. In 2013\, he was inducted into the Aspen Hall of Fame. \n  \nThis exhibition is generously sponsored by Andrea Gurule\, State Farm\, and Cathers Home. The Art Base also extends its gratitude to Alpine Bank\, the 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, for its continued support of exhibitions at the Art Base.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: David Clark "Mt Sopris in Black and White"
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, October 2 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM\nOn view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026 \nDavid Clark: Mt. Sopris in Black and White\nIn 2009\, David Clark boarded his horses at a ranch with a view of Mount Sopris. The owners of this ranch told David that they were tired of looking at the mountain because it “always looked the same”. \nTo prove that the mountain was anything but static\, he set out to photograph the “Queen of the Roaring Fork Valley” every day for 365 days. The resulting body of work\, One: One Year in the Life of Mount Sopris\, marked the beginning of what would become a 16-year exploration of the\niconic peak. \nSince then\, Clark has taken more than 3\,000 photographs of Mount Sopris\, documenting its changing personality\, light\, atmosphere\, and relationship to the landscape around it. In Mt. Sopris in Black and White\, sharp photography and deep contrast emphasize the mountain’s powerful presence while revealing the subtle changes that make each view distinct. Clark’s photographs celebrate Mount Sopris not simply as a landmark\, but as a constant presence in the lives of those who live in and visit the Roaring Fork Valley. His work honors the privilege of witnessing such a remarkable natural monument and captures its enduring force and grace through photography. \nAbout David Clark:\nDavid Clark was born in 1959 at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. He graduated from Duke University in 1981 with a degree in Geology and Geophysics and spent more than 20 years working in the oil and gas and computer software industries. Over the past 25 years\, Clark has developed his passion for and refined his skills in landscape photography. His photographs have appeared on magazine covers and in news articles\, as well as in large-scale installations in private homes throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. His work\, including his extensive collection of Mount Sopris photographs\, has been exhibited\, sold\, and recognized with awards at venues throughout the region.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Michael Kinsley "Sensuous Landscapes"
DESCRIPTION:On view: October 2 to October 30\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, October 2\, from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, October 2 at 5:30 PM \n  \nRooted in traditional representational painting\, Kinsley’s style has evolved to amplify Nature’s sensual forms\, some obvious\, others obscure. One curator calls his work “voluptuous.” \nIn oil\, he paints his smaller pieces plein air. Larger pieces begin as field sketches that establish composition\, which he amplifies in the studio as sinuous natural shapes. These two-steps allow him to see on-site the convergence of subtle shapes that photos often miss\, then interpret and refine the shapes more deliberatively in the studio. \nHis primary subjects are Western Colorado and the Utah desert\, mostly from the Roaring Fork Valley. Influences include Canadian modernists Emily Carr and Franklin Carmichael. Also\, Edgar Payne\, Maynard Dixon\, and Cezanne\, plus friends Dan Young (Silt)\, Tania Dibbs (Basalt)\, and the Hermitage Group (St Petersburg\, Russia) \nCurrently\, his paintings are on display at Aspen’s Wind River Gallery. Since the 90s\, they have appeared in 14 galleries and in over 20 local community exhibits\, including juried shows. Institutional collections include Parc Aspen Restaurant\, Colorado River Conservation District\, Valley View Hospital\, and Rocky Mountain Institute. \n  \nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank \n \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Chris Hassig
DESCRIPTION:On view: November 6 to December 4\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, November 7 from 5 PM- 7 PM\n \n  \nChris Hassig (b. 1987) is an artist and community leader based in Carbondale\, Colorado\, whose intricate drawings and prints blur the boundaries between landscape\, abstraction\, and imagined worlds. Rooted in a lifelong fascination with mapping and mark-making\, Hassig’s work ranges from expansive multi-panel etchings of his fictional country\, Saiopor\, to densely detailed ink drawings inspired by close observations of nature. His practice merges precision and play\, incorporating printmaking\, cyanotype\, collage\, and sewn elements that highlight both meticulous craftsmanship and improvisation.\ \n\nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Rachel Becker "Net-work: Weaving the World"
DESCRIPTION:On view: November 6 to December 4\, 2026\nOpening Reception: Friday\, November 6 from 5 PM- 7 PM\nArtist Talk: Friday\, November 6 at 5:30 PM \n  \nRachel Becker brings a series that explores weaving\, webs\, and networks as structures that connect\, hold\, and move vital energy. Constructed from found and foraged materials: branches\, plant fibers\, fishing line\, and produce netting\, the lightweight hanging sculptures reference nets\, tapestries\, and natural systems. Installed as an immersive canopy\, the works invite visitors to step inside the visible and invisible networks that shape our world\, from mycelial pathways to the “World Wide Web.” Drawing inspiration from ancient textile traditions and the mythic weaver goddesses of pre-medieval Europe\, the project reflects on how the threads of fate\, ecology\, and technology intertwine. \n\nThank you to our generous 2026 Annual Exhibition Sponsor\, Alpine Bank
