THROUGH SALT & ASH by Brenda Stumpf
Opening Reception: Friday, May 23, 5–7 PM
Artist Talk at 5:30 PM, Friday, May 23
On View: May 23 – June 20, 2025
At the Art Base, 174 Midland Ave, Basalt, CO
Through Salt & Ash is a powerful collection of mixed-media image-based work by Colorado artist Brenda Stumpf. Drawing on the layered histories of places like Red Rocks Canyon, Garden of the Gods, and St. Elmo ghost town, Stumpf transfers photographs onto wood panels and antique paper using methods that evoke age, erosion, and memory. The resulting images feel ancient, sublime, and poetic—monolithic formations and symbolic architectural fragments rendered with textured paint and oxidized surfaces that blur the line between the natural and the spiritual.
AQUA DEPICTA by Deb Shannan
Opening Reception: Friday, May 23, 5–7 PM
Artist Talk at 5:30 PM, Friday, May 23
On View: May 23 – June 20, 2025
At the Art Base, 174 Midland Ave, Basalt, CO
In Aqua Depicta, Glenwood Springs-based artist and educator Deb Shannan presents a series of delicate, layered photographic works capturing the reflections of local waterways throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. These intimate images combine traditional photography with silver leaf, wax, and Japanese kozo paper, resulting in ethereal triptychs and singular works that shimmer with light and seasonal color. Through a blend of scientific observation and artistic intuition, Shannan invites viewers to slow down, observe closely, and connect with the restorative beauty of the natural world.
