I was happy to travel to Leadville lately to see the newly-expanded Harperrose Studios! Harperrose now has more than twice as much space as before to showcase local Leadville and Colorado artists!
It’s wild for me to remember that Harperrose’s building space used to be the old video rental place in town. The transformation of this little corner of Leadville has completely floored me. This space is such a good thing for Leadville, and such a wonderful way to honor artists.
Mineshaft postcards are pictured above, featuring six of my mineshaft oil paintings. The mineshaft in the paintings can be seen from the Mineral Belt Trail in Leadville.
Below is a large oil painting of mine of Mt. Elbert.
The painting above is of a fairy-slipper orchid, a rare flower that can be found near Leadville in rare instances. One hint I will say is that I have seen them near Turquoise Lake. From what I’ve seen, they grow in shady areas with mixed amounts of moisture and dryness.
Several of my original paintings are at Harperrose studios, as well as prints, mini-prints, paper art, and bookmarks!
All in all, the grand-reopening was a wonderful event and a fantastic way to celebrate the expansion! Congrats Harperrose!
