On the First Friday of each month, the West + Main Homes team loves supporting local art by inviting creators to showcase their works in our popular storefront galleries.
This month, we hope you’ll join us for a little walk down memory lane each week, as we reminisce about all of the fun Artwalk events that we have hosted in our RiNo and Louisville offices.
We invite you to visit the online galleries and social accounts of these wonderful, creative + talented folks…and we will look forward to reuniting with you when this crisis has passed and our galleries are able to re-open.
Phillip Faulkner
Faulkner’s artistic inquiry spans visual mediums, but the one formal constant is an embrace of collage philosophy. Interested in how technology and the emergence of media outlets inform, affect and intertwine with the historical art canon. Faulkner's artistic inquiry spans visual mediums, but the one formal constant is an embrace of collage philosophy. He produces work that melds the digital and tangible, bridges technology and tradition, and attempts to create imagery that is both new and nostalgic.

Marlene Feinholz
"I am drawn to the varied architecture in the city with its dark shadows, bright lights, details and lean lines. I especially like the mood in an early Sunday morning as I like to maintain an air of mystery within my work." — Marlene Feinholz

Merne Judson III
“I take photographs. And most of my photographs are taken in the city. There’s a large concentration of stories and narrative and people being… people. The city shows you why everything matters, and why nothing matters. I hope you enjoy them.” — Merne Judson III

Mandy Yocum
Each piece of my art is painted, drawn, sketched, glued, stitched, or created with love in my studio in Englewood, CO. My work tends to be abstract with a somewhat magical feel. There are elements of rich texture, thick paint, vibrant colors, and playful movement in all of my pieces.

Laurie Halvorson
Painter, designer and aerospace analyst, Laurie Halvorson is a natural inquisitive whose left and right brain contend for dominance. Her creative acts often reflect this tug of war. Acceptance of her competing natures opens the door to varied creative expressions in her creative adventures. “My work is glimpses, instances and recollections of things not well expressed in words. I live in the respite of Beauty. This influence is the catalyst for my works in any form." - Laurie Halvorson

Gabrielle Shannon
I attempt to capture the states and stages of the dynamic energy that surrounds and fills us, constantly shifting and transforming, too small to understand and too vast to comprehend… and recognizing that the patterns of change are the only constant we have. - Gabrielle

Ryan Rice
My artwork is a reflection of me; funny, witty, smart, opinionated and always unexpected. I created a name for myself painting humorous paintings, puns and play on words. Recently I've added Figurative and Pop Culture series' to my repertoire. I paint images that I find beautiful, vividly inspiring and create emotion in me.
