Wildlife sculpture by AMY LAUGESEN available at Columbine Gallery home of the National Sculptors' Guild Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art
Laugesen’s fragmented animal abstracts create a statement housed in both an ancient and contemporary context. She has successfully taken on the ambitious task to capture and translate the delicate beauty of the raku-fired ceramics into monumental forms.
“The horse is a magnificent creature, historic icon and my longtime muse. To unearth the form of the horse within clay is to recognize the enduring nature of this powerful, beautiful animal and its importance in the history of our civilization. This process of discovering the essence of a horse within the “mud” and transforming this into contemporary ceramic artworks remains my great joy and artistic passion.”
Amy Laugesen is a Colorado native. Examples of her work can be found in various private and public collections around the country.
“The intention of my work is to capture the essence of spirit, movement, and timeless story in the sculptural forms I create. The Horse, as form and function, is a reoccurring theme in my mixed media sculptures and large-scale commissioned public artworks. Often the sculptures appear broken or weathered like objects of antiquity. Smaller works are ceramic and the unique colors are achieved through the unpredictable nature of the Raku reduction firing process. For me, the Raku technique brings the artworks to life.”

Painting by DANIEL AUGENSTEIN available at Columbine Gallery Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art and Home Decor
With subject matter and media as varied as his experiences he was deeply impacted by the 10 months that he lived in Tuscany, Italy. Dan favors classic shapes and moody landscapes. The light of New Mexico and the southwestern region reminiscent of Italy also enters into his motifs.
“I remember drawing as a four year-old. Licking the tip of the red color pencil made a more intense red as I drew my tree! In seventh grade, I was given a set of oil paints for a Christmas present. My mom showed me what she had learned about painting a still life in an evening class. In 1973 and 1974, while an art student at the University of Northern Colorado, I had the chance to study in Florence, Italy for 10 months. That influence changed my life in many ways. Following graduation, I began teaching art in the public school. From drawing, to printmaking, to ceramics, to painting, my experiences broadened and I fell "head over heels" infatuated with mark making. I have found that my brushes and pencils create the same endless variety of marks just as the world surrounding me displays an endless variety of life. I find whimsical lines of energy in my paintings begin to imitate the energy that I sense around me. I have fallen in love with my brush! My subject matter and media reflect over forty years of sharing a wide range of artistic adventures with my students in public school and at the college where I currently teach. Every new medium still represents another possible right answer to some yet unanswered query and another journey to some adventure.“ -Dan Augenstein

Abstract sculpture by JOE NORMAN available at Columbine Gallery home of the National Sculptors' Guild Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art
I enjoy honest welds and allen head bolts, the joy of struggle and walnut oil on smooth sanded wood. My best work has regret and relief and sometimes I throw wrenches.
I steal natural shapes for my sculpture. Animal bones and river stones feel familiar in my gut. They’re all over the place, and they’re beautiful.
I take emotional resonance and apply it to beautiful shapes. The right emotion AND the right shape just might be powerful to the right person. Maybe it is a small example of how to practice BOTH AND in addition to EITHER OR.
My intent is to make art that contributes to a wider conversation about justice and care and our impact on the world. I hope it helps people think and be happy; I hope it helps people be important to each other.
-- Joe Norman, 2018
When you support my artwork, be proud that it helps fund my continued investment in the Human Rights Campaign and the National Park Service.
Joe Norman graduated with a degree in engineering from Stanford University prior to careers in product design consulting, education, and fine art. His furniture and sculpture explore environments that support and promote communities. Many of his designs are direct results of working with schools, families, and businesses to develop places that encourage people to work and be together in positive and supportive ways.
Joe believes that gathering places feed the soul of our communities; that it is around our kitchens or with our feet propped up on coffee tables that we have some of our most important conversations. He thinks the most important part of his work isn’t the tables he makes, but rather it is about the people that are sitting around them. In other words, we do not need more stuff in our lives that does not bring us together in community.
Joe’s furniture is made with recycled and environmentally conscious processes and materials whenever possible; he considers the earth itself as an important member of our global community. In fact, many of his ideas in were born from wrecking yards, recycling centers, and retired bicycles. His machine shop is powered by renewable wind energy.

Oil painting by GARY MILLER available at Columbine Gallery Colorado's Largest Fine Art Source Specialists in Public Art and Home Decor
Being an admirer of Mother Nature, Gary is inspired by the roaring waterfalls, bugling elk, and mountain vistas that have surrounded him most of his life. Primarily an oil painter; his landscapes and wildlife paintings reflect this appreciation.
Gary Miller was born in Oklahoma, but moved to Pueblo, Colorado at an early age. As a child, Gary found immense pleasure in painting and drawing. What started as a recreational activity soon blossomed into a lifelong passion. Gary worked with Union Pacific Railroad after receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Colorado State College in 1972 (now Colorado State University – Pueblo). He retired from the railroad in 2010 and began painting full time. In 1987, the Colorado Cattleman’s Association magazine, “The Cattle Guard”, featured Gary’s painting on its cover. Over the years he has been widely collected and has shown in galleries throughout Colorado; as well as Taos, New Mexico; Oklahoma; Kansas; and Wyoming. One of Gary’s painting is displayed in the visitor center of the Japanese sister city to Abilene, Kansas. He now resides in the mountains west of Fort Collins, Colorado with his wife, Tammie, in a home they built together.

Art of the West featured Columbine Gallery and the National Sculptors' Guild Director John Kinkade in their July/August issue. The topic, Today's Sculpture Market. John talks about some of JK Designs' projects and the trends we've seen in our 25th year of designing and placing residential and public art statements.

"Those brave sculptors who wouldn't be deterred from sharing their visions. ...put forth their best efforts and kept foundries, fabrication shops, and brick and mortar gallery doors open. Sculpture is a team sport in most instances requiring many hands." -John Kinkade from 'Sculpture in Today's World', Art of the West July/August 2017 Pick up a copy to read the full article....
