Elissa Quist is an abstract painter based in Denver, Colorado, specializing in oil paint and cold wax. A graduate of Art Center College of Design in California, Elissa’s education spans a distinct combination of both classical and conceptual art. Her practice revolves around the nuanced interplay of 'being' and the external forces that shape our state of mind. Drawing from diverse influences, Elissa navigates the psychological effects of color, incorporating both historical and contemporary, natural and manufactured subject matter to deepen the viewer's connection to her work.

Guest artist Timothea Biermann is a prolific silkscreen printmaker, large-scale abstract painter, teaching artist and co-founder of the Chameleon Art Collective. In addition to other art studies, she graduated with honors with a BFA in ceramics from Maine College of Art and earned an MA in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. An educator for 25 years, Biermann currently teaches Painting & Drawing at Thomas Jefferson High School in Denver, Colorado.

Guest Artist Zelga Simone Miller uses a range of media, moving between printmaking, drawing and painting, in pursuit of a balance between a sense of stillness and dynamic fluidity. Her work speaks of layers—of peeling back the veneer of the everyday to uncover a sense of disquiet in an otherwise serene scene. Her practice looks beyond the physical elegance of the line and more intensively toward the emotional vulnerability of the figure.
