Sandra Meyer once put down her brushes for college, a career in the music industry and a day job, painting at night whenever she could. Eventually, she took the leap into art full time and never looked back.

Today, Sandra's expressive mixed-media work explores horses, figures, botanicals and the natural world, fueled by the experimentation she considers essential to her practice.

First, make a mess. Then make it art.

Ash Beheshti builds his mixed-media works from newspaper scraps, magazine pages, vintage photographs and text, layering them with acrylic paint and his own macro photography until the fragments become a new visual story.

Usually created late at night with music filling the studio, his work proves inspiration doesn't always keep business hours.

The West has officially gone digital. ๐Ÿค 

Evergreen, Colorado artist Bill Varner starts with photography, then layers texture, color and unexpected visual elements until not one original pixel remains.

From molten cowboy boots to bronc riders forged in rust, his conceptual photography gives Western imagery a thoroughly modern ride.

Blueberries are kind of his jam. ๐Ÿซ

Charleston artist Kyle Brown Jr. finds optimism and curiosity in the natural world, exploring subjects that range from blueberries and oceans to planets and stars through soft pastel, graphite, printmaking and painting.

This fall marks Kyle's first Cottonwood Art Festival. We can't wait to see what he brings to the table. ๐Ÿ˜‰
