KATE ELVIN - KNOTTY KNOTS
LAURIE ALGAR - FANTASIA MOSAICS AND CARDS
Knotty Knots is the brainchild of Kate Elvin who’s a graphic artist by day and a wizard with a crochet hook by night. She began expressing herself through yarn a few years ago after casually mentioning to her husband that she had always wanted to learn to crochet. Since then, she’s created countless bunnies, zebras, monsters of all types as well as sea creatures and custom creations. As if that’s not enough, she began making her own doggie bow ties after a search for the perfect canine accessory turned up nothing. Stop by and take a look. You’ll find it hard to say no and you’ll likely end up with one of her adorable little gems in your arms while your furry little companion struts around in the most dapper of adornments.

LAURIE ALGAR - FANTASIA MOSAICS AND CARDS
Twenty years ago, when I was an elementary teacher in the Boulder/Denver metro area, I started turning bowls on the lathe over the weekends, primarily as gifts for friends and family. Over the years that turned into me being commissioned to create more and more pieces, which began to include charcuterie and cutting boards. More recently I’ve started creating unique small wood & resin hearts and angels that can be hung on the wall, in windows, or as ornaments.

Do you appreciate tomfoolery, hoopla, hooey, buffoonery, poppycock, absurdity, mumbo jumbo rubbish? If so, I might have the art you didn't know you needed.

ANA BALZAN
I am an acrylic painter and figurative sculptor based in Longmont, Colorado. My art focuses on capturing the natural beauty of the state through landscape, wildlife and birds. I blend traditional techniques with experimental abstract painting using alternative tools. I gather inspiration from outdoor excursions and use digital manipulation to create unique compositions on canvas, with the goal of seamlessly blending abstract backgrounds with realistic depictions of birds and animals. Additionally, I create hand-built clay slab sculptures that express personal experiences and emotions, with a focus on the human body and its ability to convey feelings and situations. I also hope to expand my studies to include depictions of animals and birds in my sculpture work.

AMANDA STONG ILLUSTRATION
As an artist I find myself being pulled in multiple directions. During my college years I studied as many art forms as I could, from printmaking to illustration to ceramics. Since 2016 I've been building up a business creating figurative works on commission - mostly pet portraits, but also human portraits and the occasional house. However, when not working on those, I've found myself increasingly drawn toward the abstract, and the catharsis of expressing myself through shape, line, color, and texture. I love experimenting with different media, and am currently working on finding ways to bring together these different areas of my art practice!

DEB PALMER ART
Deb is a self-taught artist here in Lafayette. She finds inspiration from Colorado's amazing beauty, whether taking walks around town or romping in the mountains and simply watching the sunrise & sunset explode the sky with color! This inspiration is reflected in her landscape paintings. Deb has fallen in love with the medium of watercolor - a journey of color and magic on paper. There is nothing else like it! Her heart sings with each stroke of the paintbrush. Every painting has a piece of her heart in it and shapes her into the artist she was meant to be. Her hope is that you feel the same joy when you take a piece of her art home with you.

ESRA KELLERMANNS - ESRA’S STUDIO
I am an abstract artist working with mainly acrylics and a fine liner. I always had an interest in art but haven’t followed my desire to paint till 2017. It all started as therapy where I got lost in the acrylic pour technic which quickly developed into a much more expressive painting style. I use layers of paint mixed with water (sometimes a medium or sand) directly on the canvas to leave an organic mark. The later added lines are often just to add more texture and depth. My paintings give the viewer just enough detail to make up their own story in the painting. Which is also, why most of my paintings can be hung in any direction. Some say my art reminds them of topological maps while others see landscapes, rock formations, a universe or sea creatures. The list here goes quite long and I love hearing all the stories the viewer get out of them.

Lisa Chinnery Art
I find the magic and my muse in nature - trees, flowers, sunsets, sunrises, the moon, and more. I have always been creative and painted on and off throughout my life—in middle school, college, and with my then-young child. Six years ago, I picked up my paintbrush again and acrylic paints at a local studio. Two and a half years ago, I taught myself watercolors. I am currently exploring mono printmaking and multi-media collage. I love to play, experiment, and explore with water, different kinds of paint, paper, and mark-making techniques. I embrace imperfection and the magic of exploration.

I have been sewing since the age of 9. My grandmother taught me the essentials of good craftsmanship and encouraged my sense of exploration. Having run my own business for 35 years I now sew to satisfy my own curiosity. I find delight in using small pieces of vibrant fabrics to create useful and decorative fabric art. Come see my bowls, bags, bunnies and petite hangings.
