My best friend and I would pack up one of our cars with sleeping bags and hot tea and drive out on a county road into the mountains. We watched meteor showers and were wowed by the cloudiness of the Milky Way. Those moments were foundation al to who I have become — an introspecti ve person with a good idea of my place in the Universe. My concept for this mural is to portray the magic wonder that comes from stargazing around Fraser, and the transforma tional effect it can have on a person. The mandala pattern that accompani es it is representa tive of stargazing' s meditative qualities. I will use a mixture of roll-on paint, spray paint and paint marker to complete this mural.

I often also incorporate eyes into my work, and sometimes reflect scenery in them: as I did on my bench in Fraser with an eye reflecting the surrounding mountainshttps://frasermountainmuralfest.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/7-54f43046f16ce88ee5363d34dc0cc78a/2020/05/image.jpg Sean & Ana Yarbrough spyartwork@gmail.com (303) 817-3283 spyart303 https://spy-art.com/I have painted a number of murals in the Denver/Boulder area, the most recent being a collaboration with my wife Ana at a fitness and athletic studio/collective in Lodo. For this large 12 x 40 ft mural we chose to create a city like gridded landscape with a colorful mandala illuminating the cosmic night sky above. Ana and I are both accomplished painters with differing styles that are very complimentary when we collaborate. In 2018 I had a solo show at an 1800 square ft space in downtown Denver showcasing over 30 paintings I have completed in the last 6 years. I have won a couple of awards for juried gallery shows on the front range, and we have both studied with visionary painting masters Alex and Allyson Grey. We continue to build on and further explore our unique styles, while creating larger collaborative paintings together An enticing portrayal of the starry heavens of our night sky melding with our earthly plane of existence. We propose to paint a similar cosmic mandala to the attached photo (ConcreteC onsciousne ss) of our last mural, but instead of an urban city scape below we would paint a section of the continental divide that portrays the beauty of the Fraser valley and unique location of our home. The starry night sky above would be illuminated with aspects of geometry, the colorful milky way and possibly a subtle face of a fox or Ute Native American to add some history of our wonderful valley. We would also add to the landscape some of the local medicinal flora found in the valley, like Osha, Gentian, Yaro etc. Its important to have artistic reminders of our kindred connection to all things, especially the starry heavens above that can seem so distant. Carl Sagan said it best "The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself." With the light pollution from cities we are unable to view the stars as well as we once were, even in our remote mountain town. This mural will lift the veil, and remind us that the stars are still shining bright, above us and within us. Eric Weatherford eric@oddwallpainting.com (217) 855-2652 ericweatherfordart https://www.ericweatherford.com/I am from Decatur, Illinois and have been creating art my entire life. I graduated from Millikin University in 2014 with my Bachelor’s in Studio Art. Upon graduating, I have continued to paint using mostly acrylics and have displayed my work at galleries all across the country. After winning the Decatur Mural Project in 2017, I created my business, Oddwall Painting, after receiving a high demand for hand painted murals in my area. I have painted nearly 30 murals to date that range in all shapes and sizes, with the largest being well over 3,000sqft. Majority of my work can be found in central Illinois as well as St. Louis, MO and one in Reno, NV.My concept pays respect to the beautiful landscape and wildlife that Colorado has to offer in a cartoon inspired, "Picasso-esque" fashion. I would intend to paint a deconstructed moose that resembles the famous 'Bullwinkle' cartoon character, with a background that portrays the landscape you'd find while hiking through the Rockies. The goal of this painting is to spark that sense of wonder that we all experienced as children, while hopefully inspiring everyone to get out and enjoy what Mother Nature has to offer. This is a fun and interesting design that would be 100% "selfie" worthy. Thank you for your time and consideration!https://frasermountainmuralfest.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/7-54f43046f16ce88ee5363d34dc0cc78a/2020/05/Weatherford_Concept.jpg Mohit Knack mohitknack@gmail.com (882) 695-0288 Mohit Knack https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmpoVevqUFK3GwezWHyK4uw He is the winner of numerous (more than 300 awards) esteemed national and international awards in painting like Two PRESIDENT AWARDS in 2007 & a gold medal in National Child Award for Exceptional Achievement in 2011.

My work will be made with aerosol and acrylic paint and will incorporat e abstract geometric forms and patterning with bold colors held within a circle. I would be a great fit for this festival because I have been sharing my work for 10+ years through paintings and murals, and I feel an extreme connection to the City of Fraser and the land of The Fraser Valley. Everything from the smell of the air, breathtaki ng views, the community , hospitality, the food, the art, it all comes together to create a magical place unlike any other I’ve experience d. Last year I was selected to be a featured artist at FMMF, and it would be an honor to come back for another year, bigger and better than the last. My mural got a lot of attention at last year’s celebration because it reminded people of the quilt patterns and barn art that they admire so much around the area. I hope to continue this connection in my mural this year and bring people together again to discuss the history of these patterns and contempor ary ways we can use them to design brilliant compositio ns based in geometrica l abstraction . The proposed designs come from my series Origin Point. These are the final three circles in my series, which represent the action of reflection. Included in this packet you will see my artist statement for this series. The circle’s diameter would measure between 6-8’ depending on the size of the wall provided. I am also proposing an element of community involveme nt by providing blank coloring book pages of the outline of my design that can be colored on site and/or taken home. I will also do a short demonstra tion and artist talk during the final day to explain my ideation and process as well as to facilitate a narrative and conversati on around the work itself. Central to my practice is the question of how we as humans got here, and where we are going as a species, within this spiritual experience we call life. The intention of the work is to function as a mirror for the viewer, and let them contempla te their own origin and ending, as their eyes start to piece together the similar elements within themselves and the compositio n. We may all be on different paths, but it is my belief that every road leads home. I really feel my work would be a great fit for the festival this year due to the works vibrant colors, intricate detail, thought-pr ovoking subject matter, local relevance, and connection to the community . The mandalas serve as reminders of the hidden connection s we all share, and these murals would help the community come together to reflect, while also inspiring creators of all ages. Over the last few years I have been tuning my craft more than ever, as I prepare to graduate from MSU Denver this spring with a BFA in painting, and I plan to bring all the tools that I have been learning into my murals and into Fraser Mountain Mural Festival 2020. Thank you for your time and considerati on, John Zeman (Eagle Flame) Origin Point Central to my practice is how humanity comes to understan d themselves through creation, and where they are headed within this spiritual experience that we call reality. Since there are no definitive answers on this subject, I was called to turn inward and form a spiritual practice of intuitive creation. By opening my consciousn ess while making art, I can enter a channeled state where the subconscio us takes over and brings hidden ideas to the surface. This open-ende d visual exploratio n of life’s deeper meaning is manifested by tapping into a meditative flow state brought on by repetitive action and using autonomis m to create the designs. Origin Point focuses on becoming whole and finding meaning through reflecting on experience s and realization s of unity. Using patterning to form a narrative, this series explores spiritual connection rooted in repetitive processes and sacred geometry. The paintings, the central most nine laid out in a grid, take the viewer from birth through death with colorful shapes and abstracted forms that grow in complexity and clarity as the series moves forward in time. The three sections that divide this work, starting from the top, represent origin, experience , and reflection. They are accompani ed by larger paintings which signify a past and future, alluding to infinity, on both sides. Origin Point draws the viewer into the power of creation and the infinite possibilitie s within by using archetypal imagery, symbology and an evocative color scheme. The paintings avoid figural representa tion in order to relieve the viewer from their current reality and lead them into a stimulating world of contempla tion and connection s. The intention of the work is to function as a mirror for the viewer, and let them contempla te their own origin, ending and place within the collective as their eyes start to piece together similar elements within themselves and the paintings. Origin Point inspires viewers to take a deeper look at themselves through varying stages of growth and reflect on how it all comes full circle to end in the same place or “point”. We may all be on different paths, but every road leads home.

Architecture degree & masters special education and literacy. We have done ski chairs for Fraser beer co, hernandos, and two private chairs. Extensive installation and mural experience private and public.Our concept displays various aspects of life from the past, present, and looking toward the future. The main parts are the hands embracing one and other, historic buildings, the rivers and the mountains, and the wolf howling (at 8). The wolf howling to symbolize the togetherness of our small community as well as looking to the stars conceptualizing and pondering our future. The buildings so we remember our past and embrace the beautiful history we have here as well as embracing ourselves and our elders pictured by the hands below. And of coarse the outdoor element to this wonderful place pictured with the divide and rafters in the middle ground (possibly other activities smaller like skiing, biking, camping, disc gold, etc.). While the whole picture is framed in the negative space of the full moon and night sky.https://frasermountainmuralfest.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/7-54f43046f16ce88ee5363d34dc0cc78a/2020/05/1B92A992-FF94-4D4D-B72C-0441085A4C66.png AIko/ Corinne Szymczak/ Trujillo kococollabmanagement@gmail.com (224) 231-9086 @kococollab, @aikoyougo, @corinnebeebop http://www.aikoyougo.com We have a 675 square foot mural on a Greyhound station in the RiNo Arts District in Denver We did two indoor murals for a Elevate Smoke Lounge in Westminster. 18 square feet and 12 square feet. We were commissioned by Montucky Cold Snacks to do a mural at the venue called Your Mom's House in Denver which was about 216 square feet We are currently finishing up an 8ft by 4ft mural for The Lincoln in Cheyenne Wyoming Other - Please describe your theme in concept box.Our work is rooted in the throes between chaos and serenity. The piece we are submitting dives into the concept of nature verse self. The figure is placed in a calamity of forces yet she is staying afloat and calm in her demeanor. The north start is brilliant and the background bright although a fleet of clouds brings with them a storm. We seek to embody the sublime essence of nature and how we as humans perceive, react and reflect with each moment. The interaction between her and the water stems from her finger tip representing the ripple effect she holds in the world. Watching it rain as the sun still shines- and forming rainbows before our eyes.https://frasermountainmuralfest.com/wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/7-54f43046f16ce88ee5363d34dc0cc78a/2020/05/FRASERMURALFEST.jpg Julia Williams julia@thedesignosaur.com (303) 819-7920 thedesignosaur https://www.thedesignosaur.com/I've been painting murals in homes and businesses in Colorado for the past several years.

I have a BFA in painting from the University of Texas, and also studied at the Art Students League in New York. In addition to some very large paintings, I’ve done murals for an elementary school and private homes. My work has been shown at the Evergreen Arts Center, CORE Art Space outside Denver and RGallery in Boulder. A current resume is available on my website. My primary practice is in Philadelphia, where I show regularly, but I’ve been coming to Grand County for over 10 years, and own a condo in Winter Park. In addition to skiing, hiking and horseback riding, I do watercolors, sketches and photographs of the landscape when I’m here, then translate them to canvas paintings and works on paper. The landscape of the Rockies has been my primary subject for several years. I’ve done many paintings of Byers Peak, Parry Peak, James Peak, the Continental divide, and more. I often paint abstracted or expressionistic interpretations, exploring a calligraphic approach that results in a hyper-kinetic landscape, which I think expresses the unpredictable energy of the wilderness. Please see my website or Instagram page for examples of recent artworks. In this unprecede nted time of the coronaviru s pandemic, art is needed more than ever to inspire, sustain, and communic ate with people directly, in a meaningful way. My subject is Doc Susie Anderson, familiar to most Fraser residents, but maybe not as much to all the visitors who come for the mountain activities. My ideausessymbolsandimagined historical scenes in a colorful piece that relates to today’s world. At the top of my proposed mural, a banner proclaims the title. Just below that is a view of Fraser’s iconic Byers and Ptarmigan peaks, along with stylized fir trees which symbolize the historic importanc e of timber. The central oval compositio n contains 2 vignettes of Doc Susie‘s life divided by an abstractedriver,whichserves asanother symbol of the Fraser river valley. The river motif ends at Moffat Tunnel, and under it, the doctor’s wonderful quote from the tunnel’s grand opening. The quote illustrates her solidarity with the workers, who were often her patients during the tunnel’s dangerous constructio n. On the left of the river is a depiction of a well-docu mented story that Doc Susie’s 1st patient was in fact a horse.On theright, shechecks athermome ter during the 1918 flu pandemic, an obvious connection to the current coronaviru s situation. An anxious patient watches while a family member worries behind him, a bible visible on a side table. Below these two scenes are explanator y titles, and the backgroun d color at the bottom mirrors the sky above. The entire mural uses simplified shapes, color, and loose, expressive marks that invite theviewer toexplore thedetails. The jpg provided is a photo of a 4’x4’ painting, which easily enlarges to 8’x8’. On the first painting day, I plan to do an under-pain ting coat, then transfer & enlarge the compositio n using a grid. I’ll use mural markers over an initial charcoal drawing, and then begin “coloring it in.” The painting process will continue on the second day, and the final step will be adding colorful,energeticmarks, asignature“dance of color” that can be seen in much of my work. The two vignettes are not only interesting moments from long ago, but they are especially designed to appeal to children. Kids will respond to the horse (another part of Fraser life, with the rodeo, the YMCA program, & the many ranches); and children today are all too familiar with a mysterious illness called covid, andpeoplewearingmasks. Ibelieve that against the familiar, beautiful mountain backdrop, what is scary becomes more understan dable. The same mountains we can see from almost anywhere in town continue to watch over the valley, and life goes on. These two scenes, along with the tunnel quotation, might even inspire children and adults to find out more about the extraordin ary life of Dr. Susie Anderson. My vision is forpeople toenjoy afun, engaging painting that celebrates the history and beauty of Fraser. Thanks for the opportunit y.

The two of us are professional artist that live and work in Colorado. I have lived here for 20 years and Remington for 15 years. We have worked together, as solo artists and at one time as members of an artist collective. We have created over 80+ murals, many of our most well known works can be found in Denver, Boulder and the surrounding area. We have also been able to bring our creativity to many places outside of the state of Colorado. You can find our murals in New Orleans, California and several in Miami's Wynwood neighborhood. Our murals often reflect realistic plant life and sometimes animals. That subject matter is blended and balanced with our personal contemporary fine-art and street-art styles by way of colorful and complex pattern work and design. We kindly request your consideration to be a part of the Fraser Mountain Mural Fest. Other - Please describe your theme in concept box. Our concept will be aligned with our most current art direction and intentions. Realistic floral element(s) most likely ones that can be found in the Fraserarea, willbe themain focusof our work.

I am home based and love to paint realistic art. Landscape, wildlife, portraits, vintage cars/trucks, neorealism, and sometimes I dabble with charcoal. I also love to paint traditional tattoo art.
