This year we’re proud to announce that Diana Woods has been awarded the Fine Art Connoisseur “Club” Award at the 2023 Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale!
The Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale is an annual event and gallery exhibition associated with the National Western Stock Show (non-profit) in Denver, Colorado. Taking place each January, the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale has become one of the finest exhibitions of contemporary Western art in the United States, featuring an eclectic mix of styles and mediums, with established artists to unknown talent.
The exhibit is only open during the National Western Stock Show which takes place each January for 16 days. The art gallery is located on the 3rd level of the Expo Hall at the National Western Complex, 4655 Humboldt St., Denver, Colorado. There is no extra fee to get into the art gallery, but there is a grounds admission charge for the Stock Show which is different every day.
Diana Woods is a painter and sculptor living in Western Colorado, inspired by her surroundings on the border of the Colorado National Monument. Her work reflects her deep belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the divine spirit in nature. Woods received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and a minor in art history and equestrian studies from William Woods College.
Originally from Nebraska, the stories and inspiration behind her work stem from her childhood memories “growing up on the back of a horse” and her grandfather’s tall tales of the Wild West. The results are rich in narrative and allegorical imagery that illustrate the parallels between human experience and the natural world. Riding her horse in the canyons is Diana’s form of meditation and the herds of wild horses on the Little Book Cliffs range near her home spark her imagination. Myths and archetypal symbols often surround the stories in her work.
