Western Art Collector | March 2022 Issue
Colorado’s landscape is diverse, from arid deserts to the snow-capped Rockies, to rivers, canyons and more. The state, with its towering mountain ranges, attracts visitors year-round for epic hikes, skiing and snowboarding. Possibly even more robust, though, is its arts and cultural scene—especially art with a Western flair.
The opportunities to immerse oneself in art are boundless, and throughout the state of Colorado, Western art lovers will find no shortage of talent. Peruse the following pages to learn more about galleries and organizations like Ann Korologos Gallery, Claggett/Rey Gallery, Sorrel Sky Gallery, Enver from Denver Fine Rugs & Restoration and Mudhead Gallery, as well as artists Don Woodard, Ryan Austin Lee and Sherry Cobb-Kelleher.

“We believe you will be transported by the insight and creativity of these artists, and the inspirational, timeless and vibrant works created,” says gallery owner Ann Korologos. “Our goal as a gallery is for everyone who visits to discover something new with each experience.”
