AARP's My Generation to film Sandhi Schimmel Gold at Translations Gallery

We are proud to announce that AARP will be filming during our upcoming Exhibition Opening with artist Sandhi Schimmel Gold for their tv show My Generation. "Each week, My Generation features celebrities and nationally known experts covering issues from health and money to relationships and volunteering. The program includes award-winning stories of reinvention, pursuing your passion, and making a difference" (from aarp.org).

Sandhi's unique approach to the contemporary portrait with use of recycled materials has put her in the spotlight. She recently had a piece acquired into the Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum in Florida. She was also named one of 5 Artists to Watch in the March 2010 issue of Phoenix Home & Garden. The large banner of Pixie is still up on the back of the Buell Theater on Champa Street in Denver, Colorado. The Exhibition Opening will be August 6th, 5:00 - 8:30pm.

Translations Gallery Artist Laura Carpenter is an "Artist to Watch"

We brought Laura Carpenter on as an represented artist earlier this year, and were pleased to find out that she was named an "Artist to Watch" in the February 2007 issue of Southwest Art Magazine. She is currently working on her MFA at Colorado State University. Her painting has progressed from vast landscapes with dark palettes to close-up landscape views with bright palettes. The piece shown above, Path, is a large 72" x 84". She works in both large and small scale and captures an intimate yet vibrant landscape in all sizes. We will have Laura's work on view at the gallery during the month of August with a reception on the evening of August 6th with the artist in attendance.

Huge Banner of Sandhi Schimmel Gold's Pixie Still Up

In January of this year, we announced that the Denver Theater District was installing a huge banner of Pixie, an amazing mosaic portrait by Translations Gallery artist Sandhi Schimmel Gold. We are proud to announce that the banner is still up on the back of Buell Theater on the 1300 block of Champa Street in Downtown Denver. If you haven't had the chance to see it, drive down Champa too see this amazing installation. Pixie is alongside 2 other banners from Walker Fine Art and T Gallery.
