LOCAL ARTISTS Q&A WITH THREE LOCAL ARTISTS WHOSE WORK IS ADDING COLOR TO THE WORLD
APRIL 2017
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART My style is probably somewhere between Impressionism and Realism. The biggest influence on my style is from painting for five years exclusively, outdoors from life. Since the light changes you have to paint very directly and quickly.
JAY MOORE jaymoorestudio.com 303-588-4152 7 CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE
WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOUR ART HAS BEEN DISPLAYED My work has been displayed in a few art museums including the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles, and the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis. My paintings are in the permanent collection of the Denver Art Museum and Pioneer Museum in Colorado Springs and the U.S. Capital in the office of a past Senator and Cabinet Member. Walmart Chairman Rob Walton and past rock and roll legend Joe Cocker also collected my work. WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST My favorite part about being an artist is to put everything you have into a painting that is very personal to you, and then have someone who you have never met, respond to it on that same deep personal level. Meeting the collectors is critical for me. WHAT ADVISE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A NEW ARTIST My advice for young artists is paint every day, seek out the masters of your genre, and visit as many museums as you can to see the work in person. Set goals that stretch yourself and one day you might be hanging next to them.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST My favorite artists are a small group of artists from Russia from 100 years ago called the “Itinerants.” They were well trained, stressed painting from life and painted like they didn’t need the money although most were very poor. Artists like Isaac Levitan, Ivan Shishkin and Ilya Repin are at the top of the list. WHAT IS AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU Many of my peers have no other interests or hobbies, their whole life is their art. For me, Art is only a part of my life. I have a wife and two teenage boys and love to climb fourteeners, catch trophy trout on a fly rod, scuba dive, play golf, tennis and many other sports with them.
A September Morning - Oil on Canvas
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PAINTING I had been drawing and working with clay since I was a five or six years old. I sold my drawings to classmates in elementary school for 25 cents. Then in High School my teachers would purchase my assignments from Art class. Straight out of High School, I attended the Art Institute of Colorado. To answer your question, I’ve been painting about 40 years.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PAINTING I had been painting for 50 years. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART My work is best described as abstract painting, not analytical, critical or conceptual, but emotional and spiritual.
WHAT IS AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU I came the U.S.A. in 1961 as a foreign student in order to study “acting.” The only reason I became a painter was that my English was not good enough for acting.
WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOUR ART HAS BEEN DISPLAYED International Art Festival, “Five Elements/One World,” at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, L.A., California in 2011. I was one of the 6 featured artists in the exhibition.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST Painting is just like breathing, without it, I would choke to death. Art also teaches me the importance of sincerity, humility, and imagination. WHAT ADVICE WOULD GIVE TO A NEW ARTIST 1. enjoy the process of creating without worrying about the outcome. 2. imagination is more important than knowledge of techniques. 3. always be sincere to yourself and express your feelings in your work, either in abstract or representational art WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS Ms. Chiyomi Longo, Santa Rosa, CA (http://www.chiyomilongo.com) Ms. Carlene Francis, Denver, CO (www.carlenefrancis.net)
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PAINTING I have been painting as a professional artist since 1984. The first art gallery that represented my work was DeColores Art Gallery in the Cherry Creek Shopping district in Denver.
WHAT IS AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU I love reading about, studying and visiting sites of the historical American West.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART My style of painting leans towards impressionism/ Naturalism. WHERE IS THE MOST INTERESTING PLACE YOUR ART HAS BEEN DISPLAYED My works have been exhibited in France and Spain. I also had some paintings that were on display at the Governor’s office in the State Capitol building in Denver, Colorado…and of course, my current art studio in the old School House on Mainstreet in Parker is pretty unique and interesting.
CHAVEZ lorenzochavez.com 720-202-0757
WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE ARTISTS I was raised in New Mexico and was first inspired by the Taos Society of Artists. Later, it was the French and American Impressionists that really got me fired up. Now I am influenced by all types of art forms.

WHAT ADVICE WOULD GIVE TO A NEW ARTIST Start now...the sooner the better. Study art from professional artists of note whose works inspires you. Drawing capability is very important to one’s success and plan on a ten year time commitment before an art career can start having traction.
Afternoon Light - Pastel
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT BEING AN ARTIST It is an ever evolving process of working and learning and being inspired.

The Trick to a Great Time The Theatre of Dreams N
ot many people realize there is a hidden gem here in Castle Rock that has amazed audiences for the last fourteen years. Theatre of Dreams opened in April of 2003 and is one of 4 venues of its kind in the country. Nestled in historic Castle Rock, audiences can come enjoy this intimate, 72 seat theatre that features world class magicians, mind readers, jugglers, ventriloquists, circus artists, comedy shows and talented variety artists from around the world. Owners Joe Givan and Carol Massie are world class performers in their own right. They just taped an act for an international television show to be aired this summer. (They can’t disclose the show name until it airs…a magician’s secret!) Carol and Joe both had successful careers in magic when they met. Joe started magic at the age of four and Carol began performing magic in college. The first time Joe and Carol worked together was on “World’s Greatest Super Magician’s,” a TV show in Tokyo, Japan. Their first U.S. performance was at the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood, the “Magic Castle.” For 3 years, they traveled doing Performing Art Centers and Casino shows, including their own show at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Together, they have won 3 World Championships in magic competitions. Once they decided to join forces, they created their story line magic act, the Dream Masterz. Desiring a theatre of their own, they opened Theatre of Dreams where they could feature their own show as well as other world class performers.
APRIL 2017
In addition to being able to enjoy family friendly shows, you can also host holiday parties, team building events, private gatherings and celebrations of any kind where entertainment is included by Dream Masterz Magic
11 CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE
Team. Rent the theatre as a meeting place, for weddings, rehearsal dinners or even a family party that can be catered or you can bring your own food and beverages. Aspiring magicians can have their dreams come true as well. Theater of Dreams also offers Wizard Camps taught by Joe and Carol themselves. At the end of each session, the students do a recital show onstage especially for family and friends! Students ages 7-70 attend these magically wonderful camps, proving that magic is for the young and the young at heart. Back in 2003, the Rocky Mountain Newspaper featured Joe Givan and Carol Massie on the cover of their weekend “Spotlight” section with the caption, “QUITE A TRICK,” expressing that it might be a bit difficult opening a theatre focusing on magic in a small town such as Castle Rock, but over a decade later and they are still delighting audiences and now have entertainment colleagues requesting to come perform at the Theatre of Dreams. You’d pay 4 to 5 times the ticket price to see some of these talented acts at other venues, on cruise ships, in casino showrooms or other performing art centers. Come see them up-close and personal at the Theatre of Dreams in Castle Rock! They make your entertainment dreams come true, after all they are the Theatre of Dreams! Theatre of Dreams is located at 735 Park Street, Suites C & D in Castle Rock

Culture OF CASTLE ROCK THE CASTLE ROCK HISTORICAL SOCIETY & MUSEUM PRESERVING THE
I
n 1991, a group of concerned citizens formed the Castle Rock Historical Society in order to highlight the rich history of Castle Rock and work to preserve the historic buildings that make up the heart of what is downtown Castle Rock. They began organizing house tours in historic neighborhoods, scheduling bus tours and speakers and worked to get their non-profit status as an organization. Just over twenty years ago, the Historical Society was able to purchase the old Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Depot and created a museum for Castle Rock and its neighboring areas. The Depot was restored by the historical society and still retains the original interior features including the ticket window and baggage area, complete with 125 years of graffiti on the walls.
APRIL 2017
Along with several permanent exhibits at the museum, new exhibits also find their way into the museum for the enjoyment and education of visitors. On April 8th, the museum will celebrate the opening of a new World War I exhibit from 11:00am4:00pm. The opening will include WWI re-enactors and other festivities. In addition to the exhibits at the museum, the historical society also offers free, monthly presentations. April’s offering is a presentation by Dr. Jack Ballard on the history of Fort Logan Army Base. Many are familiar only with the cemetery at Fort Logan, but there is a rich history to this once-bustling Army post. Dr. Ballard holds a PhD in American History from UCLA, served our county in the US Air Force and also taught history at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. His evening with the historical society on April 13th begins with refreshments served at 6:45, followed by his presentation beginning at 7pm at the Philip S. Miller Library.

Senior Life Expo
Bringing All Things Senior Together in One Place
SENIOR LIFE EXPO SEMINAR SCHEDULE Additional programming will be added, see Program Book at event
2:30 PM
l “Navigating the Senior Care Maze” by Phil Hotaling of Answers for Senior Care l “Wills, Trusts & Estate Planning” by Darrell Gubbels of Gubbels Law Office Everyone knows the population is aging. 10,000 boomers turn 65 every single day in our country. The senior population in Douglas County is increasing as citizens are aging and more seniors are moving here to be close to family. Seniors in our communities very much have the desire to continue to make informed choices, contribute to their community, continue to learn, and prepare for their future. However, figuring all this out can be a daunting task, even to those who have lived here for years, because so much is changing. In response to this growth, more government programs are being offered, and many businesses and non-profit organizations are dedicating themselves to the senior population in the Douglas County area. The goal of the upcoming Douglas County Senior Life Expo is to bring the seniors and the providers of services together in one place. This free “all things senior” event will be on Thursday, April 20th, from 2:00pm-6:00pm, at the Douglas County Events Center, located at 500 Fairgrounds Road in Castle Rock (corner of Plum Creek Parkway and Perry Street.) While the location is in Castle Rock, it is a Douglas County-wide event with partners representing the entire county and metro area. Seniors, and their family members, will have a chance to speak with representatives from more than seventy providers of services representing many facets of
senior life including housing, home care, health care, transportation, government services, insurance, senior organizations, senior assistance, funeral and cremation services, things to do to be involved in the community, ways to stay active, and much more. Even if services are not needed now, it is valuable to know where to find help before the time it is needed. Attendees will be provided a program book with contact information by category for all partners, providing a wealth of information and resources. There will also be free seminars with topics of interest to seniors by leading experts in their fields. These will run on the half-hour beginning at 2:30 pm. Written materials, give-aways and door prizes will be found throughout the exhibit hall. Concessions will be available for purchase. The event is organized by the Castle Rock Senior Activity Center. “About 500 people came to the Senior Life Expo last year, and we were honored by the gratitude of those families that were able to get information about assistance for a loved one,” explained Debbi Haynie, Executive Director. “The organizations that have partnered with us for this event truly care about the senior community, and want to make life better for senior citizens.” Event planners expect that the Expo will continue to grow in coming years. More information can be found at www. castlerockseniorcenter.org or 303-688-9498.

A Celebration of
Extraordinary
Women
By Tiffany Grizzle
The 2nd Annual Women of Achievement Awards
Last spring, I found myself at a large table, having wonderful conversations over a beautiful lunch with several people I had the pleasure of meeting just that afternoon. Ours was one of many tables in a much larger banquet room and throughout the afternoon, we had the honor of being introduced to neighbors in our community who were doing absolutely amazing things; things that we may never had learned of if it weren’t for the reason we were all gathered there – the Light ‘n’ Heart Awards and Women of Achievement Luncheon presented by the Rotary Club of Parker Cherry Creek Valley. Like most people, I believe, I try and do what I can for others. I volunteer at my children’s schools; I participate in fundraisers and charitable events and donate my time or money when and where I can when I am moved to do so. I realize I can always do more but I was completely awestruck by just how much more is possible. The women recognized at last year’s awards, especially the young women in our community, and the work they are doing within the community is absolutely astonishing.
APRIL 2017
This year’s 2nd Annual Women of Achievement Luncheon also serves as a 30 year celebration for all Rotary International Women. The Light ‘n’ Heart Awards were created to recognize the achievements of women in Douglas County for their leadership and service. Meeting in the Rotarian spirit of “Service Above Self,” this very special afternoon is sure to be another unforgettable event, and one that you will not want to miss. Tickets are available now (www.WomenAchieve.net) and this event is open to all community members and
21 CASTLE ROCK MAGAZINE
businesses. This year’s incredible nominees, none of whom asked to be put in the spotlight, will be most humbly accepting the recognition they so genuinely deserve. Light ‘n’ Heart Awards will be presented to deserving nominees in the following categories: Achievement in Innovation, Achievement in Leadership, Achievement in Organizational Enhancement, Achievement in Service to Others, Mentoring Women, Young Women of Achievement & Unsung Heroine The afternoon will include a Proclamation given by Rotary District 5450 Governor Bill Downes, and keynote addresses by Former 5450 Governor Mary Kay Hasz, Rotary President Mike Dunkel, Rotary Women Past, Present and Future and former Rotary President and Parker Mayor Mike Waid. As someone who thoroughly enjoyed last year’s luncheon and ceremony, I would highly encourage attending – you’ll meet some remarkable people and leave incredibly inspired, perhaps wanting to lend your talents and time to one of the recipient’s causes or be motivated to pursue your own passion.
The Women of Achievement Awards take place Wednesday, May 3rd 11am1pm at the Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree. For Tickets, go to www.WomenAchieve.net
