Artist John Fawcett
›› Three cowboys rode up to the café in Hahns Peak Village late one afternoon in the 1990s and shouted across the road to the waiter, inquiring whether the chicken dinner special was available that night. When she said yes, they hitched their horses to a post and came in to eat.
Western artist John Fawcett and his wife, Elizabeth, happened to be sitting outdoors at the café, having just walked land they had recently purchased and envisioning the day they could build on it. “It was just so cool. I knew right then this was going to be home,” John recalls.
The Fawcetts realized their vision in 1996, when they began spending their summers in North Routt County. They trailer their horses each spring from their farm in southeast Pennsylvania to their Colorado ranch.
It was in North Routt that John first met Steamboat icon Ray Heid, a winter Olympian and rancher, whose family owns Del’s Triangle 3 Ranch. John arranged to meet Ray early one morning when Ray was wrangling horses, and that event was the catalyst for “Triangle Three Roundup,” (oil, 20x16) featured on the cover of this edition of the Yampa Valley Arts & Culture Guide. John created the piece in 2015 for his retrospective exhibit at Steamboat Art Museum. It is one of several of John’s pieces that feature Ray and his horses.
The details in “Triangle Three Roundup” are so authentic that the viewer can taste the dust being stirred up by the horses’ hooves and feel the early morning chill in the air. The fact that the horses’ movements and musculature are so real is not surprising. Before becoming a full-time artist, John was a veterinarian for more than two decades.
“I feel so very fortunate to have had two professions that I love,” John says.
W hen he left his practice in 1996 to become a full-time artist, one of his goals was to translate his connection with horses and dogs onto canvas. He has also created an impressive collection of work around the theme of Native Americans and their history. He enjoys doing the research that is required to accurately portray their lifestyle and history.
W idely recognized as one of the foremost painters of Western art in America today, John has shown his work for several years at the Autry Museum's Masters of the American West, where he won the watercolor award four times and the Gene Autry Memorial Award in 2023. He is represented locally by Wild Horse Gallery. New work by John is also being featured in Steamboat Art Museum’s ski season 2024-25 exhibit, “Art in Sport.”

Welcome Letter
›› Welcome to Steamboat Springs, where arts, culture and heritage have been woven into the community fabric – well, forever. Indigenous nations, including the Ute people, were some of the original inhabitants of Northwest Colorado. They practiced beadwork, pottery and stewardship of this land. The impact settlers had on this region is far-reaching and shifted their way of life. As a community, we are committed to honoring the history that came before us and the future that is yet to be written. Educational opportunities like the “Ute Knowledge” exhibit at the Tread of Pioneers Museum are not to be missed.
This land is uniquely situated in a high Alpine valley providing panoramic views, lush vegetation and ribbons of waterways meandering through the pristine Rocky Mountains. The Yampa Valley’s natural beauty serves as inspiration to a vast array of creatives who capture it in their own special way. There are painters who paint magical moments, photographers who share the grit of cowboy life, dancers simulating the flow and flutter of aspen leaves, poets who communicate the everchanging community makeup and filmmakers who chase the adrenaline-filled mountain adventures. There is no shortage of opportunity to experience music, comedy and even spoken word at one of the many local bars, lounges and social spots both downtown and adjacent to Mount Werner. You will find restaurants and retail spaces offering a sampling of arts, like Bésame's late night Latin dance and Snow Bowl's year-round live music. Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp is a world-class destination for performing arts including education, community theater and equestrian programs. Yampa River Botanic Park has become a spot for yoga, music, stories and meditation. Weaving the power of the arts into the culture of businesses, nonprofits and government is one way we celebrate the soul of Steamboat Springs.
This is a place where you can slow down, smell the Alpine roses, take in a show, linger over a delicious meal and reconnect with each other with a backdrop like no other. We invite you to share in our efforts to enjoy and preserve the authentic character of the area through patronage to our museums, galleries, cultural nonprofits and creative businesses. It can enrich your life and deepen your love for this very special place. ■

›› After moving to Steamboat Springs, Ann Feldman’s life changed – that is, her artistic life. If asked 30 years ago where she would be, she might doubt the truth – the leap from a Chicagodweller with an MBA to a Colorado painter is a long one, even with detours: working for Project Hope in Costa Rica, traveling internationally for business and returning to Chicago. After her globetrotter lifestyle ended with the beginning of a family, she went to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago to be trained as a painter, finding her impressionistic style in the process. However, unlike the classical seascape-andcountryside-dominated view of impressionism, Ann moved into the wilderness of Colorado and
hasn’t looked back. “When I was in Chicago, I was mostly indoors in a very controlled environment. A person would sit under the lights for me and everything would be just so,” Ann says. “But I've always loved the West. I've always loved Colorado. From coming here every year for decades, I knew there was a draw out here. So when I came out here, all at once I decided I'm not going to be inside anymore. I'm going to go outside. So now I put all my painting gear into my backpack and I go outside. It's a completely different style and environment…it's a new challenge for me.”
Along with her new artistic practice came a refinement of her objective for her work. “My goal is to evoke some sort of emotional connection with the viewer, for them to feel like they are in that space and time and perhaps feel what I was feeling at that time,” Ann says. “I'm trying to bring an emotional response into my painting. I think that impressionism allows you to do that because there's unanswered questions in impressionism – it's a little fuzzy; the viewer has to bring in their own thoughts to finish up the painting, to say what's really happening here. There's a lot of open-endedness in that kind of painting.”

Art at the Park
›› The artistry in the Yampa River Botanic Park begins at the front gate: aspens weave their way up the metal, with the illusion of a river winding through their trunks. The aspens were created by Mountain Tap Metals from gas pipe, a slightly bendy material, with tack welding used to give the bark texture. The leaves were cut with a plasma cutter and the park’s executive director, Jennifer MacNeil, has been told that it could be a contender for the best piece of public art in Steamboat Springs.
It ’s an artistic start to a visit to the botanic park, which is continued in the flowering gardens and 27 pieces of art throughout the serene space.
“Horticulture, after all, is the art and science of displaying plants,” Jennifer says. “We’re an outdoor museum, a collection of living plants, and we also have a collection of 27 pieces of art.”
The Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden was designed by local landscape designer Kathy Olsen of Lotus Designs Studio. A ribbon of foxtail lilies runs through the garden and drumstick alliums grow tall throughout. “People call it the Dr. Seuss garden,” Jennifer says, “because it looks like something from 'The Lorax.'”
Maddy’s Garden of Light features all-white, flowering plants like tulips, peonies and irises spread out across a celestial-themed garden with stones depicting phases of the moon.
The Crevice Garden was created using a Czechoslovakian form of landscaping in which rocks are placed vertically into the ground. A mixture of soil and rock was put in between the rocks, and Alpine plants flower in the crevices. “This one is a visitor favorite because it’s so unique,” Jennifer says.
"The Joy of Life," by Hill Blackett, Jr., located next to Peter's Pond, is one of the most photographed pieces of art in the park.
New entry gates, often considered a work of art themselves, were installed in 2023 at both the main and side entrances to the park.
The Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden is often referred to as the "Dr. Seuss Garden" because the plants resemble the whimsical images from the popular children's books.
Throughout the gardens, benches beckon tired legs, fairy houses created by local children beg to be explored, and statues, like “Wings,” located on The Green, add to the artistry of the space. “Wings,” which depicts a child with an airplane, was done by Jim Price and is one of a handful of bronze statues found throughout the park.
Children are drawn to what is known as “hot frog,” sitting by Peter’s Pond and “The Turtle” is a favorite for climbing. But perhaps the most iconic piece of art in the park is “The Joy of Life,” a 7- foot sculpture of a person with outstretched arms, done by Hill Blackett, Jr. “If you had to think of an image of the Yampa River Botanic Park,” Jennifer says, “it’s this statue in front of the pond. It’s the most photographed piece in the park.” ■

Weaving the Future
The door to Wendy Kowynia’s backyard studio swings open revealing not one, but two looms – one hers, and the other, her mother’s. Weaving is an ancient skill, passed down through generations, so it was apt that Wendy’s mother was the one who taught her how to weave when she was 22. “I had studied painting in college but I didn’t know the why,” Wendy says. “I was overwhelmed by the blank canvas and the limitless variety of abstract forms that I could bring to it. There seemed no good reason why to make one mark versus another.” But when she sat down at the loom, she could immediately see the limitless forms that she could create. “They were all grounded in the abstract grid inherent to all textiles and the technicalities of the craft of weaving,” Wendy says. “I saw infinite possibilities within the narrow confines of the medium.” Wendy spent much of the following decades honing her craft. When she had children, weaving was her sanity. “I couldn’t have done it without it,” she says. “Raising kids is hard, hard work, whether you’re working and raising

kids or staying home and raising them – it’s all hard. Weaving was where I knew I could anchor myself.”
She started with wearables – scarves and shawls – which were popular at craft fairs and markets. But slowly, her interest changed into a purer art form and she began to pursue gallery exposure. “Art is meant to be shared and I wanted an audience,” she says. With the help of Steamboat Creates (formerly Steamboat Springs Arts Council) artist co-ops
"Drift," woven silk panels, 6 x 4 x 19, 2022.
(Pine Moon Fine Art, which began as the Artists’ Gallery, for example), Wendy learned how to present her work to the public. Since the early 90s, she has exhibited her textiles throughout Steamboat Springs, and she is currently represented locally by W Gallery and Space Gallery, in Denver.
“Fiber art is having a moment right now,” she declares, mentioning recent shows at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. “I think it tends to be marginalized and seen as women’s work and crafting and a nice little thing that women did at home. But now it’s being taken more seriously.”
Wendy has recently had a series of high-profile commissions: locally, in the oncology ward at UCHealth and in the Routt County Health and Human Services building, and nationally, in the lobby of Chicago's St. Regis hotel, the city's third tallest building.
Her next project will pay homage to the burn area in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. Hiking through the area, Wendy collects charcoal from the burn sites, grinds it into powder and mixes it into a cold wax medium, which has a paste-like consistency. She’ll then spread it on a panel and press a stiffened textile into it, causing the wax to ooze through the openings in the weave structure imitating the texture of burned wood. “I want to respond to it,” Wendy says of her latest idea. “There’s so much beauty in the death, but there’s also so much devastation.”
Being rooted in Steamboat, able to experience nature in multiple forms, is an inspiration to Wendy. “As an artist, I wanted to be in a place where nature was foremost,” she says. “I just don’t think I could do the work without it.” ■

Granting Madness A New Era Begins for Opera Steamboat
›› Julie Maykowski, Opera Steamboat's general director and CEO, has been revitalizing the organization since her arrival in December 2023. With a robust background in various facets of opera – from singing and stage directing to extensive administrative roles – Julie is set to lead Opera Steamboat into an exciting new chapter.
A significant milestone under Julie’s leadership is receiving a prestigious Opera America grant, awarded to support female stage directors and conductors. “The fact that Opera America thought our application was strong enough to fund is a huge deal for us,” Julie says. This grant will fund Amanda Berg Wilson, known for her expertise in outdoor immersive theater, as the stage director for "Welcome to the Madness," which is being performed in Steamboat Springs in August. “We are probably the smallest among the recipients, listed next to companies like the L.A. Opera, which is amazing,” Julie added.
"Welcome to the Madness" is an immersive opera commissioned to Denver-based composer Leanna Kirchoff and librettist Rachel J. Peters. The performance explores the story of Charlotte Perry and Portia Mansfield, founders of the Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp. “The entire audience, orchestra and cast will travel around the Perry-Mansfield campus, making it quite a unique production,” Julie explains.

Opera All Year
Under Julie's leadership, Opera Steamboat is transitioning to year-round activities, moving away from the traditional summer festival format. This shift aims to engage the community more consistently and to overcome the challenges of competing with Steamboat Springs’ popular summer outdoor activities.
Opera Steamboat’s educational outreach is expanding as well. The long-standing Opera in the Schools program, which tours through Routt, Moffat and Jackson counties, will be complemented by new initiatives like the student dress rehearsal for "Welcome to the Madness." This program will transport students from Hayden so they are able to attend the final dress rehearsal and participate in a Q&A session with the cast and creative team. Additionally, the organization is launching a youth opera program, starting with a summer camp that will integrate children into the main production, offering them invaluable performance experience.
“ We want to provide more performance opportunities and a chance for kids to learn music and how to perform,” Julie says. Under her dynamic leadership and with the support of the Opera America grant, Opera Steamboat is poised to become a vibrant, year-round cultural hub, fostering a deeper connection with the community through innovative programming and expanded educational opportunities. ■
