Crystal is known for her stunning fine art paintings, sculpture and jewelry. Growing up in Durango “behind a jeweler’s bench at the mouth of a canyon in SW Colorado” gave her plenty of opportunity to spend time exploring in the wilderness that she loves. Her art is her connection to nature but also to who we are as beings. She is currently living in Urbana, Illinois with her husband and working in her home studio there, creating new pieces of art that keep evolving. She has won many awards for her work and has been featured in Art Jewelry Magazine among others.

Join me for a conversation with local artist Ted Moore a man of many talents as a creator of woodwork and fine art, a musician and a teacher. Ted currently has an exhibit of his fine art work at SPACE Gallery in Denver, Colorado. The show is a two person exhibit that he shares with Anna Elis Johnson and is titled GROUNDED which runs through Saturday November 2nd. Ted’s own body of work is titled “The Alphabet of Trees” which highlights the storytelling nature of trees over the centuries. His artwork is inspired by landscape, culture and the history of the Southwest where we live, using wood panels, gold leaf and ink paint to create these unique and stunning pieces. Ted has an MBA and Phd in Medieval studies from The University of Toronto and an MFA from the Maine College of Art and Design. Ted’s style of artwork is rich in meaning using religious iconography in a secular way in historical types of cabinetry including triptychs, retablos, reliquaries and cabinets of curiosity. In this way he makes the mundane into the extraordinary mixing the traditional with contemporary aesthetics. His studio is next to his home in Hesperus, Colorado where he has lived for 8 years, an area that provides much of the inspiration for his work close to La Plata canyon where he can find the wise old trees and stumps in different stages of decay. In addition to all this Ted is a professional musician and drumming teacher at iAM Music and a member of the band Mojo Birds described as an eclectic flock of songwriters playing Funky Modern Roots Music. There is a balance in finding time to work on his fine art pieces during the summer months when he is traveling with his band.
