"Art for the Sangres brings the community together to celebrate our love of the land while enjoying fine art and great food,” said Larry Vickerman, president of San Isabel’s board of directors. “Art and natural beauty go hand in hand, and nowhere is that more evident than at this very special event.”
This year’s show features 19 returning favorites and five new artists. Artwork includes oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, pencil drawing, photography, bronze and ceramic sculptures, forged-iron outdoor art and woodturning.
The 2017 featured artist is Sarah Woods of Westcliffe. Her love of wildlife and the Western landscape is evident in her work. Her oil paintings share strong, realistic color and crisp, dynamic lighting, which she attributes to her life at high altitude.
