Gallery & Studio Information

Colter May // April 26 – June 6
Live Artist Demonstration // April 26

In the quiet of the studio, I find myself drawn to the unexpected. My process is messy, instinctual, and always evolving—less about control, more about discovery. I work with raw materials like fine sand, natural clay, and charcoal, not because they’re easy, but because they’re unpredictable. They crack, crumble, shift—and in doing so, they mirror the landscapes I’m trying to understand.

I think a lot about the early explorers of the American West—how they stepped into unfamiliar terrain with little more than curiosity and grit. My work is rooted in that same spirit. Every painting is an expedition. I experiment with layering, texture, and pressure until something reveals itself. The surfaces become rough, weathered, almost geological, inviting not just to the eye, but to the hands. These pieces aren’t meant to sit behind glass; they’re meant to be felt.

To me, painting isn’t about perfection. It’s about pushing into the unknown and letting the materials speak. The result is something ancient and contemporary all at once.
