Visiting Artist: Colby Sanford

Colby A. Sanford is a figurative realist painter with a heart for finding poetry in the prosaic. Growing up in an unconventional home, he was encouraged to paint on the walls of his bedroom. Working in a restricted acrylic paint palette, Sanford is able to highlight the beauty in the mundane. Many works are paired with short-form poetry that serves to further parse extraordinary from the commonplace of everyday life.
