This one-man show will feature painter and sculptor Don Woodard’s unique high and low relief, 3-dimensional paintings and mixed media artworks. The show will include his Pack-Horse Adventure Collection, artworks from his National Park Art Collection, and other select artworks.
Don has been creating his mixed media, relief style of artwork for over 20 years and has been showing his work at nationally juried art shows since 2012. Creating 3-dimensional artwork is Don’s passion and it allows him to blend detailed wood carving with fine painting, which is being well received by art collectors.
Woodard has been leading pack-horse trips into the Rocky Mountain Wilderness for about 40 years. He has extensive experience riding in the mountains and has seen pristine wilderness country few people have ever seen. The pictures included in his Pack Horse Adventure Collection are taken from various pack-horse trips over the years.
Many of the artworks created by Don have been inspired from events that have occurred during these rides. From scenes of wildlife, to western themes (and mis-adventures), to landscapes, they all have been experienced in person.

April 27, 2024: Penny Bortz “Roots” Photography Exhibition
Penny Bortz has found inspiration in photographing tree roots for some time. In what she calls her “flagship” photo, she saw a rootball just hanging on the side of a rocky ledge and it spoke to her imagination. As she documented the sight with her camera, it prompted her to wonder what must have happened there – wind, rain, drought, and GROWTH.
To Bortz, this was the key – growth-those roots went down deep. She says, “May this be a challenge for all of us. Putting “ROOTS” down deep enough to grow and endure the storms of life.
This Exhibit showcases many of Bortz fascinating photographs of roots, displaying for the viewer the hidden life-sustaining systems that lie beneath.
