"October Morning" by Karen Vance

Artists and Galleries


“Living in Colorado's Winter Park/Fraser Valley for 18 years has had a profound influence on my work," explains  top award winning artist Karen Vance. "There is a wonderful painting everywhere I look. I’ve painted all over the world — but when I paint here, it truly is a magical experience!”

Her paintings depict the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and Colorado landscape like no other — and the experts have taken note. Not only has she created the 1994 – 2006 Winter Park Resort Posters, and 28 other prints and giclées of the area, but her original oil paintings are popular on the national art scene.

Her successes include the People’s Choice Award and Honorable Mention 2005 Buffalo Bill Historical Museum Show, Cody, WY; Best of Show 2005 Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters in Winter Park; Best of Show 2004 Rocky Mountain Plein Air Painters Annual Show; Best of Show 2001 Colorado Governor’s Invitational, Loveland Art, Loveland, CO; Best Painting Award - People’s Choice, 2002 C.M. Russell Museum Show & Auction, Great Falls, MT. Karen has been featured in Southwest Art, Art of the West, Wildlife Art and Artist Magazines, and the hot new book Enchanted Isle: A History of Plein Air Painting on Santa Catalina Island.

Elizabeth's work has been displayed in galleries from New York to Las Vegas.  Her success and passion for her work motivated Elizabeth to open her own gallery near Colorado's favorite ski resort, Winter Park.  She enjoys meeting her customers face-to-face in her gallery. "It's nice to know where my paintings are going and to have the opportunity to meet the people that love them enough to take them home."
