PORTRAITURE GALLERY

Portrait Gallery

Experience a compelling new , Portrait Gallery, exhibition showcasing portraits and figurative works by local artists. Presented in a range of media, this gallery show explores the art of capturing the human presence in all its forms. From bold expressions to subtle gestures, each piece offers a unique perspective on the figure and the story it tells. Don’t miss this celebration of creativity, identity, and the artists in our community.

Part of TAP’s vision is to bring artists, educators, students, and community members together to make, teach, present, and appreciate all forms of art. TAP creates opportunities for everyone to engage with the arts, from spectators viewing our gallery to learning in one of our many classes to sharing creative experiences with others.

Exhibition Jurors Robert Quimby and Carol Hein

Robert Quimby

Robert Quimby grew up in rural Western Nebraska, immersed in a ranching, farming, and small-town culture. He attended Midland College in Fremont, Neb., where he earned his bachelor of arts degree in Fine Art.

Though he worked in a variety of corporate situations–both as a creative director and a creator—pencil drawing has always been a way for him to express himself and relieve stress. Despite only working part-time on his art, he garnered local and national attention including the likes of Western Horseman magazine, the ProRodeo Hall of Fame, Phippen Art Show, Spirit of Cheyenne, and many other solo and juried exhibitions and residencies.

“This is what I know and it is my way of staying involved in this life,” Quimby says. “I only draw what I get excited about. For me, there’s no greater icon than the American cowboy.”

Carol Hein

In 2011, Carol left the corporate world and started painting in earnest, emerging herself in classes at the Art Student’s League of Denver and traveling to the Lyme Art Institute to study with impressionists from the Lyme art colony and visiting instructors from the Scottsdale School of Art. She began a year-long instructional course with Kevin Weckbach in 2014, and was fortunate enough to have been accepted into his continuing masters course of study.

Carol Hein is a full-time artist based in Castle Rock, Colorado, where she dedicates herself to her craft.Colorado allows her to be outside most days sketching, painting field studies and taking photo references before heading back to the studio. Oil painting has long been her passion and she feels privileged to have been mentored by some of the country’s leading artists. Carol’s work has landed in beautiful homes all across America.
