Collecting art is a ‘fabulous journey’ Denver artist O’Hagan talks painting, collecting BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Art is the soul of a home.” This phrase struck Desmond O’Hagan the first time he heard it. “In a time when many things are mass-produced,” O’Hagan said, having art in one’s home “is the opportunity to own something that is one of a kind.” O’Hagan, of Denver’s Wellshire neighborhood, is an artist with a primary focus on using oils and pastels. He is naturally curious, he said, enjoys visiting art galleries and museums, and loves to travel. He describes his art as a combination of representational and abstract elements that include, and are inspired by, urban scenes, landscapes, interiors, architecture, figurative and capturing a moment. Influencers of his paintings include places across the U.S. and Europe, but Denver has always been a favorite of his, O’Hagan said. “Our downtown has so much character,” he said. “Since much of my art concentrates on urban and

interior views, I’ve always appreciated how Denver has renovated the older buildings and warehouses, which gives the city such unique and historical contexts.” O’Hagan, 62, moved to Denver in 1980 to study at the former Art Institute of Colorado. After
graduating, he landed a career in advertising doing graphic design, but decided to pursue a career in the fine arts — with much support from his wife — in 1986. Today, his art is in public-andSEE ART, P2

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock announced Nov. 23 that the City and County of Denver was implementing a mask mandate starting Nov. 24 that requires face coverings in most indoor settings for anyone ages 2 and up as a COVID-19 safety measure. “Absent additional statewide measures to address this current challenge, regional protective actions have become necessary to reduce the dangerous pressure on our hospitals,” Hancock said. The new public health order will last until January 3, 2022, and could be extended if necessary. Hancock called the order a “vax/ mask mandate,” because businesses and venues that require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 will not have to require masks. The mayor emphasized that the mask mandate would not be needed if more people had been vaccinated. “If other communities in Colorado and around the country took the affirmative steps we have taken around vaccines, the pandemic would be under control,” SEE MASKS, P11

private collections and museums in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Japan and China. In Denver, these include the Denver Public Library, Robert and Judi Newman Collection and Ballard Spahr LLP, among others. O’Hagan said he loves the idea that he creates something that will stand the test of time. But he realizes that the fine arts won’t survive without new and young collectors. He suggests that new collectors start locally — learning about local artists through the internet and local media, attending First Friday events and hearing about local artists through word-of-mouth from friends, colleagues and other acquaintances. “In my experience, and working with collectors of my art, they enjoy the uniqueness of acquiring a oneof-a-kind piece of art, that they connect with for a variety of reasons,” O’Hagan said. He added that it’s hard work to collect art. “Collecting art is a growing process,” O’Hagan said. “But it’s a fabulous journey.” O’Hagan is inviting the community to an open studio from noon to 4 p.m. Dec. 11 and 12 at his studio in Denver. Contact O’Hagan at desmond@desmondohagan.com for more information. To learn more about O’Hagan and his art, visit desmondohagan.com. Here’s a Q&A with O’Hagan: In what ways does Denver inspire you as an artist?

ists need that kind of positive visual stimulation to grow, regardless of what style or media you work in. I do believe the Denver community values art. There are many artists in Denver working at perfecting their craft, and the local community attends First Fridays and open studio walks. But there is also plenty of room for more participation. What do you hope that your art inspires in people? I hope the scene captures their attention as it did mine. It’s very rewarding when artist and viewer connect through a painting. What do you enjoy most about hosting people in your studio? That one-on-one connection is very important in showing my art to explain my interests and motivations in creating a specific piece. Face-to-face interaction is more satisfying for both the artist and collector. Much of it has to do with developing a rapport with the collector while discovering what paintings

sign that things are coming back to normal.” Colds and more serious bugs like respiratory syncytial virus, better known by the shorthand RSV, are also back. That may leave some to wonder: With all the covid prevention measures in place, how are kids sharing these things? Like the coronavirus, all these bugs depend on human sociability. Unfortunately, the measures that many reopened schools have taken to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 — masks, hand-washing, vaccination — do little to deter the spread of the head louse. However, physical distancing, such as spacing desks 3 feet apart, should be helping, if it’s actually happening. Lice are, in theory, harder to spread than the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 because proximity alone isn’t enough: They usually need head-to-head contact. If a kid gets lice, odds are it means that kid spent some quality time close enough to another kid for the parasite to make its move. (Researchers tend to agree that transmission via inanimate objects like combs and hats is minimal.) The head louse is not known for its fortitude or athletic prowess. It’s basically the couch potato of pests. Adults can’t survive more than a day or two without snacking on blood. Their eggs can’t hatch without the warmth of a human head, and will die within about a week if

likely that as other activities resumed — sleepovers, play dates, summer camp, family gatherings — the bugs prospered once more. Pollack once wrote in a presentation slide, “Head lice indicate that the child has friends.” Preschoolers tend to get the infestations the most “because they’re more cuddly,” said Julia Wilson, co-owner of Rocky Mountain Lice Removal in Lafayette. But she has also noticed a rise among teenagers, which she ascribes to taking selfies with pals. “You say to them, ‘Have you touched heads?’ and the teenager’s like, ‘No, never,’” said Wilson. “And then all of a sudden, they’re literally taking a selfie photo with their friends.” The Marker family isn’t sure where third grader Huntley’s lice originated. Perhaps a close friend or her dance team? The Markers spent more than $200 to get the four-person household checked — eyebrows and Dad’s beard included. Her dad and her preschool-aged brother were free of nits. But Holmes did find a couple of nits on Huntley’s mom, Paris. “You can just burn my whole head right now,” said Paris. After combing each head carefully, Holmes ended the session by hugging her customers goodbye, proof that she trusts her work.

from a louse-world-domination standpoint. But the critters have been bonding with us for tens of thousands of years. A little lockdown wasn’t going to end the romance. Federico Galassi, a researcher with Argentina’s Pest and Insecticide Research Center, found that strict early covid lockdowns did, indeed, lead to a decline in head lice among kids in Buenos Aires, but the bugs came nowhere close to being eliminated. His study found prevalence dropped from about 70% to about 44%. And one thing is clear: When people shut their doors and hunkered down in early lockdowns, the lice were right there hunkered down with us. When SaLeah Snelling reopened the doors of her Lice Clinics of America salon in Boise, Idaho, in May, she said, “the cases of head lice were heavier than we’ve ever seen.” And it wasn’t just one or two people in the household with lice, but the entire household. Now, Galassi and American louse workers say, infestation rates are back to pre-lockdown norms, despite school covid protections. Nix, a brand of anti-louse products, publishes a map that claims lice are bad right now in Houston, most of Alabama and New Mexico, plus Tulsa, Oklahoma. The map directs people to locations that carry its products since many parents use a DIY approach once they spy

the critter on a child’s head. Richard Pollack, chief scientific officer with pro-bono pestidentification service IdentifyUS, said most claims about louse prevalence are “marketing nonsense” from a largely unregulated industry focused on apparent infestations that often turn out to be just dandruff, glitter, hair spray, grass-dwelling springtail insects, innocuous fungus or even cookie crumbs. It’s possible that the recent in-
crease in business for professional nitpickery suggests that people are now comfortable seeking help outside the home rather than its being a sign of a surge in the bugs. While little research exists to confirm whether there is a rise in lice, Boswell, Pollack and even the National Association of School Nurses agree: The bugs aren’t likely spreading in the classroom because in-school louse transmission is considered rare. Instead, Boswell said, it’s more

Veteran news leader named Colorado Community Media editor Lisa Schlichtman will oversee CCM’s 8-county news operation STAFF REPORT
The next editor-in-chief of Colorado Community Media is Lisa Schlichtman, an experienced, award-winning news executive and an industry leader. CCM Publisher Linda Shapley made the announcement Nov. 29. “I’ve been familiar with Lisa’s award-winning leadership for a number of years, and to have someone with her passion and talent guiding our journalists at Colorado Community Media will mean great things as we look to grow our brand,” she said. Schlichtman, until recently the editor of the Steamboat Pilot & Today newspaper, joins CCM on Jan. 3. “I am thrilled to join Colorado Community Media and take on the new role of editor-in-chief,” Schlichtman said. “I look forward to sharing my years of experience in the newspaper industry with CCM’s talented team of reporters and editors with the goal of connecting the communities we serve through engaging, locally-focused content and impactful journalism.” Schlichtman will lead the news teams of CCM’s two dozen Colorado newspapers and websites as well as other publications. CCM was sold
earlier this year by Jerry and Ann Healey to The Colorado News Conservancy, a partnership of The Colorado Sun and the National Trust for Local News dedicated to fostering community journalism. CCM newspapers serve Adams, Arapahoe, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Jefferson and Weld counties. “Our publications have tremendous potential and reach, and it is exciting to be part of the newly established Colorado News Conservancy,” Schlichtman said. Schlichtman succeeds Mark Harden, who retired as CCM editor last fall but has been serving on an interim basis since July while the search was underway for a permanent editor. Harden steps down Dec. 16. “Lisa is just the sort of dynamic, innovative, experienced news leader who can help CCM reach its greatest potential,” Harden said. “I am so pleased she has agreed to join us and I wish her great success.” Since July 2013, Schlichtman has been editor of the Pilot & Today, a daily newspaper founded in 1885 and serving Steamboat Springs and Routt County. Schlichtman and her staff received the Colorado Press Association’s 2020 News Leader of the Year award for a multiplatform, in-depth reporting series, “Indivisible,” which focused on issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in Routt County and efforts to bridge divides. CPA
named the Pilot & Today the state’s best newspaper in its size class for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019. And the newspaper under Schlichtman also received the 2019 Presidential Award from the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance for its eight-week “In Our Shoes” series on sexual assault. Schlichtman previously was an editor, co-publisher and co-owner of various publications in Missouri, including the Monnett Times, Cassville Democrat and Wheaton Journal newspapers as well as Ozarks Outdoors and Connection magazines. She began her career as a reporter and assistant editor at the Cassville newspaper. In addition to her professional career, Schlichtman has been active in helping to support journalism and the news industry. She is a past president of the Colorado Press Association, the statewide news-media trade group, and is a board member of the Colorado News Collaborative, or COLab, a Denverbased organization that serves as a local media resource hub. Previously she was a vice president and secretary of the Ozarks Press Association. Schlichtman also has been engaged in community roles. She is a graduate of the 2014 Leadership Steamboat class, a past chairperson of the Cassville Planning and Zoning Commission, and a past board member of the Cassville and Monett Area Chambers of Commerce. A St. Louis native, Schlicht-

ere we are in another season of giving and receiving. The truth is that we are always in a season of giving and receiving, this time of year just amplifies WINNING the spirit of both. WORDS And we have all heard that it is far better to give than it is to receive. This may be true, but there are times when it is equally awesome to receive. Giving comes in many ways. We can Michael Norton give in the form of money, resources and time. We can give gifts and presents. We can give back to a cause or community, or maybe we can give back to a person or family who had helped us out when we needed it. We can give through charities and organizations. Many companies, houses of worship, and other organizations have “Giving Trees” where we can choose to help people and families in
need. And we can do all our giving, no matter what it may be, silently and anonymously. What’s it like to be on the receiving end of gifting? For many of us, no matter where we find ourselves today, we have been in a position of need. We may have had a difficult season of life. We may have endured a tragedy or hardship. There may have been a time when unexpectedly we found ourselves out of work. Or we may have had an illness or injury that left us unable to care for ourselves or a loved one. Many of us who can relate to any of these situations, when someone stepped up to help, know just how humbling receiving can feel. Think of the greatest gift that we have ever received. Maybe it’s the nicest and most expensive, but something tells me it’s not. More than likely, if we give it some deeper thought, we will remember the time our in-laws loaned us a few dollars to cover our mortgage. Or our neighbors stepped up and purchased our groceries. Maybe it was a time when
each friend cooked a meal for us as we balanced being with our spouse in the hospital and taking care of our children. The gift could have been an introduction to an executive who had a job opening at a time when we needed work. The gift could have simply been a hug, a night out with a close friend, some overdue laughs over coffee or a beer. Being on the receiving end of a gift is humbling. Sometimes, if we let it, it could be embarrassing. This is where I hope to change our thinking about that as there is no shame in accepting any form of help. You see, in the last paragraph where I listed the types of gifts we could receive, each one of those is an example of a gift I have received in my own life. A gift that came at just the right time. Some came from family, some came from friends, and some came from strangers. And all were received with humble gratitude. This holiday season, I encourage us to give the gift of giving and receiving. There are so many opportunities right in front of us to give
of our money, resources, time and talents. And should we find ourselves in the need of a hand up, or a little or a lot of help, let us receive it gratefully and humbly, without reservation or shame. Let’s receive it all in the spirit of love in which it is being given. As a way of giving back, each year I offer free keynote speeches on the topics I cover in this column throughout the year; Winning Words; Hope and Encouragement; Motivation and Inspiration. If your organization or company would benefit from such a talk, please let me know. And if you would like to gift one of my talks to an organization or company, let me know that too at mnorton@tramazing.com. And when we allow the spirit of giving and receiving to enter our lives, it really will be a better than good year. Michael Norton is the grateful CEO of Tramazing.com, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.
This GOP candidate has a shot at statewide office
R
ecently I received an unexpected call from Pam Anderson, an announced candidate for Colorado secretary of state. As friends for more GUEST than 15 years, it COLUMN was good to catch up. It was even better to thank her for running. Anderson is exactly the kind of secretary of state Colorado needs and deserves. Previously a muMario Nicolais nicipal clerk, a Jefferson County clerk and recorder and a former executive director for the Colorado County Clerk Association, Anderson has an unparalleled depth of experience and expertise. For more than a decade she has led the charge to provide safe, accessible ballots to Coloradans. She is also likely the best hope for Republicans searching for a shred of relevance in state government. At the top of the ticket, party regulars understand their gubernatorial front-runner, Heidi Ganahl, has little chance to topple Gov. Jared Polis next November. Anderson is also well inoculated from some of the most effective at-
DENVER Since 1926
tacks favored by Democrats. Namely, she is effectively immune from being labeled as a de facto proponent of the Big Lie — false claims about Donald Trump winning the 2020 election — or as an opponent of voting rights. To the contrary, last December Anderson both stated that the election results were valid and testified at the state legislature that they were free from fraud. She did not waver from that position even as she kicked off her campaign. That is notable for a Republican seeking to oversee elections. It demonstrates character and integrity. And it could be a big help next fall. Beating back false narratives about election fraud requires bipartisan advocacy. While Democrats are expected to take that position, it is uncommon in Republican circles. Consequently, it is relatively more useful and important to elect members of the GOP willing to stick their necks out. It also is not a surprise for anyone familiar with Anderson’s career. She has always been willing to put what is right before what is politically beneficial. During Republican former Secretary of State Scott Gessler’s term in office, she publicly disagreed with him on multiple matters, including his assertions of rampant voter fraud.

She became a leading advocate for universal mail ballots in 2013, helping to pass legislation that made Colorado a model for other states. Yet she also pushed for accountability and transparency through ballot audit programs. Anderson likely learned such independence from people like her mother-in-law, former Colorado Senate Majority Leader Norma Anderson. Hopefully she learned how to win a rough-and-tumble campaign as well. Despite her sterling qualifications, Anderson will have an uphill battle. Incumbent Democratic Secretary of State Jena Griswold will be even more formidable than she was when she unseated former Secretary Wayne Williams four years ago. Griswold has been the most partisan secretary in recent memory. She has used her office to garner national cameos on liberal talk shows and advocate against issues in other states nongermane to her duties. But that approach has helped her to gain a significant social media following, a national fundraising base and more than a million dollars in her campaign coffers. Griswold will be hard to beat, even for an eminently qualified candidate like Anderson. But it is not impossible. While other

candidates on the ticket may be tilting at windmills, there is a legitimate path to victory for Anderson. With Trump out of office, Griswold cannot rely on an energetic base. To the contrary, Anderson may get a boost from the midterm election. Furthermore, Griswold has seen unprecedented turnover in her office over the past three years. That is the kind of red flag that may worry voters. I am sure that there will be plenty of twists and turns for Anderson over the next 12 months. But if Colorado is lucky, at this time next year she will be preparing to take office rather than calling to catch up with people like me.

Denver Mayor Michael Hancock announces a outdoor mask mandate on Nov. 23, 2021.
MASKS FROM PAGE 1
Hancock said. Earlier this year, Denver introduced a public health order requiring all city employees, including some private sector entities in highrisk settings, to be fully vaccinated. Speaking at the Nov. 23 press conference, Bob McDonald, executive director of Denver’s Department of Public Health & Environment, expressed frustration with unvaccinated people. “We are here today because too many people chose not to get vaccinated even though they were eligible,” he said. Hancock said the mask mandate was necessary to ensure businesses and schools could remain open, as well as to reduce the strain on area hospitals. “We are at a point of breaking. The hospitals of the Denver metro area are full,” said Denver Health CEO Dawn Wittenstein, who also spoke at the press conference. The mayor’s announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Tri-County Health Department voted to approve an indoor mask mandate for Adams and Arapahoe counties. John Douglas, executive director of Tri-County Health Department, acknowledged that the new man-
date won’t be celebrated by all. “We didn’t undertake this to win a popularity contest,” Douglas said. “We undertook this because our reading of the situation is that there are substantial downsides that are going to (occur) if we breach hospital capacity and have to ration care.” Businesses in Adams and Arapahoe County are exempt from the mask mandate if they require staff and visitors to be fully vaccinated. Also on Nov. 22, Jefferson County Public Health’s board voted 4-1 to institute a health ordinance requiring people ages 3 and up to wear masks when in public indoor spaces. Those counties are all included in the public health order from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, issued earlier this month, that requires anyone who attends a public, indoor event with 500 or more people to be vaccinated against COVID-19. Colorado is above average in terms of vaccinations. According to data analysis from NPR, Colorado ranks 16th in the country in terms of the percentage of adults who are fully vaccinated. We are 15th in terms of the percentage of the total population that is vaccinated. The numbers are even more impressive in the counties that have now instituted a mask order: Among Coloradans 12 and older, as of Nov. 23, the vaccination rate

is 80.4% in Denver County, 78.4% in Jefferson County, 74% in Arapahoe County and 72.1% in Adams County. However, hospitalizations continue to climb across the state. The latest data from CDPHE show more than 1,500 people are currently hospitalized with COVID-19, nearing the record-high 1,841 set in December 2020, before vaccines were widely available (and before the highly contagious delta variant of COVID-19 took over Colorado). Over 80% of people currently hospitalized with COVID-19 are not vaccinated. What’s more, hospital bed capacity is at a pandemic low. The first statewide mask mandate was issued in July 2020, and lasted about 10 months. In May of this year, Gov. Jared Polis announced that fully vaccinated Coloradans could ditch their masks in most indoor settings. Again, that was before the delta surge. Nu r s e s r e t u r n t o t h e i r But despite the surging cases and c a llin g hospitalizations, Polis has declined to re-implement a statewide mask Nurses return to their calling H e a lth c a r e c a r e e r order, instead leaving the decision jo u r n e y s b e g in to individual public health agencies.

Another cut to state income tax rate makes 2022 Colo. ballot Measure would cut state revenue by $530M next year BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
Colorado voters will decide next year whether to further reduce the state’s income tax rate. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said Nov. 18 that supporters
of Initiative 31 collected enough signatures to get their question before voters in 2022. They needed at least 124,632 signatures to qualify for the ballot. The measure is being pushed by conservatives, including Jon Caldara, who leads the Independence Institute. The initiative seeks to reduce the income tax rate to 4.4% from 4.55%. Nonpartisan legislative staff estimated in April that the measure would reduce state general fund revenue by $530 million in fiscal year
already going to see a temporary income tax rate reduction to 4.5% for the foreseeable future because the state is projected to exceed the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights cap on government growth and spending for at least the next three fiscal years, triggering the rate reduction. In 2020, Colorado voters approved Proposition 116, which reduced the state income tax rate to 4.55% from 4.63%.

How local artists help to define metro area’s beer scene BY ROBERT TANN RTANN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
S
itting in the studio of Noelle Phares, a 35-year-old artist based in Lakewood, a collection of seasonal beers from the Colfax microbrewery West Fax Brewing can be seen adorning her shelves. Phares, who studied environmental science before becoming a fulltime artist, picks up a large can of the brewery’s brut IPA, a seasonal summertime favorite, and explains the meaning behind the salmon pink sky and purple mountains depicted on its label in watercolor brushstrokes. “This was a painting of an Alaskan landscape,” she said. “I wanted to highlight how unique the lighting is in a place that’s super snowy, especially around sunset time when you get really crazy colors and the whole landscape glows.” It is just one of several painting by Phares that were featured on the cans of West Fax’s Summer Artist Series in 2018. As Denver’s beer scene continues to grow, many breweries find themselves tapping local artists like Phares to compliment their products. “There’s been a long-standing symbiotic relationship between art and craft beer,” said Jack Buffington, a research professor at the University of Denver with more than 20 years of experience in the beer industry. “(Breweries) try to emphasize that, instead of being produced in some big factory, it’s being made by hand.” These small-scale beer makers -usually referred to as micro or nanobreweries depending on the size of their batches and breadth of their distribution -- have found identity through local artists, helping them stand out from a sea of competition. But, more so than just boosting sales, Buffington said the art is about building community. “There’s so many big brands that exist in the world. … Everyone likes when you support local people. I think that’s a fantastic expression of culture.” For artists, it presents a unique opportunity for exposure. Ken Sarafin, a Denver-based digital artist, said Colorado’s capital has always had a lively art and beer scene. But it wasn’t until smaller breweries became more abundant that Sarafin said he noticed a shift from larger design firms to local artists when it came to the art on a can. “The breweries are offering a fantastic avenue for exposure for local artists,” he said. “That scene didn’t really exist before the craft beers.” Sarafin partnered last year with Resolute Brewing, with locations in Centennial and Arvada, to design three cans for their new sour, lager

and IPA. The cans’ labels are reminiscent of famous artists, such as the spiral sky of the IPA that evokes Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night, or the Monet-style impressionism of the brewery’s lager. “It’s really cool to be part of the culture,” he said. “(Breweries) are almost developing their own niche art scene. It’s interesting to think about the impact it could have on art history.” And as the beer scene booms, breweries find themselves marketing to more experimental drinkers, according to Buffington. “The marketing of beer had to be a lot more precise as opposed to a focus around (brand) loyalty,” he SEE BEER, P15

Museum shares works of Americans in France Paintings from 1855-1913 on display at Denver Art Museum BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
“Whistler to Cassatt: American Painters in France,” now open at the Denver Art Museum through March 13, includes more than 100 paintings created between 1855 and 1913 by American painters, some who studied in official and private academies and some who roamed the city and countryside, painting images. In preceding years, according to Curator Emeritus Timothy Standring, there was a focus on how paintings were done, consideration of the academic technique of the work, but by the period covered, concern had moved to what the painting said about a subject. Controversy still existed over what was most important in a work of art ... (As it does today!) This exhibit is an absolute pleasure to contemplate for the lush colors in art that pop against deeply toned walls. Take a deep breath and start walking. Art is hung “salon style,” with a mix of sizes and subjects rather than with all in a neat row. “Do you know how brave it is to tell lenders that work will be hung

said, adding that compared to bigger brands, consumers see a “much more artistic presentation of the can,” from local brewers. Stacy McMahan, who lives in downtown Denver, knows this firsthand. McMahan, 32, began her career as a product designer at Copper Kettle Brewing Company in Aurora where she ran social media and served as a photographer for the brewery. This led her to discover her passion for design and she went on to work for Four Noses Brewery in Broomfield where she did work on more than 50 beer cans. Most recently, McMahan designed and
salon style?” Standring commented. At the turn of the century, Paris was the center of the art world and acceptance in the Salon (started in 1775) was a goal for artists from France, America and elsewhere. James McNeill Whistler, John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt were among the Americans who arrived to study. Cassatt, who was 21 when she arrived in Paris, had particular challenges as women were not accepted to the prestigious Ecole des BeauxArtes, nor allowed to socialize in cafes where male artists gathered. But her introductory portfolio was so accomplished that she was accepted in the atelier of Jean-Leon Gerome and supplemented her studies by making copies of masterworks at the Louvre, which she could sell. We are told that she formed a close friendship with painter Edgar Degas. Other American women artists with works exhibited include Elizabeth Jane Gardner, Cecelia Beaux, Lila Cabot Perry and Elizabeth Nourse. Standring commented that it has taken 10 years to get this show together. “It becomes more and more difficult to stage a major loan show, with shipping and couriers.” The museum staff has worked steadily on the project. “Americans could have gone to SEE PAINTINGS, P14
photographed for New Image Brewing in Arvada. Each brewery has its own style and target audience giving artists like McMahan the chance to try something new. “New Image was a fun project because it really forced me out of my comfort zone,” she said. “They have a different sense of branding than what I’m used to, so that was fun to flex a different muscle.” Reward is also found in seeing an artistic design move from McMahan’s computer screen, where she creates her work digitally, to being grasped in the palm’s of people’s hands as they enjoy a beer. “You would always see (the art) in all these different situations with all these different people from different walks of life,” McMahan

said. “Which is kind of the heart of beer in itself, to build community. It’s really cool to see that your label is now a part of that community.” “People are looking for more connection from brands,” she continued. “Sometimes art is the best way to connect with people. It’s all about crafting an experience.” Beyond just taprooms and liquor stores, McMahan said she has seen her beer designs in a host of settings, from the mountains of Colorado to the base camp of Mount Everest. The compact nature of a beer can grants local artists a chance to see their work in places they never would have imagined, said Phares, the Lakewood artist who worked for West Fax. “What I love about the beer can

thing is people bring beers in their backpack when they go skiing, when they go hiking, they bring six-packs to their friends house,” she said. “They work their way into all these different environments that art maybe traditionally hasn’t been in. I found it really fun to see my artwork that’s of these wild places actually out in some of these places that they were inspired by, because that didn’t happen very often for me.” As customers continue to browse the local beer section of their nearby liquor store, they’re likely to be met with a growing gallery of art. Phares said it adds a new dimension to how they will choose their next drink. “It’s like the new phase of judging a book by its cover,” she said.

Dusseldorf, Rome, London,” Standring said as he started his press tour comments. But Paris won their initial interest and they spread out into the picturesque countryside as well. There are 18 paintings by Cassatt, who did have work accepted/exhibited in the Salon. Included are early works, such as “The Mandolin Player” (1868) and “Mother and Child” (1889), which Standring considers to be her finest work. A gallery is dedicated to Whistler, illustrating his many different approaches to painting. He began his time in France with study in the atelier of Swiss-born artist Charles Gleyre and works exhibited here include “The Coast of Brittany (Alone With the Tide)” (1861), “Blue and
Silver, Dieppe,” (1880-85), “The Sea, Pourville” (1899) and “The Beach at Marseilles” (1901). Sargent’s paintings are important to the period and this exhibit shows preliminary studies he painted prior to completing the well-known “Fishing for Oysters at Cancale” (1877). We have in recent years enjoyed a major exhibit of Sargent’s works at the Denver Art Museum, but it’s good to recognize his involvement with these other painters as well. It was a rich period that carried through in subsequent examples of American art. An American group, known as “The Ten,” included William Merritt Chase, J. Alden Weir, Frank Benson, Edmund C. Tarbell, Thomas D. Ewing and Robert Lewis Reid. Their work was not immediately met with enthusiasm in America, but they persisted. A second wave of American artists also included in this large exhib-

Sky’s the limit for Sky Ridge robots Hospital’s high-tech surgery program expanding BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Already serving as one of the state’s leaders in robot-assisted surgery, Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree is making a major investment in the future by building
a special robotics unit. Construction in the Lone Tree hospital’s Evergreen building is currently underway for an outpatient robotic surgery center covering more than 26,000 square feet, slated to open in 2022. Sky Ridge CEO Kirk McCarty said robot-assisted surgery allows doctors to perform a variety of procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Robotic
surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery, which can be performed through tiny incisions. In a robot-assisted procedure, surgeons operate on patients using a camera arm and mechanical arms that have surgical instruments attached to them. The surgeon controls the arms while seated at a computer console near the operating table. Through the technology, the surgeon has a view through a
high definition, magnified, 3D lens. Sky Ridge Vice President of Operation Will Bertram said the $20 million expansion will have four operating rooms, eight pre-op rooms and six recovery rooms. In the new department, surgeons will focus on specialty procedures in gynecology, bariatrics and urology. Bertram said the new department is being built directly next to the SEE EXPANDING, P16

gynecology department because of the number of procedures being done for women. Robotic technology has emerged in the last decade to treat issues with the female reproductive system, Bertram said. The robots are able to more precisely remove tumors and address issues with less complications, he said. Jeff James, a gynecological oncologist at Sky Ridge, said robotics in surgery has continually evolved over the last decade, noting that the ease of use, decrease of set-up time and patient success are all good reasons for the hospital to expand the program. “Currently, one of the problems is availability,” James said. “With the equipment we have now, we have to schedule surgeons and patients and make sure the robots are available. That is because they create the ability for far more efficiency and better-quality services for the patient.” In the past, James said preparing for a robotic-assisted surgery could take more than an hour to put the machine together. Now, with the equipment currently used at Sky Ridge and the future expansion, surgery prep takes around 10 minutes. In gynecological procedures, James said the advanced robots allow easier access for specialized procedures and with the smart technology on the computer, the robot can correct a surgeon’s hand movements quickly, rotating from left to right or right to left as needed, James said. McCarty said in looking at where healthcare is headed, it makes sense to expand an area where technology allows surgeons to be more precise, cuts down on recovery time, allows patients to be sent home sooner and has less risk of complications. “It allows us to take on a special niche to drive the positive outcome for patients,” McCarty said. “Sky Ridge is quickly becoming one of the busiest hospitals for robotic procedures in Colorado. We want to become a regional service center offering these procedures. This expansion will allow us to have the largest fleet of robots in the Rocky Mountain region.” The need for robot-assisted proce-

dures has steadily increased at Sky Ridge, Bertram said. After using one robot for several years, he said, the hospital invested in six more machines in 2015. As information about robotics has become more readily available, Bertram said people are seeking out facilities that offer the technologically advanced services. Sky Ridge has not only treated patients from across the entire Front Range, but also statewide and from neighboring states, he said. When robot-assisted surgeries started in 2013, Bertram said, Sky Ridge surgeons performed 250 procedures. In 2021, Sky Ridge will do 1,300 robot-assisted procedures, he said. McCarty said Sky Ridge administrators would never have started discussing the expansion concepts and designs of the new center in 2018 if it were not for the “exceptional” surgeons working at the hospital. “All the robots and pretty space would mean nothing without the great surgeons we have here,” he said. “We have a rock star staff taking care of our patients.”

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Make your contribution go twice as far! Know that your gift to Colorado Community Media helps our 24 weekly newspapers and two monthly magazines thrive. Our staff works hard to keep tabs on the community where you live, and in 2022, we’ll be working even harder. We’ve applied to be a host newsroom for the Report for America program, which places an emerging journalist in our newsroom and covers a portion of the cost. The remainder of that salary comes from the generous support of our readers and community. Our organization was chosen for the #newsCOneeds matching program, so now your support will go even farther. From now until Dec. 31, the Colorado Media Project will match your gift up to a total of $5,000. It’s a unique way for your support to really count. Linda Shapley Publisher
