KATHY BEEKMAN Living in Colorado’s vast Rocky Mountain landscape, pastel artist Kathy Beekman finds constant inspiration in her surroundings as well as in her memories. Drawing on recollections of her upbringing in Fort Wayne, Indiana, a small city surrounded by farming communities, the self-taught artist places barns, clouds, streams, and trees into her simplified, dreamy compositions. Celebrating her 10th year of representation at Canyon Road Contemporary during 2016, Beekman says her talent and passion fuel her success. “From the beginning, transforming a piece of paper to reflect my thoughts and feelings has struck me as magical,” she notes. “I love the sense of fulfillment that I get from successfully conveying my emotions onto paper.” She also explains that although her process remains deliberate, her intuitive experience with the work is what truly makes it hers: “[My unconscious] steers my compositions, my color choices, and their placement; and [it] tells me when a painting is finished.” On Time: Celebrating 10 years with Kathy Beekman July 15–24, reception July 15, 5–7 pm Canyon Road Contemporary, canyoncontemporary.com

PABLO MILAN Characterized by brilliant colors and layering—varying washes, palette knife marks, and brushstrokes—paintings by Pablo Milan portray ethereal, expressive figures that reflect his New Mexico upbringing. “Layering allows the colors to really pop,” says the colorist, adding that painting as many as 25 layers on each canvas “gives the paintings depth and the appearance of changing colors throughout the day, depending on the light.” Primarily a self-taught artist, Milan joined his first gallery at 17; now 53, he has paintings in private and corporate art collections around the world, as well as in the private collections of celebrities Shakira and Ron Howard.
