“Every library, stripped to its barest mission, seeks to connect people with information.
​Art is information—the product of a creative process and the process itself.”

Deborah M Jones, Basalt
Morning Journals, mixed media
 
Deborah Jones received her BFA from MassArt in 1973. During this time she was also a founding member of the The Graphic Workshop in Boston. Once graduated she moved to the Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado where she continued designing and screen printing posters, became the K-8 art teacher at the Aspen Community School in Woody Creek and continued making her art in mixed media and installation. In 1995 she founded and directed the Wyly Community Art Center in Woody Creek and moved the organization to Basalt, Colorado in 2004. Today the art center is known as the Art Base. 
 
Deborah recently left the world of community arts and now is full-time making paintings, collages, installations and hand-made books. Her work has been exhibited locally and nationally. She currently lives and works on a mountain ridge above Basalt, Colorado

Laurie McBride, Old Snowmass
Watercolors

I studied art at Stanford University and lived and studied in Paris where my godmother Marion Pike also lived.  She was a fabulous artist and was always a great influence and teacher.  For many years I studied with Anstis Lundy, where my great love of watercolor began. Through the years I have participated in numerous art classes at Anderson Ranch in Snowmass Village.

I live on a beautiful cattle ranch in Old Snowmass, Colorado where I have a studio adjacent to my garden which is an inspiration for many of my paintings.  We spend a good deal of time in Kenya with friends which inspires all the animals I paint.

My paintings have been displayed and sold at Cafe Bernard, the Aspen Chapel, the Art Base in Basalt and Alpine Bank/Basalt.  I was selected for the Annual Colorado Watercolor Show in 2011 and 2013.  My paintings are in private collections throughout the U.S.
