This exhibition focuses thematically on works that relate to the river. Four Colorado artists express themselves on the topic in varying ways both in technique and in media. The artists included are R.E. Tolzman, Jean Jennings, Peggy Littlejohn and Elizabeth Szabo.

Inspired by the angularity of river canyon wall, artist R.E. Tolzman has created a series of raku fired vessel forms for this show.

The waterways and water bodies of rivers have influenced clay artist Jean Jennings in her artistic interpretations of their ever changing and evolving shapes and forms.

Fabric artist Peggy Littlejohn captures inspiration for her quilted landscapes from canoeing, hiking, and backpacking.

Elizabeth Szabo is an artist who enjoys exploring her work through multi-media. Her interpretation of the environment is often with a twist of dark humor.
