Jessica Langley Solo Exhibition
“Mushroom Magic: Spells for Collective Hope”
Jessica Langley presents Mushroom Magic, a solo exhibition in the Daniel Tucker Gallery created from mushrooms foraged in the Colorado mountains that are processed into a handmade paper. With textured, lumpy, and imperfect surfaces, she composes sigils, painted with rainbow colored gouache, watercolor, and ink. These intentional, and ritual-like drawings are activated by touch, attention, and context.
Jessica Langley is a multimedia artist and an amateur mycologist. She has exhibited her work internationally, and has been an artist-in-residence in programs including Skaftfell Center of Visual Art in Iceland, Askeaton Contemporary Art in Ireland and SPACES World Artist Program in Cleveland. She was a recipient of the J. William Fulbright Scholarship for research in Iceland, and earned her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2008. She has been published in the New York Mycological Society Newsletter, New American Paintings, NPR, Hyperallergic, and Temporary Art Review. Jessica is a guest of Telluride Mushroom Festival and will host an Artist Talk on Saturday, August 15th from 6-8pm.

La Cocina de Luz is featuring "Portals in Steel", imaginary world paintings by Jane Marshall and sculpture by Jane Marshall and Justin Glidewell.
On exhibit here, "The Raven’s Repast", we see a dinner party with the guests including a river running down the middle of a torn tablecloth, a rainbow and a series of planets who showed up late to the party. Also invited and flying in were crows and two tropical and delightful oropendolas who brought along their nests to the dinner party.
All the paintings in this exhibit are enlarged prints from the original paintings fabricated on AluPoly (aluminum composite printed on high resolution UV flatbed printer with UV curable ink). This direct print process endures the ink bonds permanently to the polyester coated aluminum, producing vibrant smudge-proof and weather resistant signage.

Long-time Telluride local, Leslie Ross Crane, displays new landscape oil paintings at her annual exhibit, High Country Colors & Southern Scenes, at Baked in Telluride during the months of June-July.
Leslie’s love of natural settings, and particularly the Telluride area, is evident in her work, and this year her exhibit will also include a number of paintings from her winter home in Baja Sur, Mexico. With a passion for life-long learning, Leslie continues to study with master oil painters, and finds scenes to which we can all relate. Her colorful paintings are always well received, and Baked in Telluride is delighted to have Leslie back for her twelfth exhibition.
