This April, Telluride Arts HQ East presents Infinite Horizons: Impressions of the Colorado Plateau by Joe Schafer, a mixed media artist based in Durango, CO. After a successful career as a custom painter, Joe discovered his latent talent for fine art painting through experimenting with various mediums and techniques to create unique faux finishes for high end homes. Following an instinct to explore his creativity, Schafer created his first landscape painting in 2018. Shortly after, Schafer became a full-time fine artist.

Joe flexes into the skills that he learned in the trades, often incorporating unconventional techniques and mediums like stains and dyes. Joe says, “Nature not only serves as an inspiration for the meaning of my works, but it also serves as a medium.” Inspired by the vastness of the wild landscapes in his own backyard of Southwest Colorado, Joe utilizes the elements to create the rich and unique textures that are signature to his paintings, such as freezing paints using winter temperatures or incorporating sand and soil into his mediums.
