Featured Artists This Month:
Shari Lyon
Explore the luminous, dreamlike world of Shari Lyon, who masterfully paints using encaustic—an ancient technique that blends molten beeswax and damar resin. Her layered, textured compositions incorporate oil paint, photography, pastels, and drawing to create ethereal landscapes inspired by mythology, the sacred feminine, and the spirit of nature. Each piece is a delicate balance between control and spontaneity, capturing a moment suspended in time.
RECARLO
Founded in 1967 in the historic goldsmithing district of Valenza, Italy, Recarlo is a distinguished family-owned jewelry Maison rooted in over five decades of artisanal excellence. What began with Carlo Re’s vision to “make beauty eternal” has grown into a globally respected brand known for its timeless elegance, Italian design, and deep emotional resonance.

MILK MOON GALLERY
LOCATION: 307 East Colorado Avenue, Telluride
This January, Milk Moon is pleased to present ‘Random Access Memory’ as our first exhibition of 2026. Featuring work by Kelly Tapia-Chuning, Adam Young, and Adde Russell, the three-artist show is an impactful assemblage of works that explore ideas of translating mental ephemera and unwritten history into record.
With her carefully dismantled vintage serapes (woven Mexican blankets), textile artist Kelly Tapia-Chuning explores both personal and cultural history through the lens of her mixed-Indigenous ancestry. Tapia-Chuning critically examines the complications inherent in exploring Indigenous histories within the confines of the very systems that sought to erase them, while simultaneously reclaiming the serapes themselves by re-centering their narrative around Indigenous healing.
A self-taught painter born and raised in the lowlands of Louisiana, Adam Young draws on themes of nature, folklore, history, and storytelling in stylized, narrative works that combine text, imagery, and symbolism. Intimately embodying his own personal ethic, Young's acrylic tableaus on Douglas Fir tell tales of personal mythology and a spirituality that views humans as merely part of nature, instead of its masters.
Adde Russell’s operatic oil tableaus pair meticulously executed photorealism with expressionistic flourishes born from the inherent messiness of the artistic process. The resulting works feel at once gravely serious, slyly lighthearted, and captivatingly unknowable, inviting the viewer to conjure their own narratives out of her rich visual source material.
SOUTH FIR STREET GALLERY
LOCATION: 230 South Fir Street, Telluride
South Fir Street Gallery presents an elaborate art exhibition showcasing the creations of Judy Haas.

Through abstract and figurative forms, shifting light, evolving landscapes, bodies in transition, and emotional or natural processes, the exhibition reflects how change, adaptation, and transformation shape our lived experience. Some works express motion through stillness, others through rhythm, gesture, or flow, reminding us that nothing is ever truly static. “In Motion” celebrates creativity as an ongoing state of becoming—where art, like life itself, is always responding, evolving, and in motion.
