We are two local artists based in Aspen, passionate about bringing creative experiences to the community.
Our story began as two ski bums with a shared love for art and the mountains, coming together to combine our skills and create something meaningful for the community.
We met in 2018 as two artists from different corners of the country—Kelly from Detroit and Claire from San Francisco—and quickly bonded over our shared love of creativity and teaching. Kelly is now a full-time painter, and Claire is a professional photographer, both bringing years of experience in the arts and education to the Aspen community.
In addition to our individual professional practices, we successfully ran a kids' summer camp that quickly became a community favorite. We also host local art shows, sharing our work and engaging with Aspen's vibrant arts scene. Claire is bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing us to create an inclusive and welcoming environment for families from diverse backgrounds. Together, we balance our artistic careers with a passion for teaching and fostering creativity in others.
