Pam Farris
Inside Estrogen
May 30th - June 15th, 2025
Pam Farris is all about “practicing what you preach” or, in her case, teach. A retired art teacher of thirty years, Pam is now living her best artist life full-time. Her introduction into mosaics came in the form of a poorly taught workshop, but despite this, she discovered a love of turning broken pieces into something whole. Even with the finger cuts and hand cramps, mosaics have become her truest language—a way to express her experience of being human.
Pam’s mosaics feature both historic and narrative themes. She uses the narrative theme for this show with a hope of capturing the viewer into looking closely at the pieces within the form.
Her latest body of work, Inside Estrogen, focuses on the emotional and physical battle of living in a body fueled—and threatened—by estrogen. It follows her personal struggles and triumphs with breast cancer and its aftermath as an estrogen-positive (+--) breast cancer survivor.
Pam is a proud member and assistant director of Next Gallery in Lakewood, Colorado, and also a member of Colorado Mosaic Artists, Colorado Art Education Association, Women’s Caucus for Art Colorado, and the Society for Creative Anachronism.

UNTAMED Light and Dark Tones
May 30th-June 15th, 2025
UNTAMED: Light and Dark Tones is a collection of paintings that push the boundaries of contrast—where warmth meets cold, light clashes with shadow, and emotion takes center stage. Each piece carries a dynamic energy, with vivid warm tones burning against deep, cool hues. The work explores themes of both emotion and the untamed spirit that runs through this collection.
Born and raised in Colorado, Adam Weinzapfel is a versatile artist who wears many hats and thrives on creative exploration. Inspired by the beautiful chaos of life and death, light and shadows, human emotion and the untamed sprite. His work spans multiple themes, mediums and styles leading to a vast portfolio that extends to many branches of work. Whether splattering paint in a burst of spontaneity, experimenting with lighting, optical illusions/, and fire, or refining an illustration over hundreds of hours. He has a passion for living in the moment of bringing art to life.
