Artist Reception: Daniel Christie Art

Join us in the Red Rocks Room to meet the artist of the month, Daniel Christie! His work will be on display for viewing and sale during the month of July. Refreshments will be provided.

About the artist:

A passion for nature & art is what initially brought Daniel Christie to Rock Ledge Ranch Historic Site at Garden of the Gods. He spent many hours plein air painting at the Ranch before volunteering, interpreting 19th century art, & eventually working in the admin office. Working at the Ranch & interpreting history has brought a dimension to Daniel’s art that he hopes inspires you to join him in wonder about the beauty of the past.

At the Ranch visitors can witness the courage of people who lived in that time period & people’s work ethic, endurance & ingenuity. There’s a depth to the history at Rock Ledge Ranch that Daniel would never have comprehended had he never gotten involved here.

Daniel hopes that through this exhibit you too may see a sliver of the beauty to be found at Rock Ledge Ranch & are inspired to visit the Ranch yourself & immerse yourself in the wonder of history that truly comes to life. (While you are welcome to visit the grounds of Rock Ledge Ranch from dawn until dusk every day, the buildings are open to visitors to experience history come to life Wednesdays through Saturdays 10am-5pm & Sundays 1-5pm. June 3-August 15.)
