“Bill Havu is celebrating fifty years on the Colorado
art scene. He’s been on a five-decade trajectory that
has taken him from a humble Aspen frame shop to a swank
Denver gallery. For the past half-century, William
Havu—known as Bill Havu to everyone—has emphatically
made his presence known in Colorado’s art world. This
longevity is, on its surface, a remarkable
accomplishment by itself. But digging deeper, and taking
into account the vagaries of the art business, his
durable success is even more amazing than it seems. Art
is subject to radical and sudden shifts in taste, not
only in terms of style, but right down to preferred
medium at any given moment. Not to forget, there’s the
problems common to all small businesses—relentlessly
rising expenses along with the ups and downs of the
larger economy. Bill must have had ice water in his
veins to have not just survived, but to have flourished
through it all.”

Visions West Contemporary
Opening reception, 6 - 8 pm
Wild and Precious, a solo exhibition from the
multimedia artist and sculptor Rachel Denny. The title
of the show takes its inspiration from the writer Mary
Oliver. Oliver's poem The Summer Day, which deals with
nature and morality, sometimes finds itself on repeat in
Denny's head. In the final line of the poem Oliver
writes "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one
wild and precious life?" Denny works and lives outside
of Portland, Oregon where she creates nature and animal
inspired artwork, most of which consists of taxidermy
forms that have been transformed through fabric and
embellishments she overlays them with. Denny's choice of
medium has adapted and changed over the years, dependent
upon the project and access to resources. Sourcing from
upcycled materials that come from thrift stores, estate
sales or kind gifts from friends. Texture and color are
her palette, and this palette resides in a large storage
cabinet where she hunts for materials for each animal
figure.

Robin Hextrum's Animal Kingdom, a world where
animals ascend to the throne, both an homage to our
fellow creatures and a commentary on human impact. From

kingdom.
