After all\, how do we begin to choose which stories to tell from all the days and years? And who cares? First of all\, no life is ordinary. No life is without miracles and magic\, great loss and great love. And probably no life is more crucial for our children to understand then ours\, because they share more than our genetics\, they share our spiritual DNA. What made us who we are\, helps them see who they can become. In that sense\, we leave them with more than stories. We leave them with meaning and hope.  \n  \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org. \n***To receive the Member / Open Studio rate – please “login” the upper right- hand corner of this page with the email associated with your membership*** \n  \nPlease Note: Classes and workshops may be cancelled if enrollment minimums are not reached.

Influenced by his parents’ Eastern roots and a lifelong exposure to diverse visual cultures\, his work reflects a deep engagement with identity\, movement\, and transformation. He earned a BFA in Graphic Design from Colorado State University and completed graduate studies in Studio Art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston.  \n \nRooted in portraiture and the human form\, Bell’s work often features dual-posed figures joined at the hips\, symbolizing fluidity\, connection\, and the evolving nature of lived experience. Working with chalk pastel\, spray paint\, metallic leaf\, and resin on layered wood panels and cutouts\, he creates vibrant\, three-dimensional surfaces that merge organic and geometric forms. Through this fusion of the familiar and the fantastical\, his work explores our connection to one another and the natural world while inviting curiosity\, reflection\, and emotional engagement. Recently he has pivoted to indoor and outdoor mural work and is currently working on several public art commissions in the Denver area. \n \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org

After all\, how do we begin to choose which stories to tell from all the days and years? And who cares? First of all\, no life is ordinary. No life is without miracles and magic\, great loss and great love. And probably no life is more crucial for our children to understand then ours\, because they share more than our genetics\, they share our spiritual DNA. What made us who we are\, helps them see who they can become. In that sense\, we leave them with more than stories. We leave them with meaning and hope.  \n  \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org. \n***To receive the Member / Open Studio rate – please “login” the upper right- hand corner of this page with the email associated with your membership*** \n  \nPlease Note: Classes and workshops may be cancelled if enrollment minimums are not reached.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Tom Sarmo
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk with Tom Sarmo \nDate: Saturday\, May 16\, 2026 \nTime:  2:00 – 3:00pm \nCost: Free \nLocation: Foothills Art Center – Astor House\, 1133 Arapahoe St \nDescription: \nEmbracing the Blessing and Breaking the Curse \nMy aim is/was to disintegrate the chains of “aiming to please” the real and imagined critical audience of my artworks\, and to neutralize my efforts to reach artistry through the quest for perfection.  \nFor me\, as well as many artists\, art has always been both a blessing and a curse; bringing the joy of creating along with the curse of striving for some unreachable pinnacle of precision/perfection. My belief is that true creativity is stifled by the curse\, and that the blessing is only found in releasing the imagination and letting the innate imagination flow without the restriction of fear. \nThe effort and task of two years was to try to let go and allow the pleasure of creation to flow in a relaxed manner. Silencing the internal voices–my own and the imagined or real voices of critics–took effort. It’s been a slow process; at times very successful and at others\, honestly still a task-in-process. \n-Tom Sarmo \nContact: For any questions\, please email Leslie Fitzsimmons at leslie@foothillsartcenter.org.
