Growing up in a family of painters and musicians, Patricia Donovan/TA Donovan developed an appreciation for and a devotion to art. However, her passion for the arts percolated for years as she pursued a career in education – first as teacher and then as a principal. While creating- with her faculty - an elementary school for the arts within the Littleton (Colorado) Public Schools, she began pursuing her own creativity. Studying first at the Denver Art Museum and later at the Denver Art Students’ League, she found her way to figurative and landscape painting. In her work, you will find the influences of Ron Hicks, Kim English and Michael Lynch, her teachers, who demonstrate movement, light, and drama in their paintings. Viewers find that stories unfold in TA Donovan’s paintings - as light and shadows drift across the canvases.

Kyle Donovan's heart has been on his sleeves. It's gotten him into trouble more than once, but it's also given him a window into something beautiful, imperfect, and steadfast: the deep, unwavering conviction that we're more alike than different. Donovan has been honoring that truth, uncovering universal stories through songwriting, crafting tales of everyday life and infusing them with a type of mystery, emotion, and tenderness that is often felt and seldom understood.
With a style that hearkens back to a bygone era, this Colorado troubadour's pure, soaring tenor and fingerstyle guitar work have drawn critical acclaim from across the nation.

In collaboration with the Climate Action Collaborative, Vail Public Library invites all Eagle County residents to save money and cut climate pollution by exchanging two inefficient old-tech lightbulbs for two high-efficiency LEDs during the month of February, 2020.
Residents are encouraged to bring in two incandescent or compact-florescent bulbs and exchange them for two LED bulbs free of charge any time during library hours.
Switching to LED lighting is one of the easiest and lowest-cost ways to reduce air pollution.
My work is an expression of my love for all things in nature. Growing up in Idaho family time was outdoor time. Imprints of the land and wildlife made lasting impressions on me. I moved to Colorado in the summer of 2008 to work at Piney Lake where I immediately fell in love with the Gore Range; I have been circling away and looking over my shoulder at those peaks ever since. I express my feelings and emotions best with color, and there is no shortage of it in my work. I strive to balance all that color in my work by making sure I pay close attention to the value scale and rhythm of the piece. The current series that will be at the library in February is all acrylic and carving on 24” x 24” plywood.
