The Open Studios art exhibit in the main Boulder Public Library survived the flood (yay!) and there is one piece there from each artist (over a hundred) from now until Open Studios is over.

The mighty hunter (of crumpled paper balls) takes an afternoon rest between forays, secure in his knowledge that he is camouflaged.
I was recently an unwilling witness to this rather frightening sight on top of the couch... Oh my god, I thought, she's crushed him! I took a little video to document her guilt and her evasive (but ultimately evil) nonchalant demeanor. Not sure if it will hold up in cat court.
Here's a change of pace: I did this Clayboard portrait (by scratching into the black with sharp metal, for those of you not familiar with the medium) last year, during one of the last few art-school classes. Sorry the photo is slightly blurry; the portrait is actually crisp. More art on my website: jalapfaff.com
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.
