What About Abstract Art?

This exhibit featuring abstract works in oil, watercolor, and mixed media offer a rich opportunity for contemplation, fresh insights and self-discovery.

Julia Evans

"I am in search of simplicity and depth of soul."

Julia M. Evans is a Colorado Springs–based abstract painter whose work explores stillness,emotion, and the quiet language of form. Raised in a creative, inquisitive home, she grew up surrounded by art, science, and storytelling—an early education in seeing with both curiosity and care.

Her paintings—spare, contemplative, and quietly radiant—reflect a continuing dialogue between emotion and calm. Guided by themes of memory, stillness, and renewal, she creates compositions that invite a slow, attentive gaze. Her art is both meditation and offering—a search for simplicity and depth of soul.

George Sanchez 

"I contemplate misty rushing water, and then I paint."

In this series of abstract works in watercolor, George Sanchez challenges us to engage with the work with our whole being. A casual glance yields nothing of value. Rather, stand before the work longer than a passing moment, taking enough time to absorb and discover its meaning. The greatest reward for the viewer comes through hard examination; to do that, one must experience a work in an attitude of meditation.
