< Back Joann Carhart Levy Joann is primarily a plein air painter with oils and pastel being her preferred mediums. She is influenced by nature, the environment and the magnificent scenery Colorado has to offer with its changing seasons. Abstract brush strokes and impasto techniques utilizing texture and color are evident in her work. Largely self -taught yet from a musical and photographic background she started painting what was in front of her, hence the easy transition to plein air. Her favorite mentors came through attending workshops with Don Sahli, Mio Cirkovic and Greg Barnes who provided inspiration and guidance. Joann was instrumental in starting The Vail Valley Art Guild with Lynn Feiger and Karen Kalfas and has been involved in almost all aspects of the organization. Currently she chairs the Program Committee that helps organizes workshops for visiting artists, classes ,member meetings, demonstrations and special events as well as providing content and photos for the guild’s newsletter. Joann believes that the guild’s programs are a way to connect members with each other and experience the word of art. She spearheaded “ The Ranch Project”, a two- year effort by VVAG artists and photographers that documented sixteen area ranches in the Vail Valley culminating with a special presentation and exhibit with the Vail Symposium.

< Back Previous Melissa Nelson Painter It seems art has always been in my life, thanks to an interior designer mom, an artist aunt and Saturday classes at the Cleveland Art Museum when I was old enough to carry the prerequisite folding seat to various galleries. Next nonprofitplan@gmail.com With an Art History minor in college, Melissa embarked on a career as a writer and editor, followed by 15 years in Finance, followed by 20 years as Executive Director of several nonprofit organizations. During all these unlikely careers she took art classes at night or on weekends at the Denver Art Museum, Metro State College and the Denver Art Students’ League. Finally retiring in 2014, she was able to join the fledgling Vail Valley Art Guild’s workshops and begin painting and drawing with many talented (and becoming talented!) local artists. The Guild gave her the opportunity to show her work in four galleries, all Eagle County libraries, and at Colorado Mountain College's juried annual Vail Valley Fine Art Show. Other careers along the way have enabled her to step into the role of Board President, Treasurer and grant writer of this wonderful all-volunteer organization. Melissa has recently embarked on a project to add therapeutic arts and working with the underserved communities in Eagle County to her role as President. She hopes you will also join VVAG and help us grow. < Back Previous Next
