Paintings by Emily Ballou

Art Walk Reception March 3rd, 5-8pm

For March-April, 2022, Telluride Arts HQ Gallery is featuring paintings by Emily Ballou. Emily lives, works, and plays in Telluride year-round.  She specializes in abstract acrylic paintings, often incorporating other mediums as well (gold leaf, inks, varnishes, and more). Emily is constantly pushing her work to have its own unique properties but consistently strives for vivacious color schemes and stimulating surface textures.

Emily is also one of 11 artists that were chosen to display their work on “The Cabins at Mountain Village” dining pods made from refurbished gondola cabins. The public art project adds vibrant works of art in high visibility areas throughout the Mountain Village Center, turning ordinary spaces into community landmarks. The project is a collaboration between Telluride Mountain Village Homeowners Association, the Town of Mountain Village, and Telluride Arts. Emily's original painting from this project is featured in her show at Telluride Arts HQ Gallery.
