"Enjoy the View" at Artists on Santa Fe Gallery & Studios

DENVER, CO— Artists on Santa Fe invites the public to “Enjoy the View,” an exhibition of Lisa Calzavara’s abstract landscape paintings, on display, May 14 – June 15, 2026. The series highlights her distinct style in which she seamlessly flows disparate natural elements together through bright colors and contrast, slowly and subtlety revealing the splendor of the terrain. The show is open for visitors during regular gallery hours as listed below and during the following special events: Opening Reception: Third Friday, May 15, 5 – 8 p.m. Sundays on Santa Fe Art Walk: May 31, 12 – 4 p.m. First Friday Art Walk: June 5, 5 – 8 p.m. Calzavara explains her process for creating these striking works of art: “When I begin my projects, I focus on an emotion or overall feeling I would like to convey. I focus on high contrast and interesting light structures to develop compositions with movement. Most of the shapes are organic with lost and found edges which encourages you to use your experiences to complete the composition. I basically try to simplify the elements but still maintain the essence to allow the spirit of the painting to emerge.” Calzavara has been creating art professionally for over 20 years. Trained in multiple mediums including oils, acrylics, encaustics and resins, she is able to design a variety of unique artwork. Her series span realism, abstraction, impressionism and surrealism. In addition to juried shows and exhibits, her work has been shown in The Colorado Gallery of the Arts, Littleton Historical Museum, The Arvada Center, Foothills Art Center, Spark Gallery, Lone Tree Arts Center, Sync Gallery, and D’art Gallery. She is currently a member of Artists on Santa Fe. In addition to the scheduled exhibition, Artists on Santa Fe Gallery, 747 Santa Fe Drive, showcases the work of member artists ranging from sculptors and painters to printmakers and jewelers. The building is also home to the working studios of 25 + artists. Visitors are invited to explore and discover this exciting and enduring creative hub. Spring hours are Mondays, and Thursdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays, 11 am to 5 pm and Sundays, Noon to 4 p.m., and Wednesdays by appointment. Open extended evening hours for art walks on the First and Third Friday of each month. For more information visit www.artistsonsantafe.com.
