Red Cliff Gallery
The Red Cliff Gallery is located in conjunction with the Aspen Grove Retreat and features two extremely talented Colorado artists. Artists Connie L. Morse and Dave Sime travel worldwide for inspiration. These experiences result in the diverse subject matter reflected in their paintings and sculptures. Those who are interested in fine art may wish to visit our Durango, Colorado art galleries and studio workshop to see works in progress. Connie and Dave are featured in the March/April issue of Wildlife Art
magazine in an article written by Judy Archibald entitled "A Tale of Three
Families".
"I feel that my art communicates my love for nature and the beauty that has been my pleasure to paint. For many years nature has been my instructor and the outdoors my studio."--Connie L. Morse

Connie works primarily in oil, and her bold brush
strokes and brilliant use of color make her style distinctive and
appealing. Her paintings involve the viewer with a sense of freedom
to interpret and explore a visual adventure. "Connie has a combination of spontaneity and control in her brush
strokes that takes years of experience to achieve" Professor, Lewis
Martsolf Cicotelo

Dave Sime has a deep sense of feeling, knowledge, and enthusiasm for both watercolor painting, and sculpture. He has spent a lifetime studying, sketching, painting and sculpting his western, Indian, wildlife, and landscape subjects. This allows him to sculpt clean lines and fluid forms into earthbound shapes that interpret the human or animal form. Artist's Statement: “I want my paintings and sculptures to communicate a sense of the story, attitude, time, and place that bond the artist and viewer in an emotional response.” "Dave Sime's subjects include Native Americans, wildlife and landscapes. His sculptures of Native Americans are expressive and display emotion as well as attention to detail, while those of wildlife have a dynamic quality." Charlotte Berney, Arts Editor Cowboys and Indians magazine |
