Artist Program
At Ivy Lane we believe strongly in the creative process and all it encompasses. Our partnerships with local artists are an essential part of what makes our design and staging projects so special. As much as we cherish our creative side when it comes to staging, we appreciate that high quality art takes a space to a completely new level. Our artists are talented, thoughtful, kind individuals who we have unique and precious relationships with. We work diligently to sit with each person before they become an essential part of our team.

Alissa Davies
Alissa is an abstract, acrylic and mixed media painter who is fascinated by the way the creative process informs and guides all areas of life and makes the internal visible in nonverbal ways on canvas, wood or paper. She is influenced by the colors and patterns of the natural world, her children making art, and her own interior landscape.
Andy Pollock
Andy is a lifelong artist who has recently been inspired to share his work with the world. As a child, Andy used to paint with water on hot bricks. As he grew older, he became drawn to the world of paint: its vibrant colors, its amorphous nature, its glorious textures. The ritual of mixing and blending has always been a form of both reflection and catharsis for this Colorado-based spirit. Painting remains the ultimate form of Andy’s self-expression; each painting is driven by, and is a visual manifestation of, his energy and emotion, captured at a specific moment in time.
Ariana Barnstable
Ariana is an abstract artist currently based out of Boulder CO. Her work is vibrant and color driven and she enjoys mixing media on raw linen to create unique textures and bold palettes. Painting is a medium in which she can express feelings of joy and create artwork that instills a sense of peace in others.
Blaise Simonelli
Blaise Simonelli is an abstract expressionist painter, who works with acrylics and a variety of mark making tools. Her work portrays subtle movement with an emphasis on space, oftentimes creating an ethereal feel. Her paintings generate a soft yet provocative mood, through color and texture. Inspired by intuition, Blaise strives to harmonize quiet and bold space in her work, as representations of dichotomies and balance.
Bill Snider
The universe is a moving, spinning place ..... Bill has always been drawn to things that conveyed this energy. As a university student focusing on kinetic sculpture, as a filmmaker and now as a painter, this kinetic energy is central to his work. He builds up layers of paint, combine metallic elements and play them off against hardedge graphics to keep this movement alive in a dynamic built on contrast and juxtaposition.
Inga Pae
With subject matter that exists up and down the spectrum of possibility, Inga Pae’s photographic reveries are connected by the familiarity of raw emotion rendered in stunning (if not a bit perplexing) compositions. By playing with color, text, multiple exposures and a mixture of mediums, each series of Pae’s work is astonishingly distinct, yet wholly engrossed in mystery. Like the veils of light that stream in through floor-to-ceiling glass, Pae’s artwork in 3355 Vista Drive emerges as a delicate prelude to the space beyond consciousness.
Jess Davis
While receiving her B.F.A. Rose began to create handbags for extra funds. As a young adult she moved to New York City and interned for a couture designer and worked in Manhattan. However, Colorado was calling and after quite a few years Jess moved to Denver. It was only a matter of time when she would decide to focus on her own creative business. Every handbag, artwork or small good is created with great care, a deep love for art, & ambition to inspire.
Leah Prusiner
Leah, an artist residing in Lafayette, finds inspiration in the everyday beauty of nature - be it a bouquet of flowers or the hues of a sunrise. Her paintings, primarily in acrylic, dance between abstract landscapes and vibrant floral pieces, all imbued with expressive energy. Leah's paintings showcase her affinity for loose, free-flowing strokes. She also creates digital drawings of flowers, plants and animals that are colorful and whimsical.
Robin Kastenholz
Based in Longmont, CO, Robin is an artist who creates abstract art in a variety of organic mediums such as clay, water colors and acrylics. She started her pottery journey back in Ohio at a studio at Oberlin College and has carried that passion with her to Colorado. Inspired by nature, she lets the medium guide her process and is not afraid to explore new techniques.
Sahand Tabatabai
Sahand Tabatabai was born and raised in Iran in the 1940’s and 50’s where he apprenticed with an Iranian master of Persian painting and miniature art. His competencies are in painting, drawing, and sculpture. His fundamental training and understanding of real figurative art and landscapes creates the foundation for his deep exploration of the conceptual, and his extensive bodies of work in the abstract. His inspiration continually springs from his love and fascination with the natural world, both western and eastern art, as well as his relationships with beloved friends, family, and especially the children in his life.
Studio 6595
Studio SixtyFive Ninety five came about through Serge Goldberg’s and Jean Pless‘ interest in creating large paintings. They were previously working side by side in a shared studio in Boulder along with other artists. As they began to create larger paintings they quickly realized also quickly realized they’d need a bigger door just to get them out of the studio. So the hunt for a new space began.
They are now in a 3,000 square foot warehouse space with great natural light,and enough room for multiple paintings to be worked on simultaneously.
Will Day
William Day is an American painter known for his large-scale compositions of colorful shapes and energetic marks. Now living in Boulder, Colorado, Day can often be found in his studio working on multiple pieces at the same time. His process leads him to create paintings in series, each focusing on different nuances of the human experience. His works are comprised of textures and complex layers demonstrating his interaction with a canvas in a moment. These series of paintings all nod to certain periods of Day’s life that bring years of intensity, joy, spirituality, conflict and resolution to the canvas.
