Local Love

February 2024 PUBLISHER

Andy Manz | amanz@citylifestyle.com M AN AG I N G E D I TO R

Kate Manz | kmanz@citylifestyle.com

It's the month of love! As we enter into the world of all things cupid and hearts and pink, it's a time to celebrate not only romantic relationships but also the bonds that tie us to our local roots. This year, let us extend our affection beyond the traditional Valentine's Day sentiments, and embrace the concept of "local love." Our community is enriched by the remarkable individuals who contribute to its vibrancy—local heroes, business owners and those who work tirelessly to make an impact. Love is all things unity. In this month of love, let us also pay tribute to the achievements and contributions of Black leaders, as February is more importantly Black History Month. The stories within this issue are only a few of the many to be told, but I hope it reminds us all to make this February not only a celebration of romance, but also a heartfelt tribute to the interconnected bonds that make our community extraordinary.

Empowerment Step into the Museum for Black Girls, Where Vibrant Art, Joyful Celebration and Empowering Stories Illuminate the Essence of Black Womanhood

ARTICLE BY EMMA REED PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER

In the heart of Denver, Colorado, a transformative experience awaits those who step into the Museum for Black Girls. Founded in 2019 by Charlie Billingsley and Von Ross, this immersive pop-up sensory museum has not only garnered attention for its vibrant art installations but has also become a powerful platform for celebrating Black womanhood, fostering community and challenging societal norms. With the mission of allowing "each

guest to leave the experience feeling motivated and inspired to create their own beautiful stories and history," the exhibit continues to redefine the traditional museum experience. The Museum for Black Girls had humble beginnings in a small shoppette in Denver, where Charlie Billingsley, a photographer, and her aunt, Von Ross, came together to create a space that would uplift and inspire young Black women. The idea stemmed from a poignant moment CONTINUED >

when Billingsley's daughter sought solace after facing discrimination at her predominantly white elementary school. What started as a onenight event evolved into a full-fledged museum, attracting over 300 people on its opening night and turning into a traveling exhibition that has left an indelible mark on communities in Denver, Houston and Washington D.C. The success of the Museum for Black Girls is rooted in collaboration and community strength. Ross emphasizes the involvement of local artists who work tirelessly together, sometimes from morning till late at night to bring the exhibits to life. The museum, as Ross describes it, is like "a traditional museum and Meow Wolf got married and had a kid." This unique combination results in immersive rooms, interactive art installations and curated moments that celebrate the achievements and contributions of Black women. It's with great honor and excitement that Denver gets to play host once again to the Museum for Black Girls. The exhibit has returned to the Mile High City, open now on the 16th Street Mall inside the Denver Pavilions on the second floor, offering its signature vibrant and immersive experience near Lucky Strikes and the United Artist Movie Theatre. The Museum for Black Girls challenges the conventional museum narrative. While many museums focus on the past, this vibrant space concentrates on the present, honoring the strength of ancestors while celebrating the achievements of Black women today. The exhibits, characterized by vibrant aesthetics, mirrors and an affirmation wall, serve as a celebration of self-love and a reminder of strength and courage. “We find out that we are more alike than we are different and we get to celebrate the differences," Von explains. "When you have an understanding of where people are coming from, then it dispels the fears and the myths." The Museum for Black Girls is more than just an art exhibition; it's a celebration of magic, a love letter to Black women and a space that transcends traditional museum expectations. As it makes its triumphant return to Denver, the museum continues to be a beacon of joy, empowerment and community for all who enter its vibrant and transformative space.

Perfectly Aligned This Denver Orthodontist Blends Highly Functional Practices with Elevated Amenities

ARTICLE BY LINDEN BUTRYM PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEPHANIE MIKULS

From a young age, Kentucky native Dr. Amanda Vanderstelt had an artistic side and a keen eye for detail (impressively, she taught herself to French braid at just six years old). Amanda envisioned herself becoming a plastic surgeon, but when she realized she didn’t love working in a chaotic hospital environment, she pivoted and applied to dental school. A chance encounter with renowned Louisville, Kentucky orthodontist Dr. Douglas Knight sparked her interest in the vocation. When it came time to apply for an externship, Amanda looked him up. “I spent the summer learning from him,” she says. “He did high-end orthodontics, complex cases. I traveled across the country for different lectures with the most high-caliber practitioners in the world. The interesting thing about orthodontics in parallel to plastic surgery is that we change the face, and there’s also an aesthetic component to a smile that goes beyond teeth. It’s jaw structure. I knew in my heart and soul that this is what I was going to do.” After relocating to Denver, Amanda worked several orthodontic jobs for a decade, honing her expertise with Invisalign and high-quality orthodontic care. Gradually, the landscape of the local dental industry shifted into corporations buying and running smaller offices—often at the expense of offering superior care. This led Amanda to open her own private practice, aligned. Functional + Cosmetic Orthodontics (www.alignedonpearl.com), this past fall in Denver’s Platt Park neighborhood. Her traditional services include teeth whitening, metal and clear braces, lingual braces, Invisalign and orthodontics in combination with jaw surgery and airway health improvement, yet Amanda offers a unique approach to orthodontics that others in her field do not. Holistically, she looks at the CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/C H E R RYC R E E K

entire body from an interdisciplinary perspective, examining the jaw, airway and tongue, to determine the root cause of why a patient is experiencing certain oral or airway health problems that often include serious disorders like sleep apnea and sleep-disordered breathing. “We live in a progressive city, but still, I find most pediatricians and Ear, Nose and Throat doctors (ENTs) to be in the mindset of treating symptoms of tonsils and adenoids only when they’re causing strep throat repeatedly, rather than looking at the entire structure of the airway: tonsils, adenoids, the nasal passageway, the tongue and jaw structure,” Amanda says. “We need to intervene before the problems are irreversible or widespread in the body.” Recently, Amanda cared for a patient in his 50s who wanted to correct his deep bite. During an initial exam, she noticed his small airway and wondered if he suffered from sleep apnea, which he did— but no doctor had properly diagnosed him, and he wasn’t aware of how serious

NOW OP E N | HEALTH + WE LLN E SS

his condition was. Double jaw surgery corrected his sleep apnea as well as his bite. A five-year-old with sleeping troubles who had seen an ENT to no avail also came to Amanda, who discovered that his adenoids were completely blocking his nasal passageway. “I sent the results to the ENT to show that this was classic sleep disorder breathing,” Amanda says. “They just figured the child’s tonsils weren’t that big, so they didn’t scope the adenoids. When they did take them out, this kid was a completely different person. He was excited to wake up in the morning, and he stopped struggling to focus at school.” When functionally treated, children can significantly improve their quality of life for years to come. Even adults, though older, can correct and manage their long-term problems when given effective and efficient treatment. In addition to a functional approach to orthodontics, Amanda also offers a warm, spa-like ambiance within her practice. Patients can use Beats by Dre headphones, watch Netflix

on TVs above the chairs, dab essential oils on a warm bamboo cloth and get cozy under weighted blankets. Her Australian Labradoodle, Benny, also makes adults and children alike feel more comfortable. Think luxury wellness clinic rather than dental office. Amanda’s dedication to her craft and to creating a high-quality experience is especially evident when she speaks about her passion for giving back to the Denver community (Pearl Street Farmers Market, toy drives, elementary school fundraisers), her dream for the future and the inspiration behind the name of her business. “I’m a connector, and I make things happen,” she shares. “I want to connect like-minded practitioners who deal with airway issues so that we can be cohesive with how we manage the way these issues impact our body’s health. ‘Aligned’ is such a powerful name for me because it’s the way I practice and the values I stand for. Your life will blossom when your vision, your values, your actions and your people are aligned.”

In the heart of the Five Points community, a culinary phoenix is set to rise from the ashes. Welton Street Cafe, a beloved restaurant and community hub, is reopening its doors after a two-year closure. Once a cornerstone of the neighborhood, this iconic restaurant is not merely returning, but resurrecting with it an era of memories, flavors and community spirit. Moving into a new location after leaving its home of 22 years comes with mixed emotions, but one thing is for sure: the restaurant’s reopening is breathing new energy into the streets that have long yearned for the comforting embrace of Welton Street Cafe.

Fathima Dickerson, who co-owns and runs the soul-food restaurant with her family, has continuously referred to Welton Street Cafe as a “third space”. “Places that are needed to function properly in life,” Fathima says. A third place is a space outside of the workplace and home, where you can just be. We know that these places are important, but Fathima explains that Welton Street has taught her why they’re important. “Everyone needs a place where you can come in, let your hair down, loosen your tie and take off the mask that we all wear in everyday life,” says Fathima. “Welton Street is that. It feeds the mind, body and soul.” For 25 years, Welton Street Cafe has been a pillar in the Five Points community. Standing as the oldest black-owned restaurant in Denver, it has withstood the test of time thanks to its down-home roots and impressively loyal customer base. Fathima

LOCA L’S CH OICE | F OOD + BEVERAGE

describes it as an anchor for the Welton Street corridor, as they have watched the environment change around them throughout the years. With its undeniable sense of warmth and inclusion, the restaurant and family have been a consistent and grounding presence in the neighborhood. Welton Street Cafe has created a legacy woven with generations of passion. One of nine children, Fathima and her two sisters Cenya and Chereka, brother Fathim and parents Flynn and Ms. Mona, bring new meaning to “family owned and operated”. “My parents have a lot of kids,” says Fathima. “When you have a lot of kids, you open a restaurant.” The restaurant is an embodiment of shared dreams and collective effort. The family’s pride in their establishment extends beyond their confidence in the food but rather shows their unwavering commitment to fostering a welcoming haven for the

community they cherish. People don’t just come to eat but to be a part of a community, for the community. “We are a family and we service families. We feed families,” Fathima says. “In a world that’s changing, we feed every generation, every walk of life, people of every socio-economic status and background. It’s a beautiful thing.” Designing this new space has not come without its plethora of challenges, but Fathima speaks from her desire to create something special for the Black community, and that speaks to the vibrancy of the Black experience. The space will be bright, lively and open; similar to the energy in which Fathima and her family exude. It’s updated, larger than the previous and will lack clutter. In every curated detail, Welton Street Cafe emerges as a testament to the transformative power of community-centered spaces, embracing

diversity and fostering pride for all who enter its doors, old and new faces alike. “The Black community deserves beautiful spaces,” Fathima says. “We don’t have a lot of newer spaces where we can celebrate life, and we want to make sure that we can offer that to people.” The reopening of Welton Street Cafe will no doubt make the past two years of closure worth it for Fathima, her family and its loyal and longing customers. “Every day I wake up and feel like I’m running full speed. We are, and have been, fighting for our lives,” Fathima says. But the sound of excitement and fulfillment in her voice tells me that this is just the beginning of a new and even better chapter for the restaurant and its patrons. “I really can’t wait,” says Fathima. “Because this is my favorite place on earth.” CONTINUED >

A MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY R&R Takes on a New Meaning with A-Frame Club ARTICLE BY KAILEY BEUERLEIN PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEPHAN WERK AND KYLIE FITTS

My stay at A-Frame Club, nestled away in Winter Park, CO, helped me understand the true meaning of “hygge”. A friend of mine adores the word and has tried to incorporate it into our lives for a little over 5 years now. I have no shame in saying that I just didn’t get it. But pulling up to the tucked away parking lot of A-Frame Club and being greeted by an illuminated sign reading “A-FRAME CLUB. KEEP YOUR TIPS UP”, I knew this escape was going to be something special. “Hygge” (noun) is regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture and is defined as “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being." In essence, it means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm burn of a candle is hygge. Sipping on hot chocolate by the fire is hygge. A-Frame Club? Totally hygge. The new hotel brand takes design cues from 1970s American ski culture and the iconic a-frame cabins of that era. This first club in Winter Park consists of 31 modular cabins, with a restaurant and bar in a historic saloon building that sits less than a mile from the base of Winter Park Resort. Constructed by Zeppelin

T R AV E L J OU R N A L | T R AVEL

Development in partnership with Skylab Architecture, the newly constructed cabins sit adjacent to the Fraser River and are all connected by a network of boardwalks that instantly transport guests into a world of solitude, bringing relaxation and refuge after a day of skiing or mountain biking and providing a picturesque mountain escape. Walking into the cabin itself took my breath away, as I basked in the tall ceilings, beautiful birch wood throughout, and yes, glowing, hygge lighting. I was filled with warmth instantly (the heated bathroom floors may have helped with that a bit). The mid-century-inspired cabins are adorned with everything needed for a sweet winter night in; a fully stocked kitchenette, a lofted bedroom, a custom Malm fireplace and even a soaking tub. Vintage furnishings fill the space, with ultra-tall glass windows, letting the natural light cascade onto the birch and cedar panel walls. The amenity touches inside the cabin elevated the comfort level, and made me feel like I was on a secret mountain spa retreat, wearing my cozy Matouk robe with slippers to match. The modern yet cozy cabin rang true to A-Frame Club’s own words: “You experience a better kind of mountain life when you stay with us.”

Along with the meticulously designed cabins, the FrenchAlpine-inspired saloon transports patrons to an apres-ski dream. Vintage pictures line the walls and soft 70’s dance music fills the restaurant and bar. The restaurant, bar and outdoor patio have a menu filled with locally sourced delicious classics to eat and craft cocktails to pair. I was lucky enough to visit the weekend their holiday decor was put up, filling the saloon with extra added cheer and comfort. I couldn’t keep my eyes off the Christmas tree topped with a firetruck red ski boot as the star. Hygge at its finest. The vibes curated at A-Frame Club are second to none. The 70s-chic ski aesthetic is fun and refreshing, but not overpowering. It pays homage to a simpler time, with cabins at the base of a ski hill, setting the scene for a spectacular apres-ski experience. The service was exemplary, reigning true to classic mountain hospitality. It’s intentional. It creates a genuine escape where everything else fades away, except for what’s directly in front of you.

“You experience a better kind of mountain life when you stay with us.”

SCULPTING ARTICLE BY KAILEY BEUERLEIN

The Art of Crafting Folsom Custom Skis In the heart of the snow-covered Rockies, where passion for powder meets craftsmanship, Folsom Custom Skis stands as a testament to the fusion of artistry and precision. Owner Mike McCabe co-founded Folsom Custom Skis in November 2008 and has been on a journey through the slopes and the workshop ever since. A Colorado native, Mike grew up skiing in the Rocky Mountains starting at age 2. After skiing in the CU Boulder Freestyle Program, he recognized his desire to ski bigger, more natural lines, and pivoted to the freeride scene. Staying close to the ski world, Mike met co-founded Jordan Grano in Boulder, where they started building skis in Jordan’s garage in 2007 just off Folsom Street (hence the name). Creating skis for the past 17 years and in business for 15, Mike is now operating out of a 10,000-square-foot private manufacturing facility. “I have built this facility for over a decade, and we remain one of only a handful of manufacturers in the ski and snowboard space manufacturing in the USA with every process under one roof,” says Mike. In doing so, they can maintain their approach and ethos. “Making custom skis is extremely complicated and

requires a lot of equipment and know-how. I didn’t want to rely on any outsourcing, so we could maintain the absolute highest, best quality while maintaining an eco-friendly footprint.” Building about 1,000 skis a year, the team at Folsom Custom Skis takes an unbelievable amount of pride in each and every ski. “We strive to change the paradigm of how outdoor products are built and delivered,” says Mike. As skis are typically built overseas and in massive quantities with unethical practices, collaborating with Folsom Custom Skis not only guarantees unparalleled

craftsmanship, but also ensures an ethical and reliable partnership that reflects their commitment to sustainability and customer satisfaction. Working with the team to design and create your dream skis is another fun and memorable experience in itself. “The product we build is tailored to the end user creating a much better user experience and customer support,” says Mike. “You will have a ski that has more personality to it, and something that you can use to grow quicker as a skier, as they will feel better and last longer.” CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/C H E R RYC R E E K

With a small core team consisting of Christian Downing (chief engineer), Bailey Ashe (production manager), Erin Hurd (graphic design), Alden Kiarsis (production technician), Max Pugh (production technician) and Ryan Prentice (web developer/graphic designer), Mike knows that finding good people is the key of running a successful small business. “The ski industry is shiny from the outside and has a lot of people that want to get involved,” he says. “Our team is dialed in. We keep our crew small so we can be ultra-efficient and make this work in the long term.” To see the benefits of buying local and custom, the proof is in the pudding. By choosing Folsom, their team gets to know your style, targets, and ultimately, you. They have three tiers to get skis: Retail (they have their own retail program as well as Powder 7 out of Golden), Semi-Custom (brought back for the ‘24/’25 season) and Full-Custom (ideal for customers unsure of where to start, or looking for a highly customized/personalized graphic set). Typically, custom configurations require around two weeks for production once all elements of the build are assembled and ready to go. While creating custom skis for local clientele, the Folsom team also builds a lot of niche, powder-specific skis, and this season have partnered with some of the coolest pow access organizations out there: Chugach Powder Guides out of Girwood, AK and Keefer Lake Lodge out of Kelwona, BC. “We are doing demo fleets for both, and will have some of the most amazing powder skis to try out through them!” says Mike. “We are also releasing a specific ski developed for deep, deep, deep heli access, called Rotor,” he says; the product released at the end of January. On top of their custom creations, the team at Folsom is consistently generating fresh ski designs and ideas to cater to the evolving needs of their clientele. The most exciting innovation of the ‘24/’25 season? The Junior Trade Program. The program, ready to launch publicly next year, targets kids from ages 6-7 and allows enrollment until ages 13-14. The program will offer premium skis and bindings that the kids can use for the season to be returned at the end of the year, for $250. “This particular age group is the most underserved group in skiing,” Mike says. “And above that, these kiddos are growing fast, so it is likely that they’ll outgrow their skis in one year.” What started out internally for friends and family a couple of years ago has turned into a full-blown program due to the unbelievably positive response from both parents and kids. “The kids are stoked on the skis, and the parents are stoked on the price,” Mike says. “We will have about 100 pairs of skis available in the program next season.” Through exploring the innovation and art that defines Folsom Custom Skis, it’s clear that Mike’s small, but mighty team aligns with every skier’s aspiration: to get out on the mountains as quickly, safely and as confidently as possible. “Quality counts,” says Mike. In this realm where precision merges with passion, Folsom Custom Skis transcends mere branding; it stands as a pledge to provide an unparalleled skiing adventure, where skillful craftsmanship and unwavering commitment converge for the ultimate slope experience.

MATZO BALL SOUP DUMPLINGS – EL FIVE

Justin Cucci’s El Five has been a staple in Denver’s Lohi for over six years and has gained a hip and raving following since day one. The décor is as eclectic as the menu—the walls plastered with old-school Egyptian and Turkish movie posters—if you can actually peel your eyes away from the stunning view on the fifth floor. El Five’s take on matzo ball soup finds itself nixing the bowl and doubling the comfort factor by presenting it in the form of a succulent soup dumpling. Filled with chicken sausage, mirepoix and a collagen-rich bit of chicken bone broth, make sure you place the parcel in a soup spoon and pierce it open with a chopstick to get the full umami experience of full-bodied, piquant broth followed by a delicate, pillowy dumpling.

POZOLE – LA DIABLA POZOLE Y MEZCAL

Recently recognized by Colorado’s first Michelin guide in 2023 as a Bib Gourmand selection, chef Jose Avila’s La Diabla Pozole y Mezcal brings pozole—a traditional Mexican soup made with hominy—front and center by featuring a customizable concoction of both traditional and unique ingredients. Choose from traditional rojo, verde or blanco broth, or opt for the negro version, spiked with charred chilies. There’s also a vegan version infused with chayote squash and mushroom for the plant-based folks. Top off your pozole with lettuce, radish, cabbage, onion and a squeeze of lime to suit your taste. Add avocado, a poached egg or chicharrons (fried pork rind) to build on the abundance of savory and spice. Pair your pozole with a flight of mezcal and let the smoky and complex libations heighten your experience.

SICHUAN BRAISED BEEF NOODLE SOUP – ZOE MA MA

Union Station’s Zoe Ma Ma (with another outpost in Boulder) ties together a fast-casual and unpretentious atmosphere with traditional Chinese street food infused with the love that comes from real home cooking. Their traditional Sichuan Braised Beef Noodle Soup—only available SundayTuesday—is an amalgamation of chewy handmade noodles enriched with egg, fallapart braised beef, bok choy, zesty pickles and whole chilies, steeped in a deep and complex beef broth. The fork-tender beef is reminiscent of the most decadent of comfort foods, the humble pot roast, with the addition of heat and vibrant flavors of anise and exotic chilies. Wash down the generous bowl with green tea infused with ginger and a little sugar to combat the intensity of the chilies. photo by Eric Tsao.

PHO & BAR – PHO

The energetic and animated atmosphere at Pho & Bar matches its take on traditional Vietnamese fare with a creative bar program to match. It’s hard to beat a bowl of piping hot pho with your choice of beef—yours truly tends to gravitate towards the paper-thin slices of raw beef that cook up rare upon entering their brothy bath. A side of sriracha and hoisin sauce for dipping and you’re set. At Pho & Bar, you can go with the traditional broth infusion of onion, cinnamon, ginger and star anise or opt for a spicy version with the addition of shrimp paste and lemongrass. Vegans are covered with a meatless broth option and your choice of tofu or vegetables (or both). Don’t forget the side of crispy five-spice fries to dunk in your soup. Get an ice-cold mule in a copper mug to match with your soup and savor the juxtaposition of frigid and steamy hot.

SERA’S RAMEN ENCLAVE – SPICY DASHI RAMEN

At Sera’s Ramen Enclave, a little bit north of Sloan’s Lake in Denver, many styles and unique flavors are covered at this PanAsian haven for ramen lovers. With a wide range of selections for both herbivores and omnivores, as well as many gluten-free options, Sera’s is ready to please every ramen connoisseur. Take a seat in the bustling, yet cozy, dining room replete with hip-hop on the hifi, and enjoy Sera’s Spicy Dashi Ramen, a guest favorite. The creamy mix of dashi miso and briny bonito flakes infuse the chicken broth base. Bits of tender grilled chicken, enoki mushrooms and slices of kamaboko garnish the dish, finished with a perfectly poached quail egg. Don’t miss the well-curated sake selection. In a city of top-quality ramen spots, Sera’s is a surefire standout.

FISH N BEER – CLAM AND ANDOUILLE CHOWDER

For those East Coast transplants looking for a taste of home, look no further than Fish N Beer. A piping hot bowl of “chowdah” is waiting for you, along with some fresher-than-fresh oysters and an uber-chill atmosphere. Fish N Beer’s Clam and Andouille Chowder is a standout on their ocean-heavy menu. The base of a luxurious and chunky traditional New England-style clam chowder is studded with a pleasant surprise of spicy andouille sausage to add a little meaty Cajun kick to a well-executed steamy seafood delicacy in landlocked Colorado. Don’t miss out on the oysters—both East and West Coast selections—on the half shell or baked in their wood fire oven with garlic butter.

Artist Topher Straus Imbues His Unlikely and Harrowing Travel Experiences Into his Pioneering Paintings

ARTICLE BY TONY FIRESTINE

The Journey of an Artist

A RT IST ’S PA LE T T E | ARTS + CU LT U RE

“As Topher continues to evolve artistically, his travels remain an integral source of inspiration.” For many artists, their path involves a clear and deliberate trajectory. However, some individuals, like acclaimed artist Topher Straus, take a more unconventional and unexpected route. Topher’s story is one of serendipity and a relentless pursuit of passion, intertwined with a mosaic of experiences that have shaped both his life and his distinctive artistic style. Before officially stepping into the role of a professional artist, Topher had been quietly producing art for over three decades. For years, he kept these pieces hidden, going so far as to remove the paintings from his walls before welcoming visitors—until his son inspired him to reveal his heart and soul to the world. Six years ago, Topher made a profound shift from his previous creative roles in acting, film direction and video game production to embrace the world of art. Today, his remarkable paintings adorn galleries across the United States and line the walls of his avid collector’s homes, signifying the culmination of a journey that was both unexpected and exhilarating. Reflecting on this transformation, Topher shares, "In my wildest dreams, I couldn't have imagined that I'd not only be an artist, but a successful one

at that." He goes on to explain that his success isn't measured merely by how many paintings he sells, but by the profound gratitude he feels for his work and the ability to channel his passion into meaningful contributions to organizations that he believes in. Topher has raised over $100,000 for various charities through his art, aligning his success with a commitment to give back to communities affected by different experiences portrayed in his work and beyond. Topher’s meticulous process draws from photography, collage and immersive experiences. He envelops himself in various landscapes, from foreign lands to serene aspen groves, capturing the essence of these moments through photography. These images serve as a reference for his digital painting, where his work takes shape with meticulous precision, using a stylus and computer. The process doesn't adhere to a strict timeline; instead, Topher believes each painting represents a lifetime of experiences. His creative journey extends beyond the completion of a piece, immersing himself virtually in different environments and refining details to achieve a harmonious blend of nature's rhythm in CONTINUED > FEB R UARY 2 0 2 4 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/C H E R RYC R E E K

his work. The pinnacle of Topher's technique involves fabricating the finished painting using recycled aluminum and a specialized heat transfer process. This unique method not only embeds colors directly into the metal but also captures the essence of surrounding light, ensuring that each piece interacts with its environment and reflects the viewer's presence. Topher's artistic journey isn't solely about his innovative technique. As a true voyager seeking adventure, his travels have become an integral part of his artistic process, influencing his creative vision in profound ways. Visiting places like Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan, Israel, Italy and England, in 2023 alone, Topher finds inspiration in diverse cultures, weaving these experiences into his artwork. Among his adventures, he’s unexpectedly ended up in some incredibly harrowing circumstances. For example, he laid witness to the wrath and destruction of the Maui wildfires on a trip to Hawaii this past August, culminating in his Maui Strong six painting series in which portions of his sales were donated to the Maui Strong Fund. Topher goes on to explain the chilling details of how he found himself in the middle of Israel at the onset of war on that agonizing day this past October 7. "I see these moments not as a curse but as an opportunity to capture my understanding of the experience in my work," says Topher. In the early fall, he was commissioned by the Jewish National Fund to create a painting for their global conference in Colorado and his penchant for travel led him to a last-minute trip to Israel to gain inspiration. On his first full day in Tel Aviv, he found himself in the middle of the start of the conflict, missiles exploding right above him. For the next five days, he swiftly moved from shelter to shelter, trying to find a way back home to Colorado. On his third

unnerving attempt at boarding, he finally got out on a plane to Italy—the pilot explained that they were a target while in the air. After reaching altitude, a collective sigh washed over the aircraft. Topher woke up looking out of the aircraft window onto a serene Italian farmscape. Through this traumatic event, Topher created two exquisite works: “Jerusalem”, capturing the frenetic energy of an Israeli cityscape on the brink of war; and “Safe”, the calming view from his airplane window in Italy, at peace from imminent danger. In addition to his gallery exhibitions, Topher offers limited and special editions, preserving exclusivity and value for collectors. His dedication to maintaining the integrity and exclusivity of his pieces resonates deeply, ensuring that each artwork carries a unique story and evolving value for collectors. Furthermore, Topher extends a personal touch to his patrons by offering private studio tours. These exclusive experiences allow serious collectors to witness

his creative process firsthand and forge a personal connection with the artist behind the canvas. As Topher continues to evolve artistically, his travels remain an integral source of inspiration. His upcoming series inspired by Southeast Asia promises to bring transformative and diverse narratives to life, reflecting his continual growth as an artist. His enigmatic and adventurous personality reverberates in both his stories of his extensive travels and his vibrant and powerful art. For Topher Straus, art isn't just about aesthetics; it's an immersive journey that intertwines with life's unpredictable adventures. With an unwavering commitment to storytelling and a passion for diverse cultures, he continues to build a canvas that transcends boundaries and captivates hearts worldwide.
