Boulder 
          artist, Jan Kirkpatrick, is an avid hiker, backpacker, and rock climber 
          who has been seriously communicating her love of the out of doors for 
          nearly two decades in watermedia paintings that create a spirit of place 
          and space. 
        
"After 
          nearly 50 years of hiking I find I am still awestruck. My goal is to 
          always go beyond the factual window of our national wildlands to create 
          a spiritual and emotional expression of form, light and space -- the 
          essence of the wilderness experience."
