After a day of guided backcountry skiing and adventure in the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe, the artists loaded their work into CX-50s and headed to Alpenglow Gallery. There, each artist displayed a collection of work celebrating nature and exploration.

John Fellows

John Fellows is a Crested Butte, Colorado based artist and designer whose signature “contemporary folk” style weaves together hand carved linoleum block prints, layers of found paper and handwritten text to create an old time, hands-on feel but with a graphic modern look. He draws inspiration from his travels and adventures around the world.
