30 DayS OF PaINt
Studio 12.12 is the creative home to Suzanne and John Stebila, but lately the two have been sharing their space with local artists, giving them a place to showcase new works. This May the paintings from Rebekah Nordstrom’s project “30 Paintings in 30 Days” will be featured at Aspen Loft Artists’ studio 12.12.
Ms. nordstrom began the project in January, and found the discipline of painting each day made painting fun and rewarding. The
artist first began painting three years ago, and enjoys painting in plein air as well as creating studies in her studio.
Over 30 small paintings will be on display at studio 12.12, 7 e. Aspen, with a First Friday Artwalk reception on May 6 6PM-9PM. 928/814-7997.
