Wander + Wonder Women: Celebrating Female Explorers, Adventurers and Changemakers Past and Present
In this unique exhibit, local world map artist, Charlotte Bassin, uses her research into the lives of more than a dozen women who were/are ahead of their time in the realms of exploration, science, activism and art to create a series of maps. On their journeys some of these women set out to break records, others to educate and to make discoveries; all of them succeeded in breaking boundaries, finding freedom and making positive change in the world. Each artistic world map is a celebration of an individual’s story, inspiring viewers to get out there, see the world, tell their own story and make change while doing it.

'Elements' Exhibit at 40 West Gallery Opening Reception
Classical elements typically refer to the states of matter: earth (solid), water (liquid), air (gas), fire (plasma) and aether (upper sky). Elements are the simplest form of existence, of everything in existence.
This juried art show exhibits work that ties into the elements, directly or metaphysically. Come see the debut of my newest, and edgiest, artistic world map, Life Force, created with my blood mixed with resin!
Exhibit runs through November 23.

The Watering Hole: TatZOO at Denver Zoo
I have been invited as a guest artist/photographer to this fun event at Denver Zoo. I’ll be there to photograph willing participants with plant and animal tattoos who want their body art to be featured in a Wander + Wonder World Map. In preparation for the event, I created this animal tattoo map to be used as an example of what the final artwork might look like.
If you or a friend have tattoos that you want featured in my artwork, come to the event… or even if you don’t, come have a good time!

World ART DROP Day
I participated in this last year and it was so much fun that I’m doing it again. Last year I gave away two world maps (hidden around Denver) - this year I’m giving away a lot more and I’m doing it closer to home. I’ll be hiding a bunch of my artistic world maps in and around Golden along with local artists from Foothills Art Center Open Studio.
Check my Wander + Wonder World Maps FB page and/or the Art Drop Denver FB page all day long for clues on where to find them and other amazing artists’ free art!
Art Drop Day is the brain-child of Jake Parker of Provo, UT.
“The world needs this right now. We need to feel a little more connection to each other and there's nothing like the bond two random strangers can make through the act of creating and giving.” - Jake Parker
Here’s a sneak peek of what you can find!
