One of the best parts of living in Estes Park is discovering the local businesses that make this mountain community so special. From restaurants and outdoor outfitters to art galleries and boutiques, the town is full of passionate people pouring their hearts into what they do. In this Signature Spotlight, Julie Abel visits Aspen and Evergreen Art Gallery to meet the new owners and explore one of Estes Park's most beloved creative spaces.

Whether you are a longtime local, a seasonal visitor, or considering a move to Colorado's mountain communities, Aspen and Evergreen is a must-visit destination that captures the creative spirit of this town.

A New Chapter for an Estes Park Favorite

Aspen and Evergreen Art Gallery has been a part of the Estes Park community since 2000, bringing Colorado art to locals and visitors for over two decades. The gallery recently entered an exciting new chapter under the ownership of Velina and Dave Davidson, who fell in love with both the store and the town after moving to Estes Park about two and a half years ago.

Velina's journey to ownership started as a customer, then as a featured artist, and eventually as someone who worked in the gallery alongside previous owner Jason. As she describes it, she fell in love with the art, the customers, and the entire vibe of the space. When the opportunity to buy the gallery came along, she jumped at the chance.

That kind of organic, passion-driven story is exactly what makes Estes Park's local business community so special. It is the kind of place where people follow their hearts, put down roots, and build something meaningful.

75 Colorado Artists Under One Roof

One of the most impressive things about Aspen and Evergreen is the sheer variety of art and artists represented. The gallery features work from 75 Colorado artists, including several who call Estes Park home. Because Estes Park is a small town, the gallery draws talent from across the state, with artists coming from Loveland, Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, Littleton, and many other communities.

The range of mediums is remarkable. You will find pottery, oil and acrylic paintings, photography, collage, encaustic art, jewelry, glass work, wood art, metal art, mosaics, cards, stickers, and more. Every visit feels a little different because the artists are always creating new pieces, and new artists join the gallery regularly.

Each artist has a card displayed on the gallery wall, so visitors can learn about the creative minds behind the work. It is a thoughtful touch that connects buyers directly to the artists and their stories.

What Makes This Gallery Special

When asked about her favorite part of running the gallery, Velina says it is impossible to choose just one thing. She loves being surrounded by gorgeous art every day, but what really stands out is the conversations she gets to have with customers. People come into the gallery because they love Estes Park, they love the Rocky Mountains, and they are drawn to the art. Those shared passions lead to meaningful connections that go beyond a simple transaction.

As Velina puts it, art heals the soul. Visitors feel that energy when they walk through the door, and the gallery becomes a place where people connect with creativity, community, and the beauty of Colorado's mountain landscape.

The gallery truly reflects all four seasons of Estes Park living. Whether you are drawn to vibrant summer landscapes, golden fall aspens, snow-covered peaks, or the fresh greens of spring, you will find art that captures every season of mountain life.
