Luminaries

November 8, 2021 - January 20, 2022

Hamilton Gallery

“For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it” – Amanda Gorman, poet

Welcome to the winter art exhibition at Children’s Hospital Colorado. The winter months have their own special kinds of light. Sunrises and sunsets mark chilly days and nights. Bulbs sparkle and glow in the darkness. And the light that shines in every persons’ heart warms us with every smile, hug, and kind word. The word luminary means a person or object that provides brilliance and illumination. The 15 artists represented in this show explore this idea in many unique and different ways.
We hope while you enjoy the artwork you think about the people, places, and things in your life that give you LIGHT. May this gallery and all of Children’s Hospital be one of those places.

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary” -Aaron Rose, photographer

About the artist

Vickie Krudwig

When I received my first set of crayons in Kindergarten, I was over the moon with joy. The smell of wax and cardboard, and a set of primary colors allowed me to express myself to the world. I knew I wanted to be an artist then. I drew whenever I could, on paper, on sidewalks with chalk, and sometimes on the walls in our basement, much to my parents’ dismay. Sixty years later I still live and breathe art. It is in the images I create that the viewer will connect to my art in a more visceral way, reaching beyond what the eyes can see.
