Blo Back Gallery in Pueblo, Colorado




Recently, the owner (and artist in his own right) Jeff Madden, photographed in front of his Blo Back Gallery (left to right: Stuart Wallace and Jeff Madden) invited two local artists to exhibit their work in his gallery. It was a great opportunity for Stuart Wallace and Eric McCue to display their latest works. Stuart likes to work on particularly large canvases which obviously suits some of the larger homes in the area. He works are internationally known. 

Eric McCue, owner of Iron E Art Studio is also based in Colorado. He is owner of Iron E. Art Studio. He focases on large scale public and private commissions. Some of Eric's pieces can be seen in these photographs with Stuart's artwork.

The Artifact -- New Advertising Agency in Town -


Stuart Wallace, originally from England, takes a rare and well-deserved day of relaxation in the San Isabel Mountains. He started his education by attending the Kansas City Art Institute, and, after a long history in the marketing/advertising agency starting in Kansas City, Missouri, then moved to Colorado with his sons where he created The Artifact Agency. “It’s been a long journey, but I like where I am and what I’m doing…” he said recently.” I’ve been in the advertising/marketing business for over 30 years, and I know it well…but branding is my specialty. I love to create whether it’s a relatively simple logo for a start-up, or a full-blown advertising/marketing campaign as I did for Willie Nelson and his marijuana company. I’ve also worked on many top 500 companies here in the U.S. that includes Monday Night Boxing, H & R Block, Burger King, etc., but I love to paint too. I was recently given a commission to paint a large canvas for Starbucks in Denver. I used their coffee as the medium in different strengths…leaving white canvas for the cream. That was a lot of fun."

A Personal Stylist


Elizabeth Sanders has an obvious love of fashion, color and style. I noticed it immediately when we met at a Cabi Collection show. We talked briefly at that time, but it was only later that I fully realized the extent of her capabilities, knowledge and understanding of fashion. From her years of working as a personal stylist, she takes into account many different factors. I asked Elizabeth how she begins a relationship with a client. “Well, first of all, I have to determine what their style is…for instance, do they prefer a more classical look, a romantic air, or a casual appearance-- or a mixture! I serve my clients through private styling appointments, trunk shows with small groups of women and closet transformation sessions. I also help my clients create wardrobe capsules out of 5 clothing pieces to create over 16 outfits. I enjoy finding that special piece of clothing in their wardrobe that they love, and start building around it. It’s surprising how it quickly it all comes together. I often work with the Cabi Collection, and trust that when my client chooses a specific color; say a navy blue…that color will never change because Cabi always use the same dye lot. That’s an important part in building a wardrobe. I want my clients to be happy and enjoy the clothes they wear---that’s what makes me happy.”
