About The Tour

James Biggers is humbled and honored to be selected as the 2022 Legacy Artist for the Colorado Governor’s Show. Looking at the world with a different eye, James Biggers looks for more than merely seeing the natural beauty of a scene. He tries to find the emotions that are tied up within a subject and portray those in his paintings.

Beauty is hidden in plain sight. My work is a joyful interpretation of the divine details which surround us. Reflections on dewdrops, peeling paint, beetle paths, wood grain and patterns in natural or human made structures are captured and highlighted by my lens, witness to the order inherent in the universe.

I am new to Estes Park, got here shortly before COVID started. I come from a family of artists. I am trained as a photographer, film maker, poet and printer. It has been nearly twenty-five years since I began making 3-dimensional assemblages and 2-dimensional collages, an artistic journey that led me to abstract and text-based painting.

John has always been passionate about working with wood. His devotion to reclaiming fallen trees—and finding a way for Mother Nature to have a second chance to show off her beauty—led him to the lathe and woodturning. Watch John turning utilitarian bowls and decorative items in his expansive wood studio.

I get excited about the reuse of materials. Most of my work is a process of rediscovering a new use for a material that may be considered scrap or clutter. Rusty, chipped, weathered by the elements, fires, floods and other natural events create a patina and a opportunity for something new. My job, as a artist, is to see that opportunity and create.
