Art is the expression of creativity or imagination, or both. Art appeals to human motions. It can arouse aesthetic or moral feelings. Art explores and redefines that which is mundane. It pushes forward the boundaries of collective human ability. Art transcends cultural, historical and geographical confines.

Human impulse to create is undeniable; like breathing it cannot be ignored or suppressed. It is an extension of life.

Each individual piece in the gallery is defined as Fine Art. It is a testimony to an artist’s insight into the world of fascinating imagination. Their pursuit to unlock the inert beauty of materials is what leads to such wonderful creations. An artist once said “I play with nature until it surrenders”.

Sharon and Gary Dahlen, owners of Cherokee's of Manitou, found the perfect location for their gallery in the historic old Joe's Corral building. The building took over a year of hard work in order to recreate also filled with unique aritstic creations, were added in 2001.

When you visit the gallery, don't be surprised to hear a cheery "Hell-o!" "Go Broncos!" or "I love you!" from a feathered friend. Sharon is a dedicated advocate for parrot rescue. Each year she hosts a fundraising benefit for The Gabriel Foundation.
