Instructors:

Randal Roberts is an internationally
recognized self-taught painter. Having
identified as an artist his whole life, at the
age of 30 he was inspired at last to quit the
factory job, embark on a soul-searching road
trip, and dedicate himself to art full time.
Statement: "I pledge to do my best work for
the highest good, and to practice my art as a
way of awakening myself and others."

Wanderweird (Chops) has been making
artwork for the last twenty years, mostly
based on literature and mythologies from his
childhood, including retro video games from
the late 80's and early 90's. He also writes
and illustrates comic books in this same vein,
exploring historical concepts and occult
practices within the creative frameworks of a
personal worldview, even creating a room at
the interactive art gallery Meow Wolf Denver.

Kelsey Huckaby moved to the Denver area
from south of Austin in 2021 to broaden her
artistic horizons. She\'s been involved in the
Visionary Art scene since 2013, live painting
at shows and festivals, painting murals,
producing a clothing line, and also facilitating
multiple organizational roles through the arts.
Her artistic practice has always been
interwoven with a path of initiating, and
curating arts events, showcases, venues,
and even teaching art classes for both adults
and children.
