'Push and Pull' & 'The Impermanence of Memory'

Join us for a lovely night of art and community! Refreshments will be provided, art to be adored. After December 5, these shows will be open until December 27 during our business hours or by appointment.

Artist statements:

“I am a Pueblo, Colorado–based artist and full-time graphic designer whose work bridges bold visual storytelling with the textures of lived experience. Much of my art is created on recycled skateboards, giving new life to objects that carry their own history of movement, impact, and resilience. These repurposed canvases become part of the narrative—each scrape and layer adding character before I ever begin to paint.
Growing up Catholic and Latina deeply shaped my creative voice. Iconography, cultural symbolism, and the warmth of generational tradition weave throughout my work. My art is both a reflection of where I come from and a reimagining of how those roots continue to evolve. Whether on a skateboard deck or a traditional surface, my goal is to create pieces that feel alive, intentional, and connected—to memory, culture, and the world around us.”

Amanda Santistevan on Push and Pull

“Our memories are strange things: they are fleeting, they can change over time, bits can be lost, and parts can be mis-remembered. Over time, the memories that connect us to the people we were and the people we love degrade and are lost. In losing our memories, we lose a piece of ourselves, severing our connection to what was. Through dreamlike double-exposures, somber landscapes, and fleeting moments of mutual recognition, I have attempted to capture that surreal feeling of misremembered memories and disconnection from a past long-gone.”
