Maker of the Month: Cordell Crosby
Each month the Art Spot Silverthorne Makerspace is highlighting a Maker of the Month to showcase the talented artists and creators in our community.
Cordell Crosby was hooked on art the frist time he held a crayon. When he had the opportunity to view the Sistine Chapel, it turned him into a muralist.
Cordell enjoys creating at the Art Spot because of it's pleasant, quite vibe; educational environment; and the views of Silverthorne's downtown and the nearby mountains. In his work he has learned to search for what has been hidden and his future artistic goals include revealing what he has found in his many years of notes and work.
