Paul Kauvar Smith
Paul Kauvar Smith, born in Cape Girardeau, studied commercial art and design at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts from 1915–16 with a brief interruption during World War I. After the war, he returned to the School of Fine Arts and went on to study at the Washington University in St. Louis. In 1921, Smith moved to Colorado to study under John E. Thompson at the Denver Academy of Fine and Applied Arts. Thompson, who is considered to be the pioneer of modernism in Denver, was a strong influence on Smith. In 1923, Smith was hired by the Academy as an instructor. That same year, his work was accepted for the first time for display at the Denver Art Museum and he was also awarded two solo exhibitions. The museum later added his work to their Anne Evans collection. In 1959, the Denver Art Museum also reproduced one of his paintings titled Houses at Victor for their Western Heritage exhibition catalog. Smith became a permanent resident of Denver and was a member of the American Artists Professional League, as well as Colorado and Denver Art Guilds. He also joined a Denver group called The Colorado Fifteen. Fifteen came into existence in 1948 as an association of professional artists dedicated to the avant-garde. Smith died in Denver in 1977.

Betsy Podlach is an American painter who considers the Italian Venetians and the american abstract expressionist painters her mentors. The two painters she is most inspired by are Titian and Jackson Pollock, Both use the picture plane and abstraction and space, light, movement and form to communicate a physicality built entirely on the principals of painting, in the “classical” sense of a flat plane and lines, color, shape, space and light applied to that flat surface to create magic – light, space, form, emotion, force, movement, the physical and the spiritual.
