“Hidden in the back of this gallery is the option to paint your own pottery. This is a great rainy day activity for your kids. My children have painted several items at the Maverick Potter. Most recently, my oldest son chose a large elaborate coy fish to paint. They were very helpful and patient while my son selected and mixed his paint colors, and spent a ton of time painting the individual scales of the fish. Great relaxing activity, good for the whole family. Highly recommend.”

“Joshua Been’s gallery is a rare and deeply satisfying experience for the serious collector. His work occupies a thoughtful space in the lineage of great Western landscape painters—echoing the grandeur of Bierstadt and the atmospheric command of Moran—yet it never feels derivative. There is a contemporary restraint and intelligence in his compositions that distinguishes his voice as wholly his own.
What immediately stands out is his command of light and distance. The landscapes breathe; they possess both scale and silence. One senses not merely a depiction of the American West, but an interpretation shaped by patience, reverence, and lived experience.
The gallery itself is beautifully curated, that allows each piece to stand on its own without distraction. Josh’s presence in the gallery adds another layer: he is thoughtful, grounded, and deeply knowledgeable about each piece. He speaks as a steward of the landscape rather than a commentator, which only deepens the authenticity of the work.
For collectors who value substance, lineage, and quiet power, Josh Been’s work belongs in serious consideration. His painting has deep integrity—rooted in tradition, yet unmistakably alive in the present.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I walk by this art gallery/studio often, but have not been brave enough to go in. Katie’s work is absolutely stunning. I’m sure I can’t afford it, but maybe a little one? Best window shopping stop in town.”
“This gallery is delightful and the owner/artist Steph was very friendly and kind. We enjoyed speaking with her and she showed us how the glass changes color with the light. The beads, Stained glass art, and paintings in this shop are beautiful. Hoping to stop by here again soon! I loved so many of their pieces.”
“The gallery is as eclectic as his pieces. Everything from rich colorful chunky textural landscapes to the most delicate gossamer portraits. What a weird and wonderful place!”

“By far the best store in Chaffee County, possibly the entire state. It's a whole vibe and I love taking time to check out all the treasures and local art. Not to mention, there's always a sweet pooch or two to love on.”
