Featured Artist - Ava Schuster

Multimedia

I am an artist and educator based in Denver, Colorado whose practice is rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and community connection. Alongside teaching high school art and instructing at the Art Students League of Denver, I maintain a multidisciplinary studio practice that moves fluidly between watercolor, acrylic, collage, and cyanotype. My work is driven by a love of process and discovery embracing layering, texture, and unexpected combinations of materials.

My studio exists wherever my community needs creative connection most. Rather than working from a single fixed location, I bring my art into schools, summer camps, libraries, and correctional facilities, transforming shared spaces into temporary studios for learning, expression, and collaboration. My work centers on the belief that art belongs to everyone. Each space shapes the work differently, allowing creativity to become a tool for storytelling, healing, education, and human connection.

My work explores memory, identity, and connection through vibrant color, layered imagery, and experimental processes. Working across watercolor, acrylic, collage, and cyanotype, I create playful, emotionally rich pieces inspired by nature, storytelling, and place.
