45° will be featuring oil paintings by Emily Fair. Emily explores eye catching color combinations and luscious textures with a palette knife. With the iconic aspen tree as her subject, Emily takes something familiar and draws you in with an unexpected patchwork of color.  Watch Emily Fair paint from 5 to 8pm.  A new collection of paintings will also be available.
