Aris Aberg
Aris has been creating custom crystal beaded jewelry under the name Surreality Designs since 2021. Each piece is carefully crafted to bring joy and healing through intuitive design and energetic infusion. As this jewelry is created with the unity and oneness of all beings in mind, 10% of all sales will be donated in support of water infrastructure in Laikipia County, Kenya.
Nils Aberg
Hi! My name is Nils. I’m a photographer based out of Durango, Colorado. I started carrying a camera with me on my adventures a handful of years ago in the Evergreen area. This hobby has since enhanced my experiences in the outdoors and pushed me to view the natural world as something worth sharing.
Alexander Barnhart
Explore the work of *Alexander and a Camera*, an 18-year-old Compass Montessori graduate whose photography challenges the boundaries of the medium. His portfolio features striking landscapes from Bhutan, Alaskan wildlife, and imaginative digital collages. Whether capturing a single moment or layering time through portraits, Alexander’s work invites viewers to see the world—and the image—in a wholly new light.
Barro and Bec
My work is grounded in the joy of hand building and the intuitive process of shaping clay. Recently, I’ve been inspired by nature’s quiet collaborators in decay and renewal—mushrooms, snails, and slugs. They’re strange, small, and endlessly fun to create. Each piece celebrates the beauty in the overlooked and the whimsical charm of the natural world.
Dizzy Doodles
Meet Foster Gray, the 11-year-old Evergreen Middle Schooler behind Dizzy Doodles—a spin art button-making booth where creativity becomes wearable art. Half the proceeds support his dream trip to the Galápagos Islands. Born from a screen-free grounding, his “Dizzy Doodler” lets visitors craft colorful spin art, which he turns into unique buttons.

Recently graduated with a degree in fine arts, she is fascinated by animals and has always been drawn to capturing the details of nature in 3D mediums.
