Glimmers are tiny moments of awe that spark joy and evoke an inner calm. Moments that enchant you, open your heart and make you feel alive. Glimmers remind us that we are connected to everyone and everything around us.
In order to experience glimmers we have to consciously seek them. We need to find or create moments to allow them to happen. This can mean moving through the giant evergreens and aspens on a snow filled day, hiking through the trees in the golden light of sunset, looking at art, or creating in the studio.
Lance Whitner’s work is a tangible reflection of her profound relationship with nature. The Rocky Mountains have become her inspiration and her home.
Lance grew up in the intricate colors and patterns of America’s southern countryside where she developed a deep rooted connection to landscape and nature. Her formal education began in Washington DC at the Corcoran College of Art and Design but it was at the University of Colorado, Boulder where she obtained a BFA in ceramics as well as her true sense of place.
Lance eventually carved her way north into the ranges of the Rocky Mountains to Steamboat Springs, Colorado and gave her heart to the Yampa Valley. It has been home to her studio, her gallery and her family for the past 25 years.

The Alley is located between 7th and 8th Streets, in the alley of 729 Lincoln Ave. Lance Whitner’s detailed landscape paintings will hang during the month of December, opening Friday 12/5/25 5-8pm.
