Paul Folwell Studio
Durango · Durango, Colorado
The Paul Folwell Studio in Durango offers collectors direct access to one of the Four Corners region's most distinctive landscape painters, specializing in oil paintings of the San Juan Mountains, ski culture, musicians, and dancers rendered with expressive brushwork and a keen sense of color. Folwell's studio setting — where visitors can see works in progress alongside finished paintings — provides an unusually intimate window into the creative process, and the artist's willingness to discuss commissions makes a studio visit feel genuinely collaborative. Few experiences in the Southwest art world are as direct or as satisfying as purchasing a painting directly from the artist in his working studio.
