Graffiti artists

The Frontier Drive-Inn is a Colorado thing—the plains, the sky, the silence, the stars. So we invited local Colorado artists, (and one from Miami) to paint our Nomadicana Airstream trailers, each one interpreting what the San Luis Valley means to them.

Anthony Garcia Sr.

A Denver-based muralist and visual artist known for vibrant geometric abstractions, large-scale public art, and community-driven projects rooted in the Globeville neighborhood. His work blends bold color gradients, gem-like forms, and Southwestern textile influences. As founder of Birdseed Collective, Garcia uses art as a tool for community engagement, youth mentorship, and neighborhood revitalization.

Jonathan Lamb

Born in Atlanta and raised in Cincinnati, Jon studied fine art at Fort Lewis College in Durango and moved to Denver in 2004. He set up shop in 2008 in the RiNo Art District, orchestrating live painting shows, making prints with Like Minded Productions, and painting and exhibiting throughout the U.S., Caribbean and Europe. His eye for talent led him to curation projects including CRUSH Walls, Snowball Music Festival, and Dairy Block.

Will Barker

A muralist and fine art painter based in Denver whose work draws from the history, folklore, and visual culture of the American West. Originally from Philadelphia, Will played collegiate football at the University of Virginia before going on to the NFL with the Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He transitioned fully into the visual arts and now works from his Globeville studio, creating paintings that explore Western iconography—cowboys, outlaws, open landscapes, and frontier symbolism—through a contemporary lens.

Sandra Fettingis

A Chicago-born, Denver-based public artist creating site-specific murals and sculptural installations inspired by plant life and architecture. Blending geometric abstraction with organic forms, her work brings rhythm and harmony to shared spaces. Since 2007, she has completed over 100 projects nationwide, including major installations for RTD, Denizen Denver, and CSU Spur.

Douglas Hoekzema

Airstream Trailer Douglas Hoekzema, known as HOXXOH, is a Miami-based artist and painter whose work redefines the boundaries of creativity and philosophy. Born and raised in Miami’s vibrant street art scene, he began with graffiti but soon sought to transcend traditional forms by developing a unique artistic language. Inspired by the natural world and concepts of time, order, and chaos, Hoxxoh creates mesmerizing, kaleidoscopic works that explore the harmony of contingency and the beauty of controlled chaos. His art transforms surfaces into dynamic portals of discovery, blending vibrant colors and fluid patterns to reflect the cycles and rhythms of life.

Max Kauffman

An artist and curator based in Colorado with a BFA in Ceramics from Arizona State University. He has exhibited nationally at the Arvada Center for the Arts, Gildar Gallery in Denver, and the Lesher Center for the Arts, and has painted murals across North America including Oakland, Los Angeles, Mexico City, New York, Chicago, and Denver. His curatorial project, Neü Folk, highlights handmade, traditional,
and folk art practices.

Brandon Opalka

Brandon Opalka paints by day, he paints by night. He paints on walls, canvas, installations, invariably creating something new. It’s the color that interests him, whether posed by a brush or a spray can, applied with an air compressor or in coats of hot wax. Objects are soaked in it, covered, dematerialized, producing a novel interpretation. He talks about what he knows, what surrounds him. He draws the raw material for his art from daily life, without neglecting current events.
