KiriLeigh Jones, a California transplant, is known for her intricate mandalas); sometimes they stand alone, and other times the detailing fills in letters, animals, or wings. @kirileigh7
Growing up in Globeville, Anthony Garcia Sr. put up unsanctioned graffiti, but today he works to get kids involved in community-building forms of street art through his nonprofit, BirdSeed Collective. His colorful, serape-inspired work brightens everything from dumpsters in Sun Valley to the redesigned intersection of Sixth Avenue and Federal Boulevard. @birdseedanthony
A graffiti writer who got his start in Denver in the ’90s, Tuke turned to art to get through nearly 10 years in prison for drug-dealing offenses. After his release in 2016, he reconnected with the DF Crew—one of a handful of long-standing “crews,” or groups of artists who work together, in the Mile High City—and began landing commissions. He often collaborates with Emit; look for their relatively readable four-letter signatures. @tukeone, @emit_df
The founders of Like Minded Productions, Michael Ortiz and Jonathan Lamb (who also works with his wife, Lindz), began painting murals—often, colorful geometric patterns on black backgrounds—in Denver more than a decade ago. @illson, @lindzandlamb
Members of the Ladies Fancywork Society have been yarn-bombing fences, public artwork, and trees around the city since 2007. As part of last year’s fest, they installed a creature called Tina atop the Matchbox. @ladiesfancyworksociety
Meeg Conroy paints whimsical, stylized animals—most often, her signature fox—under the moniker Miss Meeg. For 2018’s CRUSH Walls, she rendered six Denver artists as critters then put QR codes on walls nearby that led viewers to recorded interviews with the subjects. @miss.meeg
Jason T. Graves, Remington Robinson, and So-Gnar Creative Division—an artist collaborative spearheaded by Pat Milbery and Pat McKinney—are responsible for the Instagram favorite “Love This City” series of murals. Vibrant hues and animals often mark So Gnar’s work, which can be found on walls, wine bottles, and even the school bus they use to tote supplies. @jastontgraves, @remingtonrobinson, @so_gnarcreativedivision
