Hope Blakely is an artist, instructor, and curator with a deep appreciation for storytelling through paint. Her work blends realism with atmosphere, capturing the quiet power of landscapes, wildlife, and moments of everyday beauty that invite the viewer to slow down and look closer.
Based in Colorado, Hope’s studio is both a place of creation and a space for connection—where collectors, students, and fellow artists can engage with the process behind the canvas. Her own paintings reflect years of study rooted in traditional technique, evolving through experience into a more personal and intentional approach to composition, color, and depth.
In addition to her work as a painter, Hope curates the Blakely Art Collection, an online gallery showcasing original artwork by artists she has studied with and connected to through workshops and shared creative paths. Each piece is selected not only for technical skill, but for the story, craftsmanship, and authenticity it represents.
Hope’s experience as an instructor and class organizer has helped foster a growing creative community, bridging the worlds of teaching, collecting, and making art. Whether guiding beginners, supporting fellow artists, or finishing a painting through hours of layered glazing, her work is grounded in precision, tradition, and heart—always with the intention of creating art that feels lasting, meaningful, and human.
