Visual Art – Denver

Will Barker was formerly an offensive lineman in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins before retiring to pursue his love for creating art. Will is a self taught painter with an emphasis in oils and watercolors. He lives and works in Denver, CO Will\'s current work follows a cartoonish, but personable chimp and his sidekick, who is an elephant, as they interact with the surrounding area of Denver, Colorado, often times in humorous or misguided ways. The idea behind this theme was to portray the culture and diversity of Denver, a colorful city in the shadow of the Rocky Mountain range, in a unique and fun way.
