Muralist: Dan Toro

Toro graduated from The University of Wyoming with a B.A. in Arts and Science, with an emphasis on oil painting and printmaking. Soon after graduation, Toro became part of the Laramie Mural Project and started painting murals with them. Since then, he has been a part of a The Cheyenne Mural Project, Richmond Mural Festival, and Pabst Blue Ribbon Mural Contest. Throughout these projects, Toro has had the joy of planning and executing many large-scale, colorful murals and even smaller moveable commissioned pieces.

His love for Wyoming and the people around him drives a lot of why Toro enjoys murals, as they become a gift and part of the culture. The Front Range and mountains mean a lot to Toro and he looks to enhance the cities and towns around these regions with color and art. Toro strongly believes that the arts in cities improve the livelihoods of the neighbors and people of these areas.

Muralist: Bobby MaGee Lopez

Lopez has been painting monumental murals for over ten years, and completed a project in 40 West Arts District back in 2015. Recently, Lopez has been experimenting with mandala geometry, optical illusions, and interactive art. He believes it is the essence of art to alter one’s perspective about reality. His objective for the mural in MuralFest 2017 is to combine his unique visual concepts with that of the 40 West vision to create an original and distinct mural. This piece will delight and captivate all who see it, and should become prominent artwork in the state of Colorado. As a muralist, Lopez is interested in imagery, style, and technique. As a trained conceptual artist, Lopez is interested in creating a new experience for the viewer.
