Jace Romick’s artistry captures the spirit of Steamboat Springs and beyond. From his roots on a local ranch to competing on the US Ski Team in World Cup downhill events, Jace’s extraordinary life experiences shape every photograph he creates. His passion for horses and the rodeo, paired with a lifetime of exploring the outdoors, results in evocative images that tell rich, compelling stories.

What sets Jace apart is his mastery of custom frame design. Using reclaimed wood, distressed metal, and hand-forged hardware, he transforms each piece into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that blends artistry and craftsmanship.

Currently, Jace’s work is featured in Steamboat Art Museum’s "Art in Sport" gallery—a celebration of the intersection of art and athleticism. You can also explore more of his breathtaking photography at the Jace Romick Gallery, located at 833 Lincoln Ave, Steamboat Springs, CO.

What would Susan want? That was the question on local artists’ minds as they searched for a way to honor the memory and legacy of Susan Sc*****er, a fellow Steamboat Springs-based artist who died in 2020. The answer lies in the newest piece of public art, titled “Walks on Water,” located outside the Bud Werner Memorial Library. Created by local sculptor Sandy Graves Art, the piece was inspired by one of Susan’s paintings of a similar name, “She Walks on Water.”
