If you’re an artist looking for natural inspiration, Colorado is a great place to be. And if you’re looking for a place to sell those creations, Etsy is a great place to start. Thankfully, our local Colorado artists are well aware of this and have built Etsy shops which offer one-of-a-kind digital posters, watercolor arts, impressive woodwork, photographs and more.
We rounded up a few of our favorites based in Fort Collins, Loveland and Denver so you can fill your home with Colorado-inspired art and show everyone just how much you love where you live.

Now, his art is inspired by the scenery and wildlife that we’re surrounded by every day right here in Fort Collins. The metal art wall hangings include designs inspired by aspen trees, fly fishing, animals and actual mountain ranges located around the state.

Lexicon Delight opened in 2014 after Sarah Nelson made a Colorado-themed poster for her son’s hockey fundraiser and found a new passion for one-of-a-kind art. Now, her shop features creative and colorful wall art for the holidays, sports, hobbies, family and even specific locations across the country. We especially love her State Heart collection which, of course, includes Colorado.
