Journey Home
LUCIUS WELCH
Manitou Galleries
Lucius is an oil painter whose work is rooted in a profound connection to the
natural world. Raised with a quiet curiosity for the outdoors, his artistic journey
deepened after relocating to the Colorado mountains, where solitude and
exploration became central to his creative process. Accompanied by his dog, Miko,
Lucius found inspiration in the stillness of remote landscapes—moments that
shaped both his life and art.
Driven by a desire to express the sacred and ineffable, Lucius creates paintings that
go beyond representation. His work emphasizes color harmony and visual
storytelling, inviting viewers to slow down, feel deeply, and rediscover a sense of
belonging to something greater. Rather than simply depicting nature, his paintings
evoke it—serving as gentle reminders of our shared connection to the earth and the
meaning that lies quietly within it.
