The Magic Behind Maxfield's Mountain Vision

Maxfield's mural transports viewers into a magical mountain night scene, featuring a majestic elk standing proudly against snow-dusted peaks under a star-filled sky. The artwork beautifully represents the wildlife that roams our backcountry and the rugged landscape that defines our mountain home.

His use of earthy tones and dramatic lighting creates an atmosphere that's both powerful and serene. The way he captured the elk's noble stance against the mountain backdrop shows remarkable artistic skill and deep connection to our local wildlife.

Rising Above Strong Competition

The competition brought together 15 artistic students from Crested Butte High School's art program, each tasked with creating designs that reflect our community's character and natural environment.

Why Maxfield's Design Won Our Hearts

Maxfield's mountain and elk theme resonated perfectly with the spirit of Elk Mountain Storage, making it a natural choice for our facility. The nighttime setting adds drama and mystery, while the elk represents the majestic wildlife that makes our valley so special.

The snowy mountain peaks in his design mirror the actual views surrounding our storage facility, creating a perfect harmony between art and location.
