Frosted Flamingo 

Becca Spiro is the owner and founder of The Frosted Flamingo. Becca grew up in a creative household and she believes that art should be a shared experience, just like a delicious meal or an exciting vacation. Becca founded The Frosted Flamingo to bring joy and empowerment to people through creativity and artistic creation. The Frosted Flamingo provides children and adults with a rare hands-on experience—an opportunity to tap into your inner artist and make something that is uniquely yours.

Becca moved to Summit County to work for Breckenridge Ski Patrol and she loves the outdoors just as much as she loves art. Becca holds a BA in Visual Art and Art History from Bowdoin College and an MA in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute of Art.

Simple Art Studio is inspired by the Davises multicultural family, with work reflecting their inclusive beliefs and culture. 

Melissa Michel

Melissa Michel earned her BFA at the University of Tennessee Martin focusing in ceramics and has been working in clay for over 15 years. She has taught and worked in several ceramic studios across the nation, settling in Summit County. Melissa draws from traditional clay methods to create unique pieces that range from functional vessels to sculptural installations. Her use of sgraffito allows her to transform the clays surface into a language of mark making, pattern and texture to convey an illustrated meditation. She brings inspiration from Ancient Mexican art and North American Indian motifs, creating one of a kind pieces that reflect an occupied mind consumed by line and design.
