Welcome to 23 Trees Studio

Hello, I’m Meredith Thompson, the artist and creator of 23 Tree Studio, nestled within The Emporium in Castle Rock, CO. I created this space because I believe anyone can paint—my mission is to make art accessible, inspiring, and joyful for all. 

Discover dreamy original artwork inspired by Colorado’s stunning scenery and colors. Using 23K gold leaf, hand-dyed wools, and raw canvas, I infuse each impressionist piece with a soothing vibe that reminds you of home. Alongside my creations, explore curated fine art prints on canvas from regional artists, all united by a harmonious palette, plus unique gifts for artists and art lovers. 

We’re a welcoming space for beginners, pros, and young creators, offering a wide range of watercolor supplies—from specially curated paint palettes and brush sets to fine art tools. Our selection includes 23 Tree Studio beginner art supplies, intermediate handmade paints by Viviva and Professional Beam Handmade Watercolors, and Emily Lex watercolor workbooks to guide your journey. (Beam Paints are 100% Anishnaabe Kwe-owned and crafted on M’Chigeeng First Nation, blending lightfast pigments, gum arabic, and Manitoulin maple sap into vibrant, handmade pans packaged in sustainable cedar and birch.) 

Whether you’re taking your first stroke or refining your craft, my goal is to leave you uplifted and inspired. With the right tools and encouragement, anyone can create beauty. 

Thank you for supporting local artists and shopping small!
