Thereâs nothing more meaningful to me than hearing how my work connects with people. Iâm deeply grateful for these words from one of my collectors, Denny Thompson about âGarden of the Gods.â @creativetopher
âGarden of the Gods. The colors are bold and vibrant, much like the artist who layers his love of life into every work of art. And in the reflection you can see off the shiny bright surface, you, too, are a part of the art. This is a must see experience for anyone who has witnessed the magic of our great outdoors.â
âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ âď¸
Thank you, Denny, for truly seeing the spirit behind the work. My goal has always been to capture not just the beauty of nature, but the feeling of being immersed in it â connected to it. Knowing that others experience that same magic means everything.
If youâve experienced my art, Iâd love to hear what it made you feel. đ¨â¨
With Love,
Tâ¤ď¸PHER

Intersect Aspen 2026 is pushing past last yearâs peak đď¸
Featured in The Aspen Times, this yearâs fair was highlighted for its ambitious direction ahead of Aspen Art Week â following a record-breaking 2025 edition that saw attendance increase by 25%.
The upcoming edition of Intersect Aspen will continue expanding its focus on large-scale installations, curated presentations, and conversations that connect contemporary art with technology, environmental consciousness, photography, and the Aspen community itself.
From Whit Boucherâs nature-driven compositions and Kinga Czerskaâs paintings to John Doyleâs wood sculptures and Topher Strausâs large-scale digital landscape works, the 2026 edition continues to reflect the depth of our local artistic integrity.
âWe see Aspen as a place where art is part of the fabric of the community,â said Intersect CEO Tim von Gal.

An unforgettable evening with the Colorado Symphony alongside the incredible Jon Batiste, the musicians of the Symphony, and resident conductor Christopher Dragon. Such an honor to have my artwork featured across an 80-foot screen as the visual backdrop for the entire gala. Even more meaningful to have sold three paintings đ´đ´đ´ in support of this amazing organization and the arts community we all love so deeply. Grateful beyond words. â¨đśđ¨

Honored to have my work featured at this yearâs Colorado Symphony Gala in support of an organization that has inspired me my entire life. Iâve been attending the symphony with my mother since I was a young boy, and music has always shaped my work â from classical and jazz to blues and the incredible Jon Batiste, tonightâs featured performer.
Grateful for all the Colorado Symphony does to bring culture, education, and world-class music to our community. đťâ¨

N E W @creativetopher ⢠North Cascades National Park
North Cascades feels like a secret the mountains are keeping-layered in cool blues and endless depth. I wanted this piece to exude that quiet, untouched beauty you only find when you go far enough to hear your own thoughts again.
This painting of North Cascades National Park captures the serene isolation and layered grandeur of one of Americaâs most remote landscapes. Flowing bands of blues and greens guide the eye through rolling ridgelines toward a tranquil alpine lake, evoking both stillness and movement. Inspired by the parkâs rugged beauty and quiet presence, the piece reflects a cinematic perspective-inviting the viewer into a moment of calm, depth, and natural wonder.
Iâd love to know if youâve been there & what you think? đźď¸

Some places reset you.
Travel expands my palette and feeds something deeper. Right now in Turks and Caicos, surrounded by unreal blues, soft sand, and total stillnessâideas just start to surface.
This is why I go. Not to escape, but to reconnect.
