Late Arrival and Worth Waiting For New William Acheff at Saks Galleries Cherry Creek Denver

Oldest Fine Art Galleries in Colorado


William Acheff "Tunes" 8 x 6 Oil


In 1973, Acheff moved to Taos, New Mexico, to separate himself from the influences of his teacher. It was in Taos that Acheff found his niche. Acheff, who is of Alaskan Athabascan heritage, has a special affinity for the historical and cultural artifacts that he chooses to paint. The appealing forms and designs of the Indian pots and artifacts are intertwined with Acheff's preference for painting textures from nature. The vintage photographs that often appear in Acheff's compositions help the artist set a mood. Each article in relation to the others becomes integral to the composition as a whole. The results invite lasting contemplation.


Over 100 nationally known artists are presented at Saks Galleries Cherry Creek during the holidays.  The American Art Invitational is an annual event celebrating the finest art and benefitting in part the Colorado Children's Hospital.  

Enjoy the season, visit Saks Galleries Cherry Creek for Contemporary, Historical Western and European Fine Art, Native American Antiquities, Jewelry, Textiles and Pottery.
