We had the good fortune of connecting with Meredith Steele and Kristen Fogarty and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Meredith Steele and Kristen Fogarty, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Kristen and I were working as individual artists for awhile before we teamed up. We wanted to pursue bigger projects (i. e murals & installations) and working together made it possible and way more fun. Sharing the work load and collaborating throughout the creative process has allowed us to achieve things that would have been a lot harder on our own.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Magik Studios is a place where art meets design. We really enjoy utilizing our fine art & design backgrounds to create murals, installations and custom artwork that fits yet transforms the environment. Whether is it an 60ft tall urban mural, giant floral wedding altar or an 8ft tall mistletoe hanging in downtown Denver, we thrive on creating big impactful pieces. We’re really excited to continue with more installation work in 2024!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Meredith would take her BFF to…. Eat – Senor Bear, El Jefe, Tamaki Den & Sweet Cow for their cinnamon toast crunch ice cream
Drink – Grab a cocktail at The Tatarian or Okay Yeah on Tennyson
Visit/Hang – Camping for a night (or two) at a special spot outside Boulder, Catch some bluegrass, Bike to Golden for a beer & Get a game of Pickleball in

Kristen would take her BFF to…
Eat – Vital Root for lunch, Mister Oso for Dinner
Drink – Block Distillery in Rino
Visit/Hang – Walk in Crown Hill Park, Take them to Mountain Toad in Golden, Catch a show at Bluebird
