Artist Bio: Delaney Spires, a longtime Cortez resident who recently returned from attending university overseas, is a passionate artist specializing in graphite and pet portraits. She runs her own pet portrait business, Aspires Art, where she captures the unique personality of each animal with careful attention to detail and a deep appreciation for the bond between pets and their people.
