Lakewood, CO
A Lakewood artist-run shop where bones, insects, plants, vinyl, vintage finds, crystals, jewelry, antiques, local art, and handmade nature pieces collide.
Rocky Mountain Punk Nature Art & Oddities combines an artist collective and handmade nature-art studio with a plant shop, record bin, vintage store, crystal-and-jewelry counter, antique shelf, and oddities cabinet.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Plant shop, vinyl store, vintage boutique, art gallery, jewelry counter, crystal shop, antique store, nature-art studio, and bone-and-insect oddities cabinet.
Its punk identity comes less from one theme than from collapsing living plants, dead natural material, music, vintage goods, and handmade art into one independent store.
Rocky Mountain Punk Nature Art & Oddities grew from Emily and Joe Salazar's nature-based art into a brick-and-mortar Lakewood shop and artist community. Handmade pieces built from natural material sit beside bones, insects, plants, records, vintage goods, crystals, jewelry, antiques, home décor, and work from other local makers. Markets and events further blur the line between gallery, store, studio, record shop, and oddities collection.
