Public Art Commission

Christine is honored to serve as an arts and cultural commissioner for the Town of Parker.  She’s a proud Colorado native with a BA in Interior Design from Colorado State University. Christine’s worked in the field of design, planning, and construction for both commercial and healthcare facilities which includes focus on the built environment in feasibility, development, space planning, and project management. She enjoys the collaboration of ideas and seeing those concepts ‘come to life’ in a project.

She’s been active with various art related institutions and events, including art nonprofits and, in the past, a champion for her daughters in school and local theatre, fine arts, and music. Most recently, she’s a member of the Parker Public Arts Commission.

Christine looks forward to bringing her energy and passion for the arts, to which, she hopes will reflect the rich history and uniqueness of our town, as well as creating opportunities for impactful placemaking and community engagement with the arts.

Cindie Perry brings decades of experience in leadership roles within local government and a lifelong passion for the arts to her role as Vice-Chair of the Parker Public Art Commission. Blending her professional experience in real estate and community & economic development with her experience living within a family of creatives—including a Disney cartoonist and a professional fine artist—Cindie developed a deep appreciation for how art shapes communities.

Since moving to Parker in 2020, she has appreciated the evolution of public art in the town and is dedicated to enhancing public spaces through thoughtful, engaging art installations that spark connection and conversation. Cindie believes public art is essential to placemaking, fostering creativity, and bringing our community together.

When she’s not championing local art, Cindie enjoys exploring Parker’s vibrant culture with her husband, grand-daughter and their two dogs.

Dave Reiter studied graphic design at the Colorado Institute of Art and continued his studies with many professional artists throughout his career. Painting professionally since 2007, Dave predominantly bases his work in the landscape and abstract genres while further exploring how memory and relationships harmonize with the play of color and texture in his creations. Mainly doing commission work and large-scale paintings for individuals and corporate spaces, Dave has participated in prominent exhibitions throughout Colorado and nationally, won numerous awards, and created work for the City of Thornton, CO, UC Health, Grange Hall Food Court, and others.

Mark has always had a deep appreciation for art and has always made a point to visit art museums and art galleries wherever his travels have taken him. His mother was an artist and instilled a great appreciation for different types of art. In fact, family trips would often end up in places that were known for art. After she passed away, he rekindled his own interest in creating art when he was going through her art supplies and sketches from the 1970s and won Juror’s Choice for his piece Diverse Abstract at the Heritage Fine Art Exhibit This is Colorado in 2020.

Mark is actively involved in local artist Tadashi Hayakawa’s monthly workshop at the PACE Center, had a solo exhibit at Parker’s Deep Space earlier this year, and is an active member of the Parker Artist Guild. He is also a managing member of PTK Resources LLC, which consults for ERP systems including deployment, integration, conversions and data analytics.

Hima and her family have moved often and lived in various states across the country, but fell in love with Colorado ever since they moved here in 2014.

She strongly believes in giving back to the community and advocates promoting Arts and Education, seeking every opportunity to give back to the community. She enjoys working closely with the council members, leaders and local organizations. She has used her personal and corporate experience through the years in leading efforts to develop community projects in Arts, Science and Library programs.

As a member of “Making a Difference (MAD) Friends,” a group of Colorado‐based friends committed to philanthropy and social change, she and other members collaborate with non‐profit organizations in Colorado to provide volunteers, practical management training and financial support.
