Escalante Canyon Arts Festival 2015

I love to attend this festival! It's such a welcoming community in Escalante Utah and the scenery is spectacular. This year the weather was wonderful and we reconnected with old friends and made new ones.

This the painting I entered in the competition.
"Escalante Arch" 8 x 10, pastel.
It sold at the silent auction.

Painting at Spencer Flats, an area between Escalante and Boulder Utah.

Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site Artist in Residence 2015

Guest Hogan

Chuska

This year I was honored to have been chosen as Artist in Residence a Hubbell Trading Post. I was there for 2 weeks living in the guest hogan. I was able to explore the Navajo Nation and paint some of the beautiful areas there. I taught a "drawing a petroglyph" class to a group of Navajo children that were attending a summer camp at the site. It was an amazing experience.
