 Paintings inspired by the colors, textures and spirit of the Great Salt Lake
The desert is a timid lover. It reveals itself slowly. Its barren surface is a facade meant to keep the impatient from staying here long. It's as though the landscape has been stripped of every overindulgence and distilled to its essential, grandiose spirit. Curiously, there is something about the austerity of the desert that makes me feel like: "I have arrived. I am home." I am mesmerized, addicted and seduced.  For a person who's experienced so much geographical movement & upheaval, I welcome the sentiment that the ethereal, other-worldly landscape of the Great Salt Lake imparts to my soul: "I have arrived. I am home."

Re-Election Campaign May 31st Senator Derek Kitchen I am starstruck! Look who just dropped by the studio: Utah State Senator Derek Kitchen! Throughout our meeting, my grin was so huge I could barely contain my cool. This man is a LEGEND. In 2014 Kitchen and his partner sued the state of Utah for marriage equality. This case legalized same sex marriage in Utah and five oher states in the western U.S., establisjhing a graoundbreaking case law that led to nationwide marriage equality in 2015. I am honored to be in alignment with other humans who contribute to the health, vitality and betterment of our community.  BDAC 47th Annual Statewide Competition
