 Paul Heath's Studio by Steve Coray
Paul Heath's studio is in his home. No, Heath's home IS his studio. He does much of his painting on the floor of his living room. That room also hosts racks and racks of paint tubes, brushes, reference materials and other art materials. Artwork adorns the walls, sits on tables, and is tucked into cluttered stacks in every room. In his kitchen, instead of a dining table, there is a table saw for his cutout shapes, with various works-in-progress scattered around it on the floor. He has turned his sun room into his pottery workshop. Paul Heath is truly immersed in his art.

Feature: On the Spot
 Doug Braithwaite
 |
| Doug Braithwaite is known around the state for his plein-air landscape paintings, which have won numerous awards (see page 6). Brandon Cook reviewed the artist's recent exhibition at the Eccles Community Art Center in Ogden for our June edition. |
 What hangs above your mantel?
I have a 1986 etching called "Chripalis : Sundance" by B. Haddock above my mantel.
What is your favorite building in Utah?
My favorite building in Utah is a little cabin in Teasdale that Cathy Bagley of Torrey Gallery lets me stay in once in a while on painting trips.
What is the most memorable exhibit you've seen recently?
I just saw an exhibit at the Laguna Art Museum that featured paintings by Colin Campbell Cooper. There were lots of paintings that he did from all over the world. I knew some of the work from books but came away from the show feeling like I had just met the artist.

Artists of Utah tour of the Zions Bank Collection
Because our recent Spring Fundraiser was our most successful to date, we would like to thank all of our contributors (financial and editorial) by inviting them to join us for a special tour of the Zions Bank art collection located in their downtown headquarters on the corner of South Temple and Main. All contributors, from 2007 and past years, including writers and photographers, are welcome to join us Wednesday July 18th for this special event.
We will be meeting in the 10th floor lobby at 12:30pm. Tom Alder, Vice President of Zions Private Mortgage Banking, a recent MA graduate of the University of Utah's Art History program and the author of a regular 15 Bytes feature, Alder's Accounts, will provide a guided tour of the Bank's collection, spread throughout the building. Light refreshments and entertaining anecdotes will be provided. Following the tour of the Bank's collection members of the tour are invited to join Alder and other 15 Bytes staff members as they take a tour of the Deseret News Color of the Land exhibit at the Museum of Utah Art and History. The MUAH is located around the corner from Zions Bank.
Please RSVP at webmaster@artistsofutah.org if you plan to attend.
August Edition
We will publish a very limited August edition on Wednesday August 1st. The edition will include our regular exhibition listings but will not contain features or articles. |
