 Connie Borup's Studio by Laurie Warner
.
Later this month, Phillips Gallery will host an exhibition of new works by Salt Lake City artist Connie Borup. Borup, who is known for her strong sense of design and a warm, earthy palette, creates her works from her SugarHouse studio. While most of the buildings on the block have been boarded up in anticipation of their demolition, the Rockwood Artist Studios still stands and is home to over thirty local artists. In addition to her painting space, Borup's studio also has a press, and future exhibitions promise to display her unique artistic sensibility revealed in printmaking mediums. |

Feature: On the Spot
 What hangs above your mantel?
 A large abstract of mine; I hung it there as I was moving in (the only spot on the wall with a nail). Lee Deffebach saw it hanging soon after and told me I should never move it. I haven't; that was 7 years ago.
What is your favorite building in Utah?
The new downtown library; that might change with the new Frank Gehery project in Utah County.
What is the most memorable exhibit you've seen recently?
The Brian Kershisnik Exhibit at the 'U'.
