The Gallery at Wolf Creek Resort (3900 Wolf Creek Drive, Eden Utah 84310) UPCOMING: Hadley Ramton One Woman Show presented by Wilkerson Fine Art & Consulting, artist reception Saturday, March 15th from 7 – 9 pm. At a time when multi-tasking is the order of the day and sensory overload is the norm, it is easy to lose touch with the beauty of this world, in all its variety. Hadley Rampton, a Utah native, purposely slows her life down in order to absorb and enjoy the surroundings that inspire her. Rampton prefers to create en plein air. The natural Utah landscape leaps to her canvas as she creates amidst the elements that surround her. In describing her experience creating, Hadley Rampton paints a picture with words: “To stand, nestled in a valley kept company by groves of aspen, my mood no longer remains my own but that of the place. You might say my work is a release of my senses rather than solely a depiction of a scene. The energy with which I paint, my color palette, even the technique I use to apply the paint, (broad, broken strokes with a brush or palette knife, spot glazing with drips of transparent paint), is directly related to my emotional response rather than the result of a pre-calculated process.” The show will continue to be on display and available for viewing daily from 9 a.m. – 7 pm through April 2. For a private showing please contact Kris Wilkerson at (801) 745-9557. www.wilkersonfineart.com

Julie Nester Gallery UP: Grounded in Silence an exhibition of new paintings by Santa Fe artist, Rob Douglas, March 7 - April 2. There will be a reception for the artist on March 7, 5:30-8:00 pm. Rob Douglas' abstract paintings are a balance between non-representation and reality. His expressive, geometric forms, pencil marks and scratches are juxtaposed against subtle layers of earthen-toned washes. When combined, these elements create a majestic pictorial equilibrium. Expansive rhythms of rich textures and hues are inspired by the New Mexico desert and are combined with forms that evoke a more urban environment. "While creating, I am reminded of the birds-eye view of a piece of ground, or a landscape," the artist says. "While I am focused on a particular organic object that has caught my attention. I am aware it is completely surrounded in the infinite details that make up the entire picture – the tiny rocks, flecks of minerals, botanical matter, and even the space between these objects. It is in this interaction of these spatial planes and various elements that may create a sense of place. It is my hope that the inspired imagery will evoke an emotional response to a place we have never seen, but yet we know somehow and find familiar.”
Coda Gallery UP: Figure paintings by Melissa Peck (see page 2). Reception Friday, March 7, 6 to 9pm.
