November art Walk
Saturday, Nov 11, 2023
Featured Artist - Louise Seiler
Sometimes we get that “second chance” in life. I’m pleased to again be invited to show my new paintings after the 2020 Covid outbreak. This time I look especially forward to the artist’s reception/gallery stroll and visiting with friends I could not three years ago. My whimsical style shows a portraiture study of pre-Columbian figures and their totem spirit-guide creatures.
Samantha Zim, an illustrator and painter based in Moab, is Gallery Moab's November Guest Artist. Her work takes an impressionistic approach to the vivid landscapes of Southwest Utah. Samantha studied medical illustration at the Cleveland institute of Art which informs her detailed approach to natural subjects. She primarily uses watercolor and graphite and works both plein air and in the studio from her own source photography. Samantha was the 2020 Artist in the Park for the Southeast Utah Group of National Parks.
The Tom Till Gallery has been a proud staple of downtown Moab for 25 years so it is bittersweet for us to announce that we will be permanently closing our doors at the end of this season. Tom would like to thank everyone for their support during his 50-year career as an International Fine Art Photographer!
As a thank you for attending Art Walk during October and November you will receive a free gift! Come celebrate Tom’s retirement with us.

Terry Knouff
“Instant Moab” is a retrospective of instant photography work by Moab resident Terry Knouff, featuring paper enlargements of Polaroid instant film photography from Moab and surrounding areas. Many of the original photos for this show where taken in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The original images where taken using a Polaroid SX-70 camera, and now unavailable Polaroid TimeZero Supercolor instant film . TimeZero’s film emulsion had the unique ability to be manipulated after the instant image appeared. Most of the images in the show where produced using this “in film” manipulation technique. Much of the subject matter of the show has disappeared from Moab, and the nature of the
show’s use of transient materials, such as plotter printer stock as opposed to more stable silver gelatin prints, highlights the ephemeral nature of the human built environment, and the instant gratification of modern photographic processes and platforms.
The November ArtWalk will also feature live music by Veronica Verdin
Originally from sunny Los Angeles, Veronica Verdin now resides and writes songs under the sandstone.
“Songwriting has always been a part of my life,” she says. “It’s something I’ll always do, no matter what.” After dabbling in bands through college, busking on the streets of Spain, and frequenting the music scenes in Flagstaff and Jackson Hole, Verdin now finds her footing as a solo artist in the southwest.
She crafts complex stories under the guise of simple melodies—resulting in songs as relatable as they are surprising. Taking inspiration from the indie rock, folk, and country artists she grew up listening to (Waxahatchee, Neil Young, Julia Jacklin, Best Coast, and Dr. Dog, to name a few), she creates sounds that are nostalgic, somber, sunny, and triumphant all at once.
October Art Walk
Saturday, October 14, 2023
The Moab Information Center will be joining the October Art Walk as a bonus location!
Jess is a part-time artist living full-time in Moab. For the past few years, she’s been working on developing cheap, accessible methods for at-home printmaking with DIY art supplies and tools made from reclaimed and recycled materials. She's currently exploring the local landscape through plein air and intaglio printmaking with the Community Artist in Parks program. Jess will be demonstrating the use of her printmaking press and process by making prints during the October ArtWalk.

Featured Artist: Josie Moe
Hi, I’m Josie! I’ve been living in Moab for over four years and during that entire time one of my strongest passions has been trying to capture the immense beauty and sometimes surreal nature of this landscape through my photography. These photos are a collection of my film and digital work from all over the southwest. It’s a mix of giant lonely landscapes and busy close up botanicals. To me it shows that on the surface, the desert may seem vast and empty but upon closer inspection one finds it teeming with life that has adapted in unique and fascinating ways. I hope my photos inspire the viewer to pause a second longer to ponder these interconnected elements that help make the southwest so magical.
Guest Artist for the month of October is Barbara Churchley, a western Colorado resident whose impressionistic pastels and oil paintings take the viewer on a colorful journey into the alpine, pastoral, and plateau landscapes where she hikes, skis, and runs. Janet Buckingham, our member Featured Artist, expresses herself through a variety of mediums including watercolor and ink paintings, pastels, and her popular quilted bags and hangings. Arches National Park has been a favorite subject since she was Artist in the Park in 2018. Join us to celebrate the work of these creative women.

During the month of October there will be a plein air group show displayed in the Foyer Gallery at the MARC. Plein air painting is a style of painting that is defined as painting outside on location and in the moment. Artists leave the comforts of the 4 walls of their studios and embrace the elements while taking on the challenges of changing weather and light. One has to work quickly and confidently to capture the essence of the scene.
Moab plein air painters is a group of local artists who cherish those challenges. We submerge ourselves in the beauty that surrounds us here while taking our art to another level.
We are thrilled to share our work with you. Enjoy the show!
