Sandi Snead

I wish to share the humor, charm and everyday antics that I am blessed to witness so often. Through their daily rituals, social hierarchies and quiet resilience these birds have offered me profound lessons in mindfulness, community and the beauty of simple living. They have also taught me a deep grounding wisdom that comes from slowing down and listening to the flock. They each have a voice and spirit of their own. This show features playful portraits, group interactions and snapshots of moments that highlight their individual character.

Artist bio:

Sandi Snead is a painter and multidisciplinary artist based in Moab, Utah and is known for her expressive and dramatic landscape paintings. She has been involved with the local art scene for over 25 years and was the founder of PleinAir Moab (which later morphed into the Red Rock Arts Festival), and is also one of the founding members of Gallery Moab. Snead is somewhat new to chicken ownership and never thought she’d become such a chicken person, but says, “Here I am, completely obsessed with my little flock.”
