Artist Statement: Living in Canyonlands is to live in the surreal. Dali would merely have been a representational artisthere. Concomitantly, living in Canyonlands is to live in a state of cognitive dissonance, a day trip, as itwere, as one attempts to integrate the discomfort of the sensory overload of the beauty in which one isimmersed. The enormity and variability of the landscape constantly causes one to question what is real.Distance has no meaning and time is imputed by eons in the rocks cascading about your senses. Onlythrough art, can one attempt to capture the state of being in and about Moab. Our galleries are thepetroglyphs etched hard into canyon walls left by former travelers reaching for an understanding forwhich we still reach.
