"Aortic Arch" by Serena Supplee

The beauty, truth and freedom of canyons and rivers pulse through Serena Supplee.  40 years of living and loving the Colorado Plateau serve as the current of inspiration for her joyous artwork.  She paints with watercolors and oils, working from her drawings rather than photos, trusting her creative process. Serena’s  book  Grand Canyon Calling  features the drawing next to the painting.

Serena graduated with a BFA from Northern Arizona University before moving to Moab, Utah.  For a decade she worked as a guide on the Colorado, Green, and San Juan Rivers.  She now continues to row her boat & follow her heart down rivers that inspire her drawing and painting.  Her passionate palette captures the expansion of rims, the movement of rivers, the dance of clouds, the splendor of starlight, and the lighting on canyon walls, which have long captivated the minds and souls of many a romantic Westerner.

Serena’s artwork is most recognizable from the hundreds of images she has published since 1983 as notecards, prints, and wall calendars.   A large body of her work may be viewed on her website.  To add an original watercolor, oil or sculpture to your art collection, contact Serena.  Her sandstone-inspired sculptures are on display in her yard, the City of Moab and private collections.
