About the Item

Bird Apprentice 2/25 by Corinne Geertsen, 16 x 12 in. (frame size: 25 X 21 in.), Digital Photo Collage Geertsen starts with a photo of an ancestor and after digitally removing the person from the photo, places them on a white background and moves on to what she calls the “Yikes Method.” “I add in another person, a violin, a hippo, a fish,” Geertsen said. “It‘s very random. I call it auditioning. If the new addition doesn’t look good with the person I began with, it’s “yikes” and I move it out and try a new one. I’m looking for something or someone that looks quite good visually with what’s already there, and perhaps suggests a story. The story gradually materializes out of thin air while I’m choosing objects for the picture.” Using a digital brush, Geertsen then paints layer upon layer of color, texture, light and shadows until there are over a hundred layers in her picture.

25th Street
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
25th Street, by Elise Zoller, 24 x 30 in. oil on panel. Elise Zoller has recently embarked on a series of plein air paintings of sites around Salt Lake City and in the smaller towns of Utah from Hurricane to Huntsville. She has enjoyed meeting people along the road and learning about the history of the state. “Plein air work can be physically demanding, but there is no substitute for working from life. Light and shadow dance in subtle ways a photograph cannot capture. Even the wind and the fragrances it carries inform the work. Scenes come alive when you stand in one place for a few hours. You’ve got to get to know a spot,” Elise says. “While I work, all manner of people come up and talk to me about their towns and their lives. I’ve met a downwinder from Enterprise, pie bakers in Veyo, pony cart...

Wendover.3
By Joseph Ostraff
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
"Wendover 3" by Joseph Ostraff, oil on panel, 36 X 31 inches, $4,800. "For me, paint documents the state of things, how I feel and what is at the forefront in my thinking—maybe it’s like the soup of the day. I do not consider this process to be anything special in itself. The paintings record the daily random and absurd associations I make, which seem interesting to me after the fact. The Domestic paintings are a case in point. My wife and I have six children. Four have left home. Three are married. We are left with two children, both currently in middle school. We have about five years and they too will move out. This is on my mind. I am thinking about the layers of memories and it comes out as layers of paint. Feeling nostalgic, I think about all the noise and activity our home has absorbed. In turn, I found children’s large vinyl decals from Angry Birds...

San Rafael Reef #2
By Mark Knudsen
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
San Rafael Reef #2, acrylic on panel, 11 x 37 1/2 inches, $2,200 “It is my feeling that the desert country of the American West is too large, too wild, too gorgeous to be encompassed by traditional landscape painting. Our inherited aesthetic defines beauty in landscape as green and arable land or grand, breathtaking places. I feel the need to expand that definition. I want to portray the desert as it is right now; to dispense with the limitations of what has come before, to quietly point out the beauty of places that are harsh and forbidding to habitation but express an aesthetic of the wild. I strive to go beyond the sentimentality that often defines our images of the West. The scale of many of my pieces (an extreme horizontal) is a compositional strategy to capture the vastness of these places.” – M. Knudsen Mark Knudsen...
