Artist's Statement
After years of working in pastel and acrylic, I now work primarily in collage. These works are composed of paper and fabric with a few enhanced by acrylic paint. A few also have mosaic embellishments. This medium has allowed me to escape my tendency to be too detailed and to explore a more emotional and tactile dimension of a wide variety of subjects. The unlimited availability of fabrics and paper is exciting and has significantly enhanced my personal creativity and challenges the limits of my imagination. However, more recently I’ve moved towards alternating collage with watercolor and ink paintings and graphite drawings, primarily to keep my drawing and painting skills fresh. This show features some of these works along with both chalk and oil pastel.

Community Impact: I am blessed to be able to donate 100% of the proceeds of my sales to local nonprofits, making a difference in the lives of area residents and the well-being of our natural environment, which informs much of my artwork. This show’s proceeds will benefit the cause of preserving our beautiful and critical rivers’ infrastructure and the Great Salt Lake through the Utah Rivers Council.

About the branch

The pleasing design of the Anderson-Foothill Branch has two unique elements as part of its plan. The first is a passive solar energy design that includes earth berming, window placement for solar heating, and zone supplemental heating/cooling. The second element of this 14,900 square foot community library built in 1985, expanded in 1992 and in 2002, is a modular design.

The Anderson-Foothill Branch has a meeting room available for public use with tables, chairs, and a projector screen. The Anderson-Foothill Branch's outdoor amphitheater is a popular location for summer concerts. Free parking is available to the north and south of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
