ARTIST STATEMENT:
I believe that art is representative of everything that encompasses humanity and I seek to encompass everything that I am through my art. I believe that art can have the power to change people and I seek to change myself as I work out concepts and questions through the visual arts. My art is about my desire to connect with other people through similar experiences and feelings that people may have thought they were alone in feeling.

About the branch
This beautiful facility was designed to complement the Rose Park neighborhood with sensitivity to its site on the Jordan River Parkway. An open space plan, with a large community meeting room and outside deck area, will accommodate this growing community for many years.
The south property of the Day-Riverside Branch is home to TreeUtah's EcoGarden, a "food forest" where all members of the community can learn about urban farming and organic gardening. The Day-Riverside Branch has a meeting room available for public use that features tables, chairs, a projector screen, and a piano.
Free parking is available to the west of the building, and free wi-fi access is provided throughout the library.
