Gallery Moab Reception for Serena Supplee, Moab ArtWalk, Last day of Moab Artists Studio Tour. So much to do in Moab this weekend.

Serena Supplee has happily been creating art in Moab on the Colorado Plateau since 1980. I love to peruse the great outdoors. . . . to see what catches my eye. . . . a spot that “speaks to me,” then to sit quietly and draw with a pencil.  Sometimes I scout locations and then come back another day to sketch. Many places are remote, so I drive my 4-wheel-drive vehicle and pitch a tent, staying a few days on location.  I also row my boat down the river, often for multiple nights, seeing yet another perspective. When I find a great spot, I sit in the shade of a tree, umbrella, or my vehicle to sketch an idea. By spending time concentrating on the scene before me, drawing the place imprints changing shadows and colors in my mind. I choose to work from my sketches rather than photos to give my imagination more reign. My paintings are my eye, not the camera’s eye.

 Current Event 2016 by Serena Supplee currently on display in Gallery moab.

Serena will be at the gallery from 6 pm to 9 pm. Along with some of the Gallery Moab Aartist. Some refreshments and snacks will also be available. Gallery Moab will also have 6 of our artists participating in the last day of the Moab Artists Studio Tour.  Moab the place to be this weekend.
