Gallery Moab welcomes Megan Rieker back as guest artist.  She lives in Pleasant Grove, Utah.  She is an oil painter who paints beautiful landscapes En Plein Air.   Come meet her Friday, April 5th at her opening reception from 5-8pm.  It's possible she will be working on one of her paintings in the gallery the evening of her reception.  Her work will be on display for the month of April.

Besides painting landscapes, for the past 24 years, Megan Rieker has been painting women of the gospel. She started her journey by attending a high school of the arts outside of Washington DC, then went on to receive her Bachelors and Masters’ degrees at Maryland Institute College of Art. She married her husband, Mark, and are parents of 3 boys and 2 grandsons. Heavenly Father has made up for surrounding her with all this testosterone by making her Young Women’s president… 4 times! Their family has lived in Baltimore, New York, Germany, Italy, Korea, Phoenix, Colorado Springs & Washington DC through working with the Air Force. They are now empty nesters in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Megan’s work has been featured in the Ensign, Museums, various book and CD covers, church videos, and in meetinghouses. Her speaking has also taken her around the world and most recently she spoke at the BYU Women’s conference. Her goal through art and speaking is to inspire, uplift, and bring women closer to their Heavenly Father.
