Art reception

In 2013, three Moab residents succumbed to years - some might say decades - of procrastination, to finally fulfill a yearning to express themselves artistically, exploring the world of watercolor painting. At the helm was fearless leader Bruni Mason, a textile designer by trade, who – brace yourselves – had actually taken art classes. Beginners Lowrey Mumford and Rani Derasary shamelessly took advantage of the tutelage of Mason, who did her patient best to teach them the rudimentary principles of painting. Many is the time Mason advised them to redo a painting as a learning exercise, or to – shock and horrors – actually study drawing concepts such as perspective or “values”; sometimes they listened, more often they did not. Saint Bruni stuck with them; we don’t know why, perhaps it was the snacks.

All profits from Lowrey’s art benefit the American Lurcher Rescue Project (ALP), in Memory of her beloved Lurcher, Twiglet.
