One snowy day in 2011, Stephen Trimble and his wife, Joanne Slotnik, arrived at a grove on the lower slopes of Mount Rainier with the ashes of his father. Trimble was born in Denver in 1950 to Don and Isabelle Trimble. Isabelle grew up in a small Montana town.

Rebecca Klundt is a Salt Lake City native and graduate from Brigham Young University with a BFA in 2D studio art, an emphasis on painting. And power tools. From a distance Klundt’s works may look like simple 2-D paintings, or maybe collage works, but they are actually created with found […]
As a self-taught artist, Andrew Alba says he’s able to create works “outside the constraining expectations that contemporary artists educated within the academy often face.” That hasn’t kept the artist out of official art institutions, however. He’s halfway through a year-long residency at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, […]
