Professors may retire, artists don’t. For Wayne Kimball, a former professor of printmaking at Brigham Young University, the post-university years have been a flourishing period of artistic creativity. Pressing On, an exhibition of his most recent prints, collages, and boxes, on exhibit through Dec. 12 at his old […]
I like a man who fly-fishes; who has spent much of his life, “thigh deep in moving water.” Don’t know much about fly-fishing, myself, though I know many who do and revel in its necessary quietude and Zen-like keen focus. Oh, and c’mon, can there be a better-named […]
It’s about time they did an art show together: Bob Griswold, 97, and his son John, recently retired, who cares for him. Both watercolorists, father and son share an interest in painting their favorite things: camping, hunting, fishing, dogs, and subjects from hundreds of photographs they’ve taken. On […]
Entropy and Healing, currently on view at Draw Inc., features paintings and drawings by Robert Asay and stained glass by Megan Greer, works created in response to Asay’s recent diagnosis of epilepsy. The artists, who are partners, say they’ve used the act of artmaking as an avenue for […]
We’ve become accustomed to a number of preconceived notions about the life of an artist; often, we picture them as colorful and eccentric, right-brained individuals, who work irregular hours, wear paint-splattered clothes, and are at the mercy of the muses, prone to sporadic bouts of creative genius.

This week we bring you Joni Hemond, Doctor of Medicine, who has been a practicing pediatrician for twenty years. Much of her professional life has focused on providing care to medically underserved populations, and she is continually touched by the struggles, sorrows, and joys of her patients and their families. Her book, “Coyote Sky,” was born from writing fictionalized accounts of her experiences. It won First Place in the 2017 Utah Original Writing Competition, Book-Length Collection of Stories Category judged by Becky Bradway. Joni lives with her husband and three children in Salt Lake City where she is an academic pediatrician at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
In the words of Derek Zoolander, 200 South is “so hot right now.” It’s true, 2nd South, like much of Salt Lake City, is pretty hot right now. On any given night the stretch between 1st and 2nd East along 2nd South is buzzing with activity. It’s no […]
While working on the 337 Project in Salt Lake City in 2007, I learned about the “street art code” (though I don’t know that anyone called it by those three words). For aerosol and stencil artists, walls to work on, legally or not, are always in short supply, […]
This is ART, Not a Sign is a fitting title for Tanner Lenart’s exhibition at Nox Contemporary, which opened Nov. 16. The barrage of commercial signs, posted grid-like on the wall, and reading alternately “This is a Restaurant, not a Bar” or “This is a Bar, not a […]
Upon entering the Urban Arts Gallery at Salt Lake City’s Gateway Mall, one sees what appears to be a boutique selling T-shirts, knickknacks, art prints, etc. It doesn’t feel like one has arrived at Seeing the Sacred, the gallery’s current show. Even moving farther back into the cavernous […]
A fellow painter first introduced me to Jonathan Frioux on Instagram. His collage and mixed media approaches to painting are fresh and intriguing, so I decided to follow him. I indulged in small-format square photos of his works until just recently, when he posted a flyer for an […]
Repertory Dance Theatre’s “Mosaic” was a curated evening that showcased the broad range of cultural communities in existence in the Salt Lake City area: Polynesian, Native American, Spanish, Hispanic, African, Japanese, Cambodian, and Greek, as represented in the show.
