Oil on Canvas, 4” x 12” x 1.5”, 2025
Monuments of Moab is a landscape study inspired by the dramatic geological formations of southeastern Utah. This painting explores the sculptural presence of sandstone cliffs and mesas shaped over millennia by wind, water, and time. Through layered brushwork and a warm, earthy palette, the composition captures the rhythm and permanence of the desert terrain. The work emphasizes the contrast between solid rock formations and the shifting light that defines the high desert environment. Subtle variations in color and texture evoke erosion, movement, and scale, while the horizontal format echoes the expansive openness of the Moab landscape. This piece reflects an ongoing exploration of geological time, place, and process—interpreting the land not as a static subject, but as a living record of natural forces and transformation.
This piece was created for the 3 Square Art - 100 Square Inches of Art 25 show and was accepted and showcased on the Featured Gallery wall during the 2025 exhibit.
