About the Judy Taylor Memorial Award:
“More than any other artist of our Park City generation, Judy Taylor captured the essence of Park City and helped define what is precious to us. Her watercolors are a magical play of light and muted shapes that capture a romantic image we hold of our community and ourselves. Judy loved Park City and recorded it for us in delicate detail. Her passion for history and community live on in her works. We will miss her great style and cheerfulness and her keen eye for seeing and recording the simple things, which, of course, never are.”  Reprinted from “Sundays in the Park” by Teri Orr, The Park Record, Aug 5, 2006.

Catalog of Exhibitors

Thoughts from our President – Gayle Allen. Welcome to the 2007 Utah Watercolor Society Spring Open Exhibition!  We are delighted to be in the Utah Arts Alliance new gallery space. Congratulations to all the artists that were juried into the show and to every artist who had enough confidence in his or her work to enter the show. The quality of this year’s entries was wonderful.  We urge all artist at all levels to persevere.  Congratulations!

A Note from the Juror, Linda Kemp.  "My sincere congratulations to all artists who submitted work to this exhibition.  There were many fine paintings to choose from which made my job of selecting a limited number very difficult. My goal was to build an exhibition that was diverse in styles, subject matter and technique that would represent the high level of skill that was presented." A Canadian artist, Linda is extensively recognized for her unique contemporary watercolors and innovative use of negative space and glazing. She is the author of the #1 best-selling book, Watercolor Painting Outside the Lines—A Positive Approach to Negative Painting. A full time artist, she frequently instructs and lectures at national symposiums and watercolor workshops throughout Canada, the US, and the United Kingdom.
