Under the Western Sun – Where an artist lives impacts the voice with which they speak. Here in the West we experience extreme of climate and altitude, intense color and light, unusual landscapes and plants, unique people and cultures. These all influence the work we do Under the Western Sun.

This exhibit was open to SAQA members from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and New Mexico. The juror was Patty Kennedy-Zafred.
