Lee Deffebach "Music, poems, landscapes land-scapes and dogs make me want to paint, and painting is what I live for," said Lee Deffebach during her life.

She moved with her parents par-ents to Salt Lake City and continued her love of color in high school art classes. She finished up her BFA at the University of Utah studying under Alvin Git-tins Git-tins and George Dibble. - LeConte Stewart taught her how to arrange a palette pal-ette which she said helped her immeasurably through out her life. After college she headed for New York and into abstract ab-stract impressionism. Her long career, included Abstract Ab-stract impressionism in the '50's, Pop art in the '60s' and Color field in the 70's. She traveled the world gaining color experience where ever she alighted. She would paint on any appropriate ap-propriate surface including includ-ing wood, paper, canvas, rusty tin and welded metal to name a few. Her paintings are alive with color and nuances to be felt by the viewer arid not imposed by her. In Lee's eyes, Life in Painting! Paint-ing! .

After Af-ter high school he went to Southern Utah University (formerly the Branch Agricultural Ag-ricultural College) where the practical side of life intervened in-tervened and he chose dentistry den-tistry over his love of art. After 32 years as a dentist he started his art career. He and his wife moved to St George where he took classes and worked at living liv-ing his dream- art- full-time. full-time. His art has won many prizes in Western art shows at Jackson Hole, San Diego, Dixie and Cedar Ce-dar City.

He painted mostly in wa-tercolor wa-tercolor but was also adept at pastels and oil painting. His main subjects were southwestern landscapes and some portraiture. Ed Maryon Born in Salt Lake City, Ed Maryon received his BFA and MFA from the University of Utah. Teaching Teach-ing at the U of U, he was eventually promoted to Dean of the College of Fine Arts. Each summer he taught an annual watercol-or watercol-or workshop in Monterey, California. Casual observers of his paintings would think he created collage or mosaics with flat colors, but careful care-ful inspection shows the areas to be broken up with subtle lines and fascinating fascinat-ing realistic designs. If you could cut his works up into smaller squares you would find each area to be a small individual painting. Lots of intricate detail is found in those larger watercolor works. His pen and ink sketches sketch-es are what lead to his finished paintings. The sketches themselves are worthy of gallery status. His paintings produce a cool and reflective mood. . Francis Zimbeatix Born in Paris, France, on Bastille Day in 1913, Francis Zimbeaux traveled trav-eled throughout Europe before moving to the United Unit-ed Spates. Upon arriving in America, he first lived in Missouri for 11 years and then moved to Utah in 1926. Zimbeaux studied at both the Art Barn School, and at the University of Utah with LeConte Stewart Stew-art and Alvin Gittins. At the age of 18, Zimbeaux Zim-beaux joined the Civilian Civil-ian Conservation Corps, where he was able to work outdoors and indulge in-dulge in his love of nature. This love can be seen in the tonal landscapes for which he is known. Yet his artistic subject matter Is not limited specifically to this genre. He is also well-known well-known for his paintings of the female nude and allegorical alle-gorical works. In addition, he has depicted mythological mythologi-cal scenes, religious imag- es, street scenes, as well as some portraits. Throughout his career, his work has been exhibited exhib-ited in numerous shows throughout the West. His artwork is found throughout through-out the country in various private collections.
