WASHBURN AND FLECK ARE ALSO MUSICAL PARTNERS, C-2 www.parkrecord.com C-1 WED/THURS/FRI, JULY 27-29, 2016 Exhibit centers on three artists and the West Montgomery Lee Fine Art will host reception Friday By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Throughout the centuries, the American West’s abundant nature scenes have captured the imagination and provided a muse for many visual artists from the painters of the American Barbizon School to the Hudson River School. The region’s trees, plains, mountains and canyons have also fascinated three Utah painters --Dean Bradshaw, Bonnie Posselli and Ivan Blagorenko. Montgomery Lee Fine Art, 608 Main St., will celebrate these artists with a new exhibit “Through the Trees -- A Western Vision,” that will open with a reception on Friday, July 29, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. The Park Record caught up with the artists in separate interviews to talk about their works and their modus operandi.

His family wanted him to take over the family’s shrimping business and even sent him to business school. However, Sottil loved to paint, and though he had no formal training, he continued his love of creating art of animals and nature. “The struggle was that they realized I loved to paint, but you can’t run a fleet of 70 shrimp boats from a painting studio,” Sottil said with a laugh during an interview with The Park Record. “During my last year of school, I told my dad that I needed to explore the possibility of a painting career. “I asked him for one year to see if I could develop my process and sell my paintings for something other than Christmas gifts,” Sottil said. “A year later, I had my first show at the Thomas Anthony Gallery in Dallas. I had a full gallery and every painting sold.” That changed everything. “I never went back to Mexico, which was fortunate, because the government nationalized my fathers business and took it away from the family,” Sottil said.
