Show Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, July 7-10, 2018 The Park Record C-5 Continued from C-1 Showcase features local art year in a decision that public records have shown was partly motivated by a desire to mine the area’s resources. “With the current administration reducing the size of the monument by 82 percent, I used my work to challenge the administration’s actions,” he said. “I am using my photographs to help protect this incredibly special area.” While Pick explored the Bears Ears area, he spent time in canyons and ancient Puebloan ruins, finding rock drawings and writings left by those who came before. “I also discovered many pictographs and petroglyphs and got interested in taking more photographs of those areas,” he said. The petroglyphs led Pick to discover other ancient sites located in the San Rafael Swell and northeastern Colorado. “Those areas have wilderness potential, and I know many people are working to protect them,” he said. “Some of my photos from those areas will be showcased in the show.” For information about Richard Pick’s photography, visit rdpnaturephoto.com.

Pick captured while visiting the Portland Japanese Garden in Oregon, shows the photographer’s love on nature. paints on wooden boards. “I prime the board so a variety of textures will show through the paint,” she said. “I work with brushes and palette knives to create more textures and a sense of depth.” Perkins prefers working with boards instead of canvases because boards are sturdy. “A board doesn’t move or bend,” she said. “Canvas can get a little bouncy, and that drives me nuts.” With all of her works, Perkins, who has painted scenes from photographs and plein air setups, tries to recreate an experience she has had with the landscape. “It’s really a reaction of something I see that touches me,” she said. “I’m in the process of transforming my methods to real life. I can’t tell you right now how things will turn out, but I can tell you that my works will be more Artists participating in the 2018 Summit Arts Showcase • Adrianna Allegretti • Bill Silliman • Carman Espinoza • Cheryl Livingston-Young • Chikamu Arts • Denise Walz • Dori Pratt • Frances ReMillard • Fred Montague • Gabrielle Wolfe • Jan Perkins • Juanita Marshall • Judy Summer • Kathy Cartier • KGEK Design • Lael Holm • Leslie Moss • Mary Perry • Melanie Ferguson • Renee Mox Hall • Richard Pick authentically ‘me.’” The artist enjoys immersing herself in a work. “I get lost once I get the rational mindset out of the way,” she said. “It’s then where I can develop a connection with myself.” Perkins, who has been an artist for more than 30 years, also enjoys interacting with her clients. “I intentionally pulled my works out of galleries a couple of years ago because I like interacting personally with my collectors, rather than go through a gallery,” she said. “I enjoy the conversation and seeing people interacting with my works. And I also don’t like to having to wait six weeks to get paid for something I sold.” Perkins became a painter because seeing visual beauty everywhere is important to her. “It’s about capturing and preserving a scene,” she said. That philosophy has bled into another passion of hers – the conservation of heritage. “I’ve sacrificed my art career to get involved with the eastern Summit County rezoning process, where I speak out for the public,” she said. “This is near and dear to my heart. It’s about the preservation of history and landscape, which is the same motivation that gets me to paint.” For information about visual artist Jan Perkins, visit Janperkinsfineart.com.
