Jim Jones and Lynn Berryhill, both current residents of Springdale, located just outside Zion National Park, will each have several pieces displayed in what has become a traditional exhibit featuring local artists. Both artists are graduates of the University of Utah. Berryhill was born in Iowa, but she moved to Utah with her family at a young age. Her most recent work involves primarily abstract forms created on large textured canvases. In addition to the University of Utah, she has studied at College of Marin and Sonoma State University. "Her paintings feature bold color and movement, but retain an internal delicacy from her transparent and layered washes," Lydia Johnson, director of museums a~d galleries, said. "Earlier in her career, she established her name as a watercolorist with a distinctive style which included an ethereal feather series, unique desert scenes. and floral studies." Jones, whe was born in Cedar City, explains that he grew up "in the shelter of the old Utah Parks Company and the wor1d's h'lost enthralling scenery." After working in portraiture for a while, Jones turned to landscapes, insisting that "the main event always seemed to be in the view outside the studio window." Jones has done extensive work featuring the scenery in and around the Grand Canyon, which he calls "My Odyssey." His paintings include many which demonstrate his interpretation of the beauty of the mountains and deserts of southern Utah and northern Arizona. An opening reception July 1 at 7:30 p.m. will allow the public an opportunity to meet both of the artists. The Braithwaite Gallery is open from 1-7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Admission is free.
