November, the cusp between fall and winter, is an ideal time to enjoy the wealth of opportunities for recreation, adventure, and inspiration offered by the public lands surrounding Moab. Spectacular canyons, rivers, mountains and open desert are all here for everyone’s enjoyment. Gallery Moab, a cooperative gallery owned and operated by a group of local artists, celebrates this wealth of beauty through their creations. Each month a special guest artist is invited to display their work, bringing a new perspective and a fresh look to the gallery. Step into Gallery Moab to see what magic our remarkable landscape can inspire!
Rebekka Anderson, a printmaker from Teasdale, Utah is the featured Guest Artist for November. She has been drawn to nature and wild places since she was young, which inspired her to follow a career path as a National Park Service Ranger. She spent nearly 20 years working in numerous western parks, including Zion, Sequoia, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, and Wrangell St. Elias in Alaska. Her art is inspired by the incredible landscapes of the western United States and the resilient wildlife that resides there.
Anderson says the art of printmaking found her in 2018 when she first made Christmas cards for friends and family. The process of carving away what doesn’t belong, working in reverse, different methods of overlaying color, the bold lines created from sharp gauges, deep saturated colors, and gentle gradients continue to fascinate and inspire her creativity in the medium. She likens it to making the perfect cup of coffee, where all the separate factors catalyze to create the finished product. With coffee, the bean, the roast, the grind, the water temperature and pressure, and added sugars or milk come together with endless flavors. With printmaking, the paper thickness and moisture, the ink viscosity and saturation, the pressure, and the block material all determine the “flavor” of the finished print.
Anderson started “Erosion Studio” in 2022 and with her art, she seeks to connect people with the beauty and awe of the Colorado Plateau and its inhabitants and inspire their advocacy for our incredible public lands.
The gallery will host a reception for Anderson during Art Walk on Friday, November 7, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Join us as she gives a demonstration of her printmaking process (probably around 6:30). Enjoy a lively evening of refreshments and creative camaraderie. If you can’t make it that evening, Anderson’s work will hang in the gallery throughout November.
