Both Art and Nature have the powerful ability to heal those who are lucky enough to make art based on nature, and those who look at it with appreciation. Gallery Moab’s August Guest Artist is Sean-Paul Schulte, a watercolor artist based in Moab, Utah. Sean-Paul’s artwork is a testament to the human ability to triumph over profound trauma. After unimaginable loss, Sean-Paul turned to art as a source of healing. Painting became his refuge—his solace, his peace, and a deeply personal tribute to the loved ones he carries with him every day.

Towering red rock cliffs, winding rivers, dramatic skies, spectacular desert sunsets, and ravens, his spirit animal, have become the foundation of his vibrant watercolor paintings. Born in Helena, Montana, Sean-Paul was raised in a creative family. Throughout his life he has expressed himself through many artistic outlets, including songwriting, painting, and teaching guitar to students in Moab. Today he is also a highly regarded guide, leading visitors through Arches National Park each day and sharing his passion for its geology, history, wildlife, and breathtaking scenery.

In 2025, Sean-Paul committed to painting every morning at 5:00 a.m. for six straight months without missing a day. That discipline transformed both his confidence and his technique. His early watercolor work featured whimsical, cartoon-inspired scenes that reflected his adventurous spirit and sense of humor. (He often jokes that he threw the color wheel out the window.) With his spontaneous watercolor technique using bold and unexpected color, he has created a signature style. His most recent paintings celebrate the Southwest in a joyous and fanciful way. He affectionately calls this recent collection “Radical Rocks, Big Skies & Ravens.” Every painting reflects not only his unique impressions of the natural world but also the resilience of his human spirit.

We will celebrate with Sean-Paul during an ARTWALK reception on Friday, August 7th from 5 to 8 pm.

Visitors and Town Folk alike are welcome to meet the artist, in addition to gallery artists who own and operate our cooperative. Or, make a stop at Gallery Moab, 63 South Main Street during the month of August to see his work, including prints, cards, and stickers.
