April --- the delightful month of fresh blossoms, tender young leaves and bird song! Come celebrate the beauty and fresh energy of the season with the artists of Gallery Moab. We are a cooperative of local artists who work in different mediums and styles to create original fine art and artisan crafts to express the spirit of this unique landscape. Each month we invite a different regional artist to display their work on our front wall, so there’s always something new and intriguing to enjoy.

Megan Rieker, our April Guest Artist is a skilled landscape, portrait, figurative and plein air artist who paints in oils with a lively, energetic style. She started her artistic journey by attending a high school of the arts outside of Washington DC, then went on to receive her Bachelors and Masters’ degrees at Maryland Institute College of Art. She and her husband, Mark, have three boys and two grandsons. Their family has lived in Baltimore, New York, Germany, Italy, Korea, Phoenix, Colorado Springs, and Washington DC through military postings with the Air Force. They are now empty nesters in Pleasant Grove, Utah.

Rieker is an engaging inspirational public speaker who is dedicated to using her art and speaking “to uplift and inspire others to reach for our potential as children of God.” For the past 24 years she has been painting women of the gospel. In 2000 she began the “Women of Inspiration” series about women throughout LDS history and the ideals and values taught in the gospel, and speak publicly about art, religion and women. She has been called to serve as Young Women’s President four times.

Rieker’s paintings have been featured in books, church videos, museums, temple visitor centers, church meetinghouses, galleries, books, CD covers in addition to regional art shows. Her speaking has also taken her around the world. Most recently she spoke at the BYU Women’s conference “to inspire, uplift, and bring women closer to their Heavenly Father.” Her landscape and plein air work will be featured at Gallery Moab throughout April.
