Artwork from Saltgrass Printmakers
Stewart Library Lower Level (October 5, 2009 – November 19, 2009)
A Utah Arts Council Traveling Exhibition of artwork by ten members of Salt Lake City-based Saltgrass Printmakers is opening at the Stewart Library, Weber State University on October 5, 2009. Each artist works in a variety of printmaking techniques and media. One of the benefits of working in a community studio is often a sharing and exchange of ideas, techniques and information that can lead to interesting collaborations. This particular show highlights the variety of techniques and resulting prints that have been created and printed at Saltgrass Printmakers. This exhibit is brought to you by the Friends of the Stewart Library.

Images by Kevin Mikkelsen
Stewart Library, Middle Level (Ongoing Exhibit)
Kevin Mikkelsen resides in North Ogden, Utah right at the base of the Wasatch Range. “Besides being a beautiful place to live, North Ogden is the perfect jumping off point in which to reach one of 7 National Parks, all within a 5 hour drive time. As time passes, and new things are seen, more miles are traveled, and more mountains climbed, that love progressively deepens and has become an inspiration in his photographic work. Capturing images through today’s digital and film technology has allowed Kevin to express that inspiration in the form of scenic landscapes and wildlife fine art prints.” We are pleased to have the opportunity to show 13 of Kevin’s beautiful images in the library, his complete works may be viewed by going to: PhotographyOutdoors.com
