Keith Dabb

Keith will be displaying new artwork created recently, with the wildlife and landscape scenes that touch his heart.  Anyone who is familiar with Keith's work, knows the beautiful sense of light and shadow that is part of each landscape, and the spirit of each animal portrayed in his wildlife scenes.  His connection with his subjects come across with paintings that feel "just right" and the viewer can make the same connection that Keith feels as he paints the scene.  

Keith Dagley

Keith A. Dagley received a Bachelor of Arts Degree at Utah State University and taught art for 33 years in Weber County, Ogden, Utah. He currently produces art work full time. Most recently, Keith was featured at the Celebration of Fine Arts in Scottsdale, Arizona from January through March 2011.

A versatile artist working primarily in oil, Keith uses both brush and knife techniques. He also works in pastel, graphite and prisma pencil, and is often inspired by his own experiences. A love of family, horses and ranch life, wildlife, Native Americans and their culture, both past and present, provides a wide range in the body of his work.

"Recording life, whether wild, domestic, present or historical, through my artwork fulfills a great need that I have. Capturing the personality of each animal, person, or event and sharing these experiences is the principle behind my painting," says Keith Dagley.

Lauri Eskelson

I was raised with a love of art and influenced greatly by my father who was a university art professor and an avid outdoorsman. At a very early age, I became awestruck by the beauties of nature and developed a strong love for the land. I completed an art degree with an emphasis in painting and currently paint in oils.

Landscape is still the subject that touches my soul. I am most interested in capturing the mood of a place, striving for a subtle feel for each particular landscape. I have recently been doing more plein air painting. I’m inspired by open space and love the energy that comes from painting directly from the land.

In the years since completing my degree, I’ve had the opportunity to take several workshops and classes with some outstanding Utah artists: G. Russell Case, John Poon, Shanna Kunz, Doug Braithewaite, David Koch, and John Hughes. I currently exhibit my work at Gallery 25 in Ogden, Impressions Gallery in St. George, Utah, Canyon Gallery, Fruit Heights, Utah and Apple Hollow Gallery in Glendale, Utah. I am a member of the Palette Club of Ogden.

Carol Fielding

I was taught to love art at my father’s knee. I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t moved by color and all of God’s creations. An artist has a need to capture a fleeting moment or mood and recreate it so that hopefully others can see what you saw and love it.

I was born in Rock Springs, Wyoming, where my father, Darwin E. Meacham, was Director of the Rock Springs Art Center. I was encouraged to come to the gallery and draw. Dad taught me a lot about the old masters and helped me appreciate art in all forms. I knew I was an artist, but most of my life my need for personal expression was directed toward music and poetry. Dad was the painter and I guess I just didn’t want to tread on his hallowed ground. After my father’s death in 1989, I turned to painting.

I studied oil painting under George Allen and watercolors under Terry Combe Johnson at the Salt lake Community College. I have taken classes in pastels from Marge Call and Kay Affleck. I have exhibited in many art shows and received many accolades from highly respected artist. I am a member of the Palette Club of Ogden.

I love to paint in all media and find beauty in everything I see, resulting in very diverse art. I have been a business woman, civic leader, volunteer and mother of five wonderful children.

I am proud to be a charter member of Gallery 25 in Ogden, Utah.

Darlene Stevenson Hamblin

I was born in Duchesne, Utah and have lived in Ogden most of my life. Our home is near the river and Ogden Canyon, with surroundings that have inspired many of my paintings. I have loved doing creative and art related activities since I was a small child. Some of my fondest memories are of having such a strong desire to draw, that I would draw on all the blank pages in my mom’s encyclopedia. As my six children were growing up, I would many times take a few minutes and do some sketching. Later when they were all in school I started doing more serious art work.

I studied at Weber State and Utah State Universities and a home study course “Famous Artists”. I love all forms of art and most subjects. I taught oil painting classes for eighteen years and have recently discovered the many versatile qualities of acrylics both on canvas and with collages.

Phil Hopkins

 A native of Cincinnati, Ohio artist Phil Hopkins studied with several well known local artists such as Robert Fabe while in college. Phil was invited to join the prestigious Cincinnati Art Club where he held his first one man show. Drawn to the West, Phil relocated to California while still working as an art director, illustrator and designer. After a long career in commercial art Phil was finally able to realize his dream of painting full time. A move to Utah in 1998 further deepened his love of the western landscape.

Phil and his artist-wife Shirley explore Utah and the surrounding states each spring and summer painting plein air and taking scores of photographs to be turned into oil or watercolor paintings back in their studios.

Phil's colorful and realistic depictions of the western landscape reflect his extensive illustrative background. His expert drawing skills bring his subjects to life whether he is depicting an antelope standing guard on a hill or a river flowing quietly through the dense forest of the Bitterroot Mountains.

Phil has shown his artwork in galleries in Ohio, California, Arizona and Utah and is currently affiliated with Gallery 25 in Ogden, Utah. His work is in public and private collections throughout the country. Two of Phil's paintings for the U.S. Air Force are in the Pentagon collection and a painting of the USS Des Moines, a ship Phil served on in the Navy, is in the Gold Star Military Museum in Des Moines, Iowa. His resume is replete with fine art awards he has received over the years.
