Based in Salt Lake City, Heather Olsen began her art endeavors at a very young age and her passion for creating grew as she did. She studied with various professional artists at the Bridge and Hein Art Academies and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Utah. From figures to still life, landscapes to animals, Heather is interested in the human condition and emotional aspect of our existence, and portraying the soul of every living thing. As a lifelong animal lover, animals often appear in much of her work.

Heather’s paintings are rooted in realism due to her classical training, but passionately creates her art with expressionistic brushstrokes and heavy application of paint. The use of vivid color and texture in each piece captures the emotional aspect of each subject.

For this exhibition, Heather will be featuring a collection of various animals that the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah treats and saves, and will also be donating part of her proceeds from the sale of her work to this amazing cause.

Emily Fox King is a visual artist working in oil paint, sculpture, installation, and printmaking. Much of her work explores notions of femininity, including domestic spaces, and feminized objects. She is currently exploring themes of creation and frustration in abstract floral imagery. In the words of Emily: “I think life, motherhood, womanhood, is a mixed bag of beauty, chaos, uncertainty, anger, and resignation, all in one. In the end it’s freaking gorgeousness! That’s what these florals are about.”

Emily is known for her large scale abstracted floral pieces. She paints with oils on canvas with an impressionistic color palette, aggressive brushstrokes, and heavy texture. Although some species of flowers within her pieces may be recognized, many of them are imagined rather than actual. Her florals represent femininity and feminine spaces.

Led by the talented Pamela Beach, in this class you will break beyond colors used traditionally in portraiture by delving into the many possibilities color can bring - blue and green shadows, hot pink highlights, and purple midtones. There are so many possibilities, we don't want to limit ourselves to tans and peaches. In fact, those won't even be an option in this class!

Because this class will focus on bringing emotion and interest through the use of color, images (Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman or Ruth Bader Ginsburg) will already be drawn onto your panels! Each participant will paint one 12"x12" portrait with acrylics of one of these famous people.

Pamela’s painting style is a form of portraiture that represents life experiences and emotions that are real, but not visible to the physical eye. What goes on in the heart and mind is where real transformations in life take place, and therein lies the place that Pamela strives to express through her paintings. 

Within each piece, Pamela seeks representation of a realistic figure going through an abstract process. It is a process similar to living life itself. When we look at the whole of our lives, some parts make sense, and some don’t. Some are solid, and well defined, and some remain confusing and murky. Pamela’s work is imbued with a reverence for life, a reverence for difficulties, and a reverence for the beautiful process we all go through as human beings.

Pamela paints with oil on panel, as this surface and medium allow her to express the messages she wants her artwork to convey. Sometimes areas are sanded down or painted over. Sometimes collage elements or fabric are added. She always leave traces of the whole process in the finished work so the viewer can sort out how she arrived at the end.

Pamela studied at BYU Provo where she graduated in 2002 with a BFA, with an emphasis in painting. While there she spent two months in Europe with the Visual Arts Department, visiting major museums and painting in small towns along the way. She also studied with BYU professors in New York, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, visiting major museums and galleries.

At Art Box we are happy to support young artists and entrepreneurs! We love being able to showcase young creative minds that exhibit it’s never too early to pursue your dreams. We invite you to come visit the pop-up shop of Roe Roe Candle Co. featuring handcrafted soy blend candles poured by monROE! Come meet and be inspired by this young creative who displays that you don't need a driver's license or high school diploma to transform your ideas into a promising business.

In the words of Monroe:

"My name is Monroe Gilbert. I am nine years old and I love to make candles. I started doing research on different waxes and fragrances, and convinced my mom to let me have a little business. I did not think it would have gone this far. I am very proud of myself (so are my mom and dad!). When I am not making candles, I am always dancing. I started competition dance when I was three, and currently dance for Utah Dance Academy. It is safe to say that between dance and candlemaking, I am always pretty busy!"
