“Moonlight Over Zion”

I’m a huge fan of Maynard Dixon. His powerful compositions, with their emphasis on design and color, are inspiration to any landscape photographer wanting to improve their craft. Dixon charished the country around Zion National Park. He and his wife, Edith Hamilton, built a home and studio in Mt. Carmel (just east of Zion) and over the years, hosted, collaborated, and encouraged many artists.
This week, the Thunderbird Foundation for the Arts hosts Maynard Dixon Country, an art show, gathering and sale of work by thirty-forty of America’s premier artists.
I visited the Mt. Carmel home and studio a couple years ago — the event should be great.
