"I created Raining Joy arts to create bold and colorful-like, nature inspired art, but the goal really is to help people feel connected to wild places,� Sarah Crowley said.
Sarah Crowley often uses an array of colors in her paintings to express details beyond what is inherent to her chosen landscape. One set of her monument paintings has lines and bold colors, emphasizing her personal touch, while the other set was more rooted in realism.
Hailing from Denali, Alaska, painter Sarah Crowley captured intricate, high-desert details of northern Arizona’s three culturally significant national monuments on brush and paper during a two-week artist residency program at Wupatki National Monument.
During her stay from Jan. 24 to Feb. 8, Crowley used bright colors and sharp lines to create six paintings, two of each monument, incorporating natural history and regional culture into her work. Her finalized pieces will be available as prints and other keepsakes for park visitors to purchase.
