Artist Bio: Abigale Palmer holds degrees from Brigham Young University and the University of Utah. Her work explores the subtle moments of joy so easily missed in the rapid pace of modern life. Her use of unworldly color combinations applied to everyday objects and scenarios helps remind us how brilliant and delicious the ordinary can be. An avid plein air painter, Abigale has participated and won awards from multiple plein air competitions in Utah. Her work can be found in Galleries in Utah and California as well as featured on an episode of BYUtv series Artful. From still life, to larger than life portraits and 20ft wide landscapes, a bold use of color and energy is found throughout her work and life. Abigale lives and works in Provo, Utah with her husband and five young children.
Artist Statement: She is reaching, tired and messy, expansive but small, and trying to grow. She is stretching, but it hurts. She is tall and proud, sitting on a foundation of the knowledge of her worth. That foundation was not free. It was created through fabulous earthquakes, thrilling wind, beating rain, and biting freeze. She wouldn’t trade anything in the world for these beautiful growth scars. She would not be herself without them. She knows what she can become because of those who have shown the way.
