Julia Buckwalter has lived in Moab for over a decade. She spent childhood in Utah, traveling often throughout the Southwest to our parks and monuments, and places like O’Keeffe’s Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Every desert’s sweeping landscapes and majestic skies have made her feel at home. She’s lived on both coasts and acquired a degree in the Visual Arts for Painting at Pennsylvania State University. Buckwalter was most recently awarded the distinction of 2021 Artist in the Parks by the Canyonlands Natural History Association. Her large, vibrant paintings in oil display her passion for the desert, years of emotion and memory becoming “windows” of time.
