Collection: Community Artist

Charlotte Quigley has a deep well of experience with both art and national parks. A life-long watercolorist, she also works in pastels and, more recently, oil paints. She has a master’s degree in art history and experience as a youth arts teacher, arts council director, and member of the Gallery Moab cooperative.

After living at several national parks in New Mexico, Quigley moved to Moab 18 years ago. "I feel so fortunate to be in such a beautiful place, where there are so many amazing subjects so close at hand." About her upcoming tenure as Community Artist in the Parks, Quigley says, "I'm excited to have this opportunity to paint in the parks and encourage others in their creative endeavors. This is a chance to really focus on our beautiful landscape and share its unique characteristics with others."

Next year, Charlotte Quigley will create original work within the parks for a minimum of 24 hours per month, April through October, and share her inspiration and creative process with visitors. Her works will be sold in the Canyonlands Natural History Association stores during her tenure.
