MURALS OF MOAB

A look at the area’s impressive array of supersized art

“We’ve

found that people really love murals,” says Kelley McInerney, director of Moab Arts. “They’re really fun and it’s a great way to have an art piece that is accessible for everyone to see.”

The city’s arts division, Moab Arts, sponsors a variety of programs and events, including classes, workshops and summer camps; seasonal farmers markets; an annual arts festival; an artist residency; and art walks with coordinated showings in multiple galleries and exhibit spaces. It also funds public

art projects every year, usually including at least one mural.

There are dozens of indoor and outdoor murals around town. Some are visible from the driver’s seat on a trip down Main Street; others are best viewed on foot along the bike path or while relaxing at the park. Some are right where you’d expect them – on buildings, retaining walls and pedestrian underpasses – while others are a pleasant surprise in places like an alleyway, inside a bathroom or beautifying a dumpster.

Here’s a closer look at a few of the newer murals, as well as a look ahead.

GRAYCE WYLDER’S

Community Mural (2024)

For each annual Red Rock Arts Festival, Moab Arts staff try to come up with a community-participation art project. Last spring, they asked artists to submit proposals for “paintby-numbers” style murals related to the festival’s theme that year, “Ripples and Reflections.”

“My immediate thought was the Colorado River and how important that is to Moab and so many other places all along its trail,” says artist Grayce Wylder, whose submission was selected. Her design depicts the start of the river in Colorado and a few of the people, plants and animals that rely on it.

“I just pulled native plants and wildlife that you find all the way along, and kind of collaged it in,” she says. Paddlers splash through rapids, a canyon wren perches in the foreground, and native fish leap from the water, all against a background of stylized landscape features.

Wylder has been a freelance designer for about 10 years; she and her partner moved to Moab about a year ago from Arkansas.

“We’d been talking about moving out West for a long time—it just worked out,” she says. “Now that we’re here, I’m so in love with it! I never want to leave.”

She works mainly in digital format and had done only three or four murals previously, and never on the scale she undertook for the The Community Mural. Located under the Main Street bridge along the pedestrian pathway, the mural is around 90 feet long and 10 feet high.

“This one was so big – it counts for, like, seven (murals),” she jokes.

She wasn’t able to situate a projector in a way that would put the image in the right place on the wall, so she used a grid to guide a free-hand sketch of her design on the wall. The underpass had recently flooded and was cleaned up only just in time for the festival.

Wylder had also never led a community painting project before, but she said she loved the experience.

“It just worked really well with my style,” she says. “I do a lot of line work, so it was really perfect to have people come and fill it in. It just worked really naturally.”

INGRID PAYNE’S

White-lined Sphinx Moth (2023)

Inside the Moab Arts Center, a larger-than-life mural of a white-lined sphinx moth is nestled in a cluster of native wildflower species along the stairs leading to the upper floor of the building. Moab’s Ingrid Payne created the mural in 2023 when she was a senior in high school. Now she’s studying illustration in college in Salt Lake City.

“My family’s got some creatives in it,” she says. Her dad is a graphic designer and photographer. One grandfather was a painter, and the other was a poet. She always wanted to be an artist, and had a lot of support from her family. From her earliest years, she loved drawing and making things.

Before designing the moth mural, Payne had made smaller-scale murals at her middle and high schools, and she had some experience painting stage sets for competitive drama. She also made costumes, and won the state championship in that category. The mural inside the Moab Arts Center was the first mural she was paid to make.

Payne had worked for Moab Arts as an art instructor for youth camps for three summers and that’s how she learned of the public art program. Another instructor at the camp, also a local artist, encouraged her to apply and her proposal was selected. She chose a colored-pencil sketch she’d previously made to scale up to

make her wall-size piece, using a digital program to trace the original and then a projector to transfer it to the wall. The flowers include white Sego lily, orange globemallow, red Indian paintbrush, purple lupine, and yellow primrose. Payne said she had plenty of reference pictures for the flowers—her mom likes to photograph them.

“Every single spring she’ll send me, like, a million pictures a day from the trails, walking our dogs,” she laughs.

Payne says she’s been developing a lot as an artist in the past year. Her work is still colorful, as it has been in the past, but she says she finds her work shifting to being “a little more thoughtful” as she continues her studies.

“Knowing what I know now, I think the narrative and community aspect is important in murals.”

CARO NILSSON’S

Moonrise Over Gemini Bridges (2023)

Salt Lake City-based artist Caro Nilsson is often inspired by her experiences in the natural world. She paints from memory, rather than photographs, because she says that helps her more effectively capture the feeling of the experience. Her mural “Moonrise Over Gemini Bridges,” which is outside the Moab Brewery, combines multiple experiences she’s had in Moab.

“Backcountry camping, watching the moon rise in the desert, especially when it’s full, right at dusk—it’s so magical,” Nilsson says.

A distance trail-runner, she has also logged cherished miles on the Gemini Bridges Road admiring its scenery. She translated those experiences into a dreamy, 9x30 foot desert scene with pinks and purples accenting a blue-gray sky and umber cliffs.

Nilsson is an experienced muralist—she’s completed over 30—and she especially loves making public art in places where she feels connected to the landscape.

“Moab feels so homey in a way that doesn’t require fitting in in a certain way,” she says. “The desert accepts everyone.”

Nilsson had submitted a proposal to the Moab Arts public art program in 2022, before having a proposal accepted in 2023.

“It feels like a no-brainer to me,” she says. “Here’s an opportunity to celebrate this place that I love, for the public.”

While Nilsson also makes fine art paintings, one thing she loves about murals is that they can reach more people in the community. Creating a mural that honors a place is like “holding hands with strangers, in a way” she says.

MURAL IN THE WORKS

Moab’s planning and zoning department has long hoped to get a mural inside its office in the main city building and, this spring, local artists Tamar Phillips and Bradia Holmes are collaborating to create one through the Moab Arts public art program. Neither of them has made a mural before.

“Both of us do the tiniest, most minute art,” Phillips says with a laugh.

Philips went to art school, and also trained as a nail tech, In that role, she made extremely small designs. Now, she still makes very small art—sometimes on dainty discs of wood smaller than coasters. The largest painting she’s made so far, she says, is about two feet wide. But she is ready to make something big.

“I’m equal parts inspired and excited – but also terrified,” she says.

Holmes says she hadn’t thought of herself as an artist, but she’s made a hobby of drawing small, detailed lineart of blocky architecture. She livens up the ink lines up with watercolor paints, and gives the pieces away to friends and family.

Holmes’ sister, Olivia, and Phillips both work at Moab Made, a Main Street retailer that sells work by local artists. While Phillips was looking for someone to collaborate with her on the mural, Olivia happened to share a photo of Bradia’s work.

“‘Look at my sister’s cute little houses,’” Phillips remembers Olivia saying. Phillips had been wanting to incor-

porate an architectural element in her design, to suit the planning and zoning office. She asked Bradia to join her on the project, and she agreed, even though she had never made a mural either.

“It will be a lot bigger than anything either of us have ever done,” Holmes says. But both are drawing on their respective artistic skills and subject matter. Phillips usually draws digitally, so she can zoom in on each segment individually, not usually seeing all the elements at the same time. For the mural, she used a digital sketchbook to make a rough draft over a photograph of the wall where it will be painted. She layered in pieces of Holmes’ colorful, busy drawings of buildings, along with

landscape elements inspired by Arches National Park and the La Sal Mountains, blending their styles. They plan to finish the painting before summer.

McInerney says Moab Arts will continue to support public art as a way to celebrate and beautify Moab and develop and promote local artists. Her staff are willing to help less experienced artists with the process.

“You don’t have to be an experienced muralist,” she says.

Phillips says that the wealth of talent in the area bodes well for Moab’s future murals.

“Why wouldn’t Moab be completely covered in art!”

Meanwhile, McInerney is always looking for good locations for future murals.

“Once it gets in your brain, you just start looking,” she says. She notices large wall spaces, beautiful spots, and areas where people tend to gather.

“When I drive around town, I’m always like, ‘oh, that would be a good site to have a mural.’” n

The fun of giving

Moab Rotary Club performs humanitarian work locally and globally

AtRotary Club meetings held around the world, Rotarians ask themselves these four questions:

1. “Is it the truth?”

2. “Is it fair to all concerned?”

3. “Will it build goodwill and better friendships?” and,

4. “Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”

The Four-Way Test, as it’s known, is Rotary International’s guide for ethical business practices.

In addition to the Four-Way Test, at Moab Rotary Club meetings, members turn to longtime Rotarian Joe Kingsley, who adds a fifth, “Is this fun?” The goal is to have fun while doing good.

When Chicago attorney Paul Harris formed the Rotary club of Chicago on February 23, 1905, it was “so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships.” Over the years, Rotary grew into an international organization with clubs on six continents, held in 100 different languages. Rotary’s original vision expanded from being simply a social gathering, to include serving the community via humanitarian work. It is the policy of all Rotary clubs worldwide to be nonpolitical and nonreligious.

Rotary has evolved in other ways, too, since its founding, when only men were allowed to join the club. While Rotary used to have a reputation as being a businessmen’s club, that’s no longer the case, says Dave Bierschied, who is currently serving his third (not consecutive) term as President of the Moab Rotary Club, founded nearly 70 years ago. These days, there are probably more female members than men, he said.

Kingsley, 86, who has been a member for 45 years, was Moab Rotary Club President when the 1989 Council on Legislation voted to admit women into Rotary clubs worldwide. His spouse Britta Kingsley was the first Rotary Club President to serve three consecutive terms. “She made history – I was the first to serve two consecutive terms – she beat me,” says Kingsley, with a chuckle.

Other rules have relaxed, as well. These days, lunch meetings are more social, bringing like-minded folks together, where activities and projects are planned and discussed, says Biershied. Members meet bimonthly, on the first and third Monday at noon at Dewey’s Restaurant and Bar, 57 S. Main Street.

Rotary’s local beneficiaries

Grand County High School students benefit from the Moab Rotary Club through scholarships it gives out each year to students, based on merit and need. Rotary raises money for the scholarships largely through its classic car show and rod run event, held annually in April – which garners roughly $25,000, says Kingsley.

The club also funds “starter” packages for families at Seekhaven Family Crisis and Resource Center who are ready to leave the shelter and move out on their own. Starter packages include items like toiletries, pots and pans, mops and other household supplies.

The club recently funded a fence at a nonprofit daycare center, Moab Community Childcare. Plus, Moab Rotary contributed funds to another club working on a humanitarian project in Guatemala. Rotary clubs collaborate with one another on projects, both statewide, nationally and internationally.

Emily Roberson is executive director of the nonprofit Youth Garden Project, and at age 30, is currently Moab Rotary’s youngest member. Rotary members actively recruited Roberson a year ago after she sought funding to purchase fruit trees for the Youth Garden Project. Members invited Roberson to join the club, suggesting she become a liaison between Rotary and the nonprofit community, in light of her close connections with those organizations.

As Moab Rotary’s Foundation Chair, Roberson applies for grants from the Utah Rotary District on behalf of projects benefiting Moab nonprofits. For example, last year Rotary was able to purchase supplies for Moab Valley Multicultural Center’s afterschool program. The center is a regular beneficiary of Moab Rotary.

Relaxed Rotary

How meetings are conducted has changed somewhat over the years. “We used to do light-hearted roasting where members would be called out for arriving late,” and then were expected to make a small donation on the spot. After some younger members protested the “fine,” they let that practice go, Kingsley recalls. “The club became more casual. Back in those days we had more rules,” he says. “If you were late, you were fined. Today, if you’re late, we’re just glad you came.”

In addition to providing scholarships, another top priority for the club is supporting the Moab Free Health Clinic, says Kingsley.

Three or four times a year the Moab Free Health Clinic hosts a free vision clinic for residents to receive full eye exams and new glasses. Many Rotarians volunteer at these events, after being trained to assist as optometrist technicians. The free health clinic partners with Hope Alliance, in Park City, a nonprofit that provides, and fits, the prescribed lenses to the frames. Hope Alliance was founded by Rotarians in Park City.

The three-day vision clinic begins on a Wednesday at Helen M. Knight Elementary School where a school nurse identifies students in need of eye examinations and glasses. The clinic continues for adults over the next two days at the Moab Free Health Clinic. One or two optometrists from the Salt Lake City region volunteer their time at these events.

“Anyone without vision insurance is eligible,” said Moab Free Health Clinic executive director Kate Jagla. “We prioritize our patients, as well as those who are uninsured or underinsured, and people who are at or below the 200% federal poverty level.”

Founded in 2018, the free vision clinic in Moab is advertised on social media as well as on flyers posted at the clinic. Jagla adds to her list of potential patients throughout the year, and refers to that list to make appointments when a vision clinic is scheduled.

In January, 93 adults and 42 elementary students received full eye exams for free in Moab. For the majority of people who attend, it’s their first eye exam ever, says Jagla.

International projects

Rotarians are involved with international causes, too. For example, Rotary International began making the elimination of polio a priority in 1979, with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines.

Another international project emerged after local Rotarian Steve Getz and his wife Terri were planning a trip to Ukraine three years ago, but ended up in Budapest because Russia had invaded Ukraine. The couple learned from the Budapest Rotary Club about the need for a school for Ukrainian refugee children, who, along with their mothers, had fled Ukraine.

Getz, 69, enlisted members of the Moab club to partner in fundraising with the Budapest Rotarian group to start a school for 120 children. Rotarians have continued their efforts there, and have since expanded the school where 300 children are now enrolled. The clubs are presently working on purchasing computers for the school, says Getz.

On a local level, Moab Rotary recently repaired a fence at Rotary Park – the park being one of the club’s signature achievements. Located on three-acres at 680 S. Mill Creek Drive, Rotary Park includes outdoor musical instruments of all types, an amphitheater, basketball court, grills, a native hummingbird garden and many other amenities.

Although membership in Rotary has decreased overall over the years, the Moab Rotary Club is keeping its momentum going by finding two or three new members every year, Kingsley says.

Club president Bierschied jokes that he was “born a Rotarian,” adding, “that’s what I do. I help people. It’s just my nature. I believe in the saying ‘you give until it hurts, and then you give a little more.’ Most Rotarians are that way. They’re just good folks.”

Roberson said she appreciates Rotary’s apolitical policy and its international network of people doing good across the world. “I like doing good at the local level, and I like the international scope as well,” she said. “I’m happy to chat with anyone who is curious about Rotary,” adding that anyone interested can reach out to a member, or, says Roberson, “just show up to a meeting and we will welcome them.”
