Sierra McGuire

I’m a mother, wife and an artist. I’ve been painting professionally for the past 4 years and have loved this journey of selling, and displaying my passion. My artwork is a reflection of how I see nature. Nature is how I connect with myself, and painting it feels like an extension of my soul. I paint both Plein Air and in my studio and revel in the unique traits of each method. While my Plein Air paintings capture my feelings as I experience them, my studio paintings rely on my memories. I specialize in watercolor and have a deep appreciation for its airy, graceful look, in addition to its surprisingly complex process. My goal is to help my viewers experience the peace and serenity that I feel as I experience nature myself. Desert red rock, wildflowers, and public lands are key inspirations for me and symbolize beauty, resilience, and quiet strength.

What About Utah Inspires You?

The vast diversity in landscape. I have lived in northern utah and in southern utah so I love and appreciate all that Utah has to offer. I currently live next to Zion National Park. Utah inspires me that anything is possible. These landscapes are unreal, how the wildflowers can grow on a desert cliff and that so much life can come from such a dry climate teaches me that we personally can grow through whatever circumstances we are in.
