She will further talk about handy little on the job theories/systems to think about such as order of operations in painting.

Louise Sackett is an award winning artist who has studied, exhibited and taught on both coasts. She has been an artist her life long, and was art director for a Navy squadron whose primary mission was flight and platform training.

Louise finds the endless variety of Utah’s topography a challenge that often results in differing approaches. It has been several years since Louise has been in Escalante and she looks forward to the wild colors, rocky landscape and the opportunity to meet others sharing the same passion.
