Night Tarot, by Rose Thorn

Opening reception for Night Tatot, Digital Art Prints by Rose Thorn. Exhibit runs from August 3–September 5. Artist's Statement I have been creating art for as long as I can remember. It started with acrylic and watercolor, then moved to some sculptural work with clay. I eventually taught myself to sew and work with epoxy resin. Now I do most of my drawing digitally using Sketchbook. As well working with preserved bugs, flowers and bones. With my digital work I draw to process my feelings and what is going on in my world. Sometimes that is working to express my trauma and to heal, sometimes it is associated with my spiritual practice, and sometimes I will sit down and just create all day to relax and calm my mind. While my digital work normally helps me process my feelings. My work with preserved bugs, hand dried flowers from my spiritual practice and garden, and ethically sourced animal bones relaxes me and heals me. With these pieces I want the viewer to feel calm but also to see the beauty of life and death, that you cant have one without the other and it can still be beautiful. Artist's Bio Rose S. Thorn is a local Utah artist who learned to create at a young age by their family. After painting with Acrylic for the majority of their life, they taught themself to sew and work with epoxy resin, they have since transitioned to digital art and working with oddities and preserving the beauty in the world.
