Hadley Rampton is an exceptional artist from Salt Lake City, Utah. She is perhaps best known for her remarkable plein air oil paintings of wilderness landscapes in Northern Utah. However, her talents with water color are equally impressive. For her water color inspiration, Hadley makes annual trips to Europe to capture the history, architecture and culture of old cities. She strives to find the story of time gone by in the old buildings and cobble stone streets.

Anyone who knows Hadley will have many wonderful things to say about her, but I'm sure one of the most frequently mentioned attributes must be her thoughtfulness. She regularly goes the distance to take care of her family and friends. She also serves her community - not only through her art, but also as a devoted employee at Phillips Gallery, a board member for RDT, a supporter of the arts and a promoter of important social and evironmental causes.
In June, Hadley is giving back, yet again by donating 10% of the sales of water color paintings from her 'Zanzibar' series to Project Wezesha! Given the number of images in this show, Project Wezesha has the opportunity to earn up to $550 from these sales. We are deeply grateful to Hadley.
Please help us spread the word about her show and encourage collectors - new and old - to invest in both the beautiful art of a celebrated local artist and the education of children in rural Tanzania.
The show opens on Friday June 17th at Phillips Gallery and runs through July 8th. Hadley's oil and water color paintings will be shown alongside the work of another local artist, Sharon Alderman. For more information on the show, please click here.
Thank you so much, Hadley!
