Utah-based painter S. A. Peterson builds bold landscapes where the wild geometry of mountains meets the quiet rhytmn of meditation.  After years of moving between the Wasatch peaks and the hidden city gardens of Salt Lake City, they developed a style that merges natural observation with sharp, modern abstraction.  Their paintings feel at once familiar and otherworldly:  luminous planes of color cut across hand-hewn ridges, revealing the tension between permanence and change.

S. A.'s creative process is rooted in plein-air study--long days of sketching under Utah's high-desert light--followed by studio sessions where those field notes explode into color.  Transparent wood grain often remains visible, a reminder of the living material beneath the paint.  Each piece becomes a conversation between the raw and the refined, the remembered and the immediate.

Collectors describe their work as "landscape re-imagined," but S. A. Peterson sees it as a way of recording belongong:  the moment the sun ignites a canyon wall, the instant a snowfield slips into the shadows. Their art invites viewers to stand inside that moment of wonder and hold it, even as time moves on.
