Carol Bold: Color of the Wild

St. George-based painter and printmaker Carol Bold displayed her solo exhibition, “Color of the Wild,” at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River from June 21 through Dec. 18, 2021.

“This exhibition is the culmination of years in the making,” said Bold. “The entire body of work is in celebration of this unique and beautiful landscape we all live and play in. The exhibit will showcase around 50 original linocut prints and paintings, both old and new, and include many works that have never been on display to the public before. This is the kind of opportunity I have been dreaming about since moving to the Southwest over ten years ago, and I am thrilled to see it all finally coming together.”

Since moving to Southern Utah in 2010, Carol Bold has not only embodied the spirit of the Southwest, she has lived it. She has traveled its winding trails, explored its rough terrain, traversed vast plateaus and broad basins, gazed up towering canyon walls, climbed through deserts of painted rocks, and looked down on the world from the clouds above. Through her vivid use of color, her iconic imagery and her eye for the dramatic, she sets out to capture the beauty of the southwest in way its never been seen.
