About Serena Supplee
The beauty, truth and freedom of canyons and rivers pulse through Serena Supplee.
Forty-five years of living and loving the Colorado Plateau serve as the current of inspiration for her artwork. She paints with watercolors and oils, working from her drawings rather than photos to give her imagination more reign. Serena's book Grand Canyon Calling features her pencil sketches adjacent to her paintings.
Serena graduated with a BFA from Northern Arizona University, before moving to Moab, Utah, For a decade she worked as a guide on the Colorado, Green, and San Juan Rivers, and continues to row her boat & follow her heart down rivers that inspire her drawing and painting.
Her passionate palette captures the expansion of rims, the movement of rivers. the dance of clouds, the splendor of starlight, and the lighting on canyon walls which have long captivated the minds and souls of many a romantic Westerner.
Serena's artwork may be most recognized from the more than 100 images she has published as notecards from 1983 to 2025 and wall calendars from 2008 to 2024. This 2027 calendar is a comeback through westwaterbooks.com.
Sandstone-inspired sculptures are on display in Serena's yard, in the City of Moab, and along the Colorado River on State Route 128 (mile marker 1). To add an original watercolor, oil or sculpture to your collection, please contact serena@serenasupplee.com or visit her website at: serenasupplee.com
