About the Artist
Darcy Lee Saxton has been creating art for as long as she can remember. Living a creative life is a priority for her, so she likes to follow where inspiration leads. Darcy is an avid believer in the healing power of art, both in the process and product. When not creating she enjoys guiding others through the magical process of art making. Darcy currently lives and creates amongst the red rocks of Southern Utah, but her roots are in the Pacific Northwest.
Darcy holds a bachelor’s degree in art education and a master’s in curriculum and instruction. Over the past twenty years, she has taught art in a variety of settings in WA, OR, and UT. She currently teaches at and helps manage an art studio in the Kayenta Art Village in Ivins, UT called MakeSpace, homeschools her two delightful children, and upholds her painting practice.
While her pieces are in private collections around the world, many of her paintings can currently be found in the Art Source program at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane, WA.
