    Born in Utah in the late 1940's, R. Geoffrey Blackburn has been drawing and painting since he was a child. Although he studied art both privately and at the University of Utah, he is mostly self-taught. He began his professional art career in 1970 and has created art, taught art and worked in various art-related fields his entire professional life. 'I have always been fascinated by the incredible diversity and often unearthly beauty of western landscapes. I have crawled over the mountains and deserts staking mining claims and prospecting for gold, silver and uranium. I have also been a ski racer and a ski instructor and so I am enamored with both alpine and desert landscapes in all seasons. Some of my earliest paintings were of lakes and mountains, prospectors, cowboys and skiers (the latter, usually rendered in electric colors). But when I first visited Moab, Canyonlands and Arches (in Utah), I was truly smitten! The geological marvels I encountered there just blew me away! I could have been on another planet! While my friends were wearing suits hunkered down in offices, I was lucky enough to spend more than a decade prospecting and exploring in Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Wyoming and Idaho.' - R. Geoffrey Blackburn
