I grew up in Utah nestled beneath the Wasatch mountains. While beautiful, I am not built for the months of dreadful cold and snow! Better to visit for a week or so in December and get my fill and then head back to my sunny Arizona. You know what they say: you don't have to shovel sunshine! πŸ˜‰ 8x10 oil on gesso board; completed in 2024.

Millcreek Canyon in northern Utah today. About 70˚ F (21˚ C) so lots of melting snow.

Make your voice heard and help stop the 1.4 billion dollar, world's largest gondola from wrecking all sorts of wildlife habitats AND costing users more money than much less environmentally impactful bus systems. It is being proposed to the Wasatch Front Regional Council TOMORROW 1/26 at 2pm

And realized I did not provide an #introduction. I am a professor and chair of #phamacolgy and #toxicology at the #Universityofutah where I study #epilepsy. I focus on therapy development and the role of #glia in #neuronal hyperexcitability. I lean very much to the #left. I support the #LGBTQ community and my family members. I adopt dogs from shelters. #BLM. I #hike the #wasatchmountains for peace and quiet and especially love the #desert and #oregonbeaches.
How beautiful is the view from my desk right now!😍
