Dear Esteemed Readers,
As spring breathes new life into our landscapes, we are delighted to welcome you to this special art-focused issue of St. George Life+Style. This season, we celebrate not only the beauty of renewal but also the boundless creativity that colors our community. Through these stories and more, we honor the artists who shape the soul of our region, bringing color, emotion, and meaning to our everyday lives.
As spring settles into Southern Utah and the desert blooms with warmth and color, the city of St. George prepares to welcome one of its most time-honored and beloved traditions.
Now in its 46th year, the St. George Art Festival returns to Historic Town Square on April 18 and 19, transforming the city’s heart into a lively and colorful celebration of creativity, culture, and community.
In a world brimming with noise, there are rare moments when art speaks in silence—through color, texture, and emotion. Such is the work of Liza Compass, a self-taught, award-winning artist whose creative vision defies convention and dances in the space between reality and reverie.
Liza’s medium is bold, weaving colored pencils and ink in ways that can appear deceptively simple. But every painting becomes a vessel for transporting the viewer into a world that is uniquely other.
