"I choose subjects other people might overlook, and when I put it into the square of the canvas it becomes something else. It takes on a life of its own."
-- Jared Sanders
Sanders considers himself a regionalist, and travels the winding roads of the West for his inspiration. His masterful handling of paint allows him to portray the subtle grace of a small Utah farmhouse at dawn, a vast Montana pasture in early spring, or a hundred-year-old Colorado barn. His skies are exquisite - luminous yet quietly potent. The artist's reverence for the everyday contemporary West is clearly evident in his work.
Jared Sanders currently lives near the small town of Heber, Utah, and paints the enduring forms of farmlands, hills, rivers, and trees that he intimately knows and loves. His moody, tonalist western landscapes have given way in recent years to iconic barn paintings. "To me, barns are simply a great visual gift that someone built and left on the landscape for me to use in my work," Sanders says.
