Long-time Stremmel gallery artist and nationally renowned landscape artist died in a rollover car accident on October 20th in Southern Utah. Snow was a former art professor and chairman of the University of Utah’s Art Department for over thirty years, before retiring to painting full time at his studio near Teasdale, in Southern Utah. He is best known for his dramatic paintings of the peaks and mesas of Capitol Reef National Park and Boulder Mountain – he particularly loved to paint the enormous rock formation called the Cockscomb, which was visible from his studio. Snow loved art, opera his students at the University of Utah and beautiful things, including conversations, architecture, women, his wife and children. Stremmel Gallery represented Snow almost exclusively for over twenty-five years, and featured his work in several one-man exhibitions over that period. He was a remarkable artist, a true Renaissance Man, and a wonderful friend to all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be missed, but never forgotten.
