De Natura Libris
Álvaro Alejandro López
The photographic series De Natura Libris portrays the interactions we have with books: physical and abstract. The corporeity of a book is recorded through its structures, textures, forms and signs of use. Experiences are ultimately individual, evoked by any number of attributes: the content of a book, its textures and smells, the memories it awakens, or simply the aesthetic beauty of its parts.
Álvaro Alejandro López is a photographer based in Mexico City. His work has been presented in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Spain, Belgium, Iceland, Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands.

Sierra McGuire Art
Sierra McGuire is a local watercolor artist living in Southern Utah.
“My artwork is a reflection of how I see nature. Painting it feels like an extension of my soul. My goal is to help my viewers experience the peace and serenity that I feel as I experience nature myself. I take my sketch book out with me as I’m hiking in red rocks, rocking my babies on my back porch, or backpacking the Andes. Each painting speaks loudly. I paint wildflowers for their song of beauty, I paint mountains to show strength, I paint trees for their calmness in growth, and I paint skies to express the endless possibilities the world has to offer us. To me nature is the ultimate healer and teacher. I hope my painting can give you that same feeling when you display it in your home.”
