About Midway Art Association Gallery

 Pamela was born in a small town in Pennsylvania. She started painting murals at the age of 10 when her mother consented to let her paint on the walls of her bedroom. Pamela has painted murals for the Heber City Police Department Justice Building, Midway City Town Hall, Rocky Mountain Middle School, Heber Valley Railroad, Wasatch High School, Soldier Hollow Charter School, along with many other businesses and private homes in Wasatch and Summit counties. Animals are her favorite subject, and she paints pet portraits regularly. She also loves portraiture and landscapes. Working with Linda Curley’s team on temple murals has been an incredible blessing. Pamela has 4 children and 7 grandchildren. She currently resides in the beautiful mountains above Midway, Utah with John, her eternal companion.

 Günther emigrated with his family from Austria as a child and grew up drawing and painting. He studied illustration and advertising design at Utah State University and spent 27 years as a designer and art director. Günther left full time employment in 2015 to pursue his passion for painting. He says, “Being Austrian, I am haunted by the ethereal, dreamlike quality of light in the moisture-laden European atmosphere. I strive to express that longing in every image I create, and hope that the viewer will feel my vision. Art is all about passion, and this is mine." Günther has won numerous awards for his work both locally and nationally, and his work hangs in collections in the United States and in Europe. He is a member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), American Impressionist Society (AIS), president of the Utah Watercolor Society, vice president of the Intermountain Society of Artists, and Board member of the Midway Art Association. He makes his home in Alpine, Utah.” 

Keersten is passionate about her family, finding beauty in small moments, and sharing it through her paintings. She has taught art to all ages, with a special focus on children, for over 25 years. In 2019, She began a full-time apprenticeship with Jeff Hein, honing her skills in traditional practices, primarily in charcoal and oil. Keersten enjoys plein air painting, still life, and portraiture. She hopes her paintings evoke memories of sun-drenched afternoons or hollyhocks from childhood, inspiring others to savor life's simple beauties.

 Linda grew up in the Hudson Valley in New York State where she was exposed to an art environment influenced by her parents. Her love of art and design grew, and she graduated from Cornell University’s School of Design and Environmental Analysis and had a full and exciting career for 35 years in both private and government industry designing commercial products, interiors, and human factors analysis. Retiring in 2013, she and her husband moved to Utah and the beautiful Wasatch Back Mountains where they enjoy skiing, hiking, fishing, camping, traveling, and plein air. 

She enjoys all art forms, painting in watercolor, acrylics, oils, and continuously seeks to both refine and explore new art expression. She is so grateful for everything in life and all the wonderful people, places, and adventures. She lives by some wonderful thoughts, “Take in everything around you, use all your senses and see the colors, smell, listen, and close your eyes and feel your world, never take anything for granted and always look forward to what is next, reach of the stars!” 

Megan Rieker grew up in Maryland in a family of 8. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in general fine arts and a master’s degree in teaching art from Maryland Institute, College of Art.  Through the military her family has

been stationed in Upstate NY, Germany, Italy, Korea, Colorado Springs CO, Goodyear AZ, Washington DC and moved to Pleasant Grove Utah in 2022.

Megan enjoys painting landscapes as a release from the studio and portraiture. There is something about the beauty of nature that heals and calms the soul. Her paintings have been featured in museums across the country, magazines, videos and book covers. She is now working on paintings from her recent trip to Europe as well as mosaics of some of her recent works using Italian Smalti.

 Noemi is a landscape painter, living in Roy, UT. She taught elementary school for over 15 years and is now blessed to be focusing on her family and art career. Most of her work depicts local Utah landscapes. Noemi was raised in Utah since she was 6 years old. As a young newlywed, she moved to Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, where her husband was stationed. It was then that she took her first painting classes and fell in love with painting. It was also during this time that she really started to appreciate the beauty of nature and longed to see the beautiful Rockies again. Although she enjoys painting a variety of subjects, her favorite things to explore and paint are still mountains. She is also currently working on a series of nativity and Christmas pieces to display in the gallery. More about Noemi can be found at www.noemiroblesart.com 

 Kat is a Utah native who loves art and interior design.  All of Kat's pieces are painted with a desire to create a unique, meaningful, and artistic home or space.   Kat received her bachelor’s in art from BYU-Hawaii where she studied for 5 years focusing on many art forms, but mainly sculpture, ceramics, and pottery.  The last 5 years living in her cabin in Midway, Kat was inspired to paint more by all the beautiful wild animals, plants, and flowers she could see and experience right out her front door.  Kat loves Christian art and has especially enjoyed painting locations from the life of Christ.  Kat also loves to paint the mountains of the Wasatch and desert scenes of southern Utah inspired by her time spent skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and mountain biking.
