Moab artist Kathy Cooney was the 2011 Community Artist in the Parks. Kathy's watercolor paintings reveal her deep love of canyon country's desert landscapes and the timeless heritage of the Four Corners area.

A resident of Moab since 1987, Kathy "realized that the rocks, mountains, water and trees are not separate entities, but are all connected to the same heart of the scene." Her work is exhibited in several local shops and on her online gallery.

Common Raven

The common raven displays abilities to play and problem-solve that are rare among animals. This member of the crow family is also very vocal, communicating with over a dozen sounds. Perhaps because of these qualities, ravens have achieved a certain stature in both European and Native American folklore.
