Artist on the Colorado Plateau
Inner Gorge Metaphors
An Artist's Perspective of the Grand Canyon
This book is a collection of 52 color plates of Supplee’s most recent watercolor and oil paintings from the perspective of the Grand Canyon’s Inner Gorge. Each work is framed and expanded through the use of her prose poems, taking us on a journey with the use of brushstrokes and words.
The Colorado River, as the lifeblood of the Grand Canyon, is a personal metaphor for Serena Supplee's life path. Her dazzlingly colorful and energetic paintings illustrate her journey, and perhaps yours – floating through the canyons, encountering obstacles and challenges, experiencing joy and confronting fear, and finding surprises around each bend of the twisting, fluid river of nature and life.

SPLISH SPLASH
Sockdolager! The river drops, gains momentum raw, massive, explosive within sheer schist walls, like love at first sight swells beyond the heart’s capacity. |
HEAVENS TO BEDSY Under a cliff in a narrow section of the canyon, canyon wall framing the night sky, I notice the density of the stars. I discover that there are stars of different size, different distance, points to infinity. It’s more than my mind knows, the depth of the heavens. So I close my eyes and open to vast and far off dreams while my body is cozy in bed. |

When I first tried to paint the Grand Canyon on site I did paintings of one rock, one layer. Later, two layers. Then the river and two layers. My goal was to someday be able to paint all the layers. Now my mind is wide enough to hold the Whole Enchilada. |
