Jordan Daines has been devoted to the discipline of art from a young age winning both a Congressional Art Award and being named the National Art Education Association Student of the Year. She gained scholarship and graduated from the Caine College of the Arts and subsequently studied under Masri Haysaam in Florence Italy. Her work has been included in many group and solo shows, is currently held in VIP private collections and has appeared in multiple film and television productions including "Big Little Lies" and "Two Broke Girls." She currently resides in Midway UT.

Her varied work focuses on the relationship between color and texture which are applied, extracted and manipulated in a thick painterly style. As a master with a pallette knife, this gives her work a distinctive effect of relief from the canvas adding a three dimensional quality to her paintings. The subjects of her work range from pop representation of mundane everyday items such as textiles, meat, sandwiches, hot dogs, lips, etc?. to abstracts where nothing more than color, texture and mood are the elements of her experimentation.

Chantry Brewer is an oil painter raised by artist parents in the white mountains of Arizona. Chantry graduated with a bachelors degree in fine art from Utah State University. He and his wife Abby now call Heber Valley home. Chantry and Abby met playing Words With Friends online and become fast friends and now partners in all they do. A renewed support of his love of art and the sudden loss of vision in his left eye motivated Chantry to pick up his paintbrush again after many years away from painting. Chantry loves painting Mount Timpanogos, Provo River, other local landscapes and wildlife. Chantry also paints abstract florals in his own modern style. Chantry loves when viewers relate to the abstract forms and energetic brushstrokes of a painting and then connect emotionally with his art.

Lana was born twenty miles from the Russian border in in Kharkiv, Ukraine, where her father was serving in the USSR military as a medical doctor. Over the next fourteen years she lived in Siberia, and other challenging locations due to her father's occupation. After returning to Ukraine and finishing middle school Lana was able to pursue her artistic passion at Art College and Art and Design Academia in Kharkiv. She received her credentials as an art teacher and a later master's degree in Art and Advertising. She will finish her doctorate as an art critic in December. Lana developed an art focused preschool/kindergarten program that was thriving in Kharkiv before the start of the war.

On February 24th at 5am Alex, Lana and their four children were forced to leave their home in Kharkiv, Ukraine when three rockets landed very near their home, one shook all the pictures off their wall. Wearing pajamas, they piled the kids in their car and drove 30 hours to get to Kremchuk, a trip that would normally take 1 ½ hours. Over the next 5 days they continued to flee to the west of Ukraine, normally a 15-hour journey. Following three months in Hungry and Italy they arrived in Utah on Memorial Day as part of the United with Ukraine humanitarian program.

"My Mountain Dream"*

"In eastern Ukraine where I grew up there aren't any mountains, just a few rolling hills. As a little girl I remember seeing pictures of and hearing people talk about visiting the Carpathian mountains. They looked big and magical, like a fairytale. It was my dream to see them someday, but my family did not have the means to travel all the way across the country to see them. When I left Ukraine in 2015 and came to Utah, I cried at how huge and beautiful and close the mountains are here. While I love looking at their beauty, they always remind me of my childhood dream of seeing the mountains I first fell in love with. I painted "My Mountain Dream" as a hopeful promise that there will be a path through the flowers that leads me back to that dream."

Utah Rafting Desolation Canyon 5 Day trip from Western River Expeditions

A spectacular scenic flight from Moab, Utah lands you atop a dramatic desert plateau where you'll begin rafting Desolation Canyon on the Green River. You'll surrender your senses to nature as you're enveloped by 40 million years of geologic history. Winding through a remarkable wilderness of twisted mountains, dramatic cliffs, and towering plateaus carved by an ancient inland sea, Utah's hidden Desolation Canyon rafting trip is a magnificent journey for the ages.

Explore Utah's famous outlaw hideouts, ancient dinosaur habitats, and Fremont Native American petroglyphs. More moderate rapids on this section of the Green River allow you to experience paddling a 2-person inflatable kayak or relax in an oar boat while Western's guides take you down river. Comfortable summer water temperatures and over 60 fun-filled rapids make this Desolation Canyon rafting trip the ideal getaway for your next adventure.

Why Choose Desolation Canyon Rafting?
Desolation Canyon rafting is ideal for families with younger kids (ages 5+). We see parents and grandparents with their kiddos enjoying milder rapids and camping on broad beaches (especially later in the season). Spectacular canyon scenery surrounds five days of uninterrupted time spent with the ones you love the most. Rafting Desolation Canyon on the Green River is a natural for family bonding time.
