Well known artist and revered teacher Lester has moved out of Davis County but will be back to teach two Saturday workshops at BDAC.

Sarah Maynard recently graduated with a BFA in painting and drawing from Utah State University where she had the opportunity to attend a study abroad program in Germany. In her short career as an artist, she has exhibited her work extensively across Utah. Sarah is a gifted artist, most notably through her ability to use color in her work.
Mike Call has a BFA in sculpture from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Art and has won many awards over the last 10 years including First Place Walter Hancock Prize from the National Sculpture Society. His work is well known and can be found in several permanent collections. He has worked with Ed Fraughton and other notable Sculptors in Utah.
Diane Turner – in her own words: “It’s hard to believe I have taught for over 25 years at Bountiful/Davis Art Center. I have learned my skill from masters, Tony Rasmussen, LeConte Stewart and many others. I feel an obligation to pass this knowledge on to others, that it might add the joy to their lives that I have experienced. I have found that our class work has enabled others to escape for a moment from the distraction of life and see the beauty that is all around us. This is a great honor for me to have had this opportunity in my life.”
This was quoted from Diane Turner when she received the Inaugural Foundation Award in Education at Bountiful/Davis Art Center in 2009 at the Annual Meeting. In her humility she may scoff at this but BDAC considers her a ‘Living Legend’. We are honored that she teaches at Bountiful/Davis Art Center
Lester B. Lee has also been a treasured teacher at BDAC for many years where has served as Chair of the Board of Trustees. He was educated at UNLV, USU, BYU Idaho, and BYU where he earned an MFA. He has received national awards for art and teaching including the prestigious Huntsman Secondary Teacher of the Year award. He is recognized for his cover art for the Work and the Glory series, sells prints worldwide and is widely collected in Davis County, Utah and beyond. The list of young artists he has mentored is long, some of them becoming well –known artists due to his influence. Lester recently retired from teaching in Davis County and moved with his family to Cache County. He is greatly missed and we are thrilled that he will be back to teach two workshops at BDAC.
Connie Day , 500 HR Registered Yoga Teacher, began her yogic journey in 2002 in SLC as a stress relief from her corporate job and active lifestyle. She noticed immediate benefits to the mind, body and spirit. In 2006 she moved to NYC where she completed 500 HR (Yoga Alliance) training with Jean Koerner and Alan Finger in the ISHTA style (Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda). With gratitude to her teachers, she now shares the abundance of yoga through teaching classes to adults, children, special needs and at risk youth. Her classes bring attention to breathe, movement and alignment; deepening the internal journey to freedom.
