Fredrick Stephens draws inspiration for his fiery landscapes from the same area that has moved so many other artists to paint: Central Utah. Drawing and painting have been a part of Stephens' life for as long as he can remember. As he says, "I spent most of my teenage summers working on a nearby dairy farm and herding cows. That environment, the way the light colors the land, enthralled me from minute to minute. The always changing landscape is the inspiration behind my paintings."
