Dare Mighty Things

Utah State University, Logan, 2025

A 15-painting installation completed in 2025 for the Kem and Carolyn Gardner Learning & Leadership Building at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, selected through a competitive public art commission process.

The work spans three locations within the building — the Learning Stair (7 panels), the Café (5 panels), and the Elevator Corridor (3 panels) — depicting the mountain landscapes surrounding Logan, including the Crimson Trail and Providence Canyon. The largest panel, Dare Mighty Things, measures 25 feet in length. The palette uses bold, high-chroma color to evoke the seasons and the phases of any ambitious undertaking, inviting students and faculty to consider the landscapes they are navigating in their own lives.

Installed permanently in the Gardner Learning & Leadership Building at Utah State University.
