Utah Art    

By Vern Swanson, Robert Olpin, and William Seifrit - 1991

In 1979, watercolorist Ian M. Ramsay (1948- ) left an architectural practice to devote his talents full-time to painting.  Born in England,
he combines the gentle rustic beauty of the Kent countryside with contemporary rural Utah back roads. Kirk H. Randle (1952- ), of
Bountiful, is also an architectural draftsman who gained recognition during the eighties for his mixed-media landscapes and townscapes.
At the same time, the LeConte Stewart school of landscape painting continued unabated. George W. Handrahan (1949- ), of Layton,
maintained the tradition of Stewart while finding his own personal strength of expression. D. Lynn Cozzens (1955- ), from Stewart’s
hometown of Kaysville, concerned himself with pointillist brushwork and fauvist color.

Artists of Utah

By Robert S Olpin, William C Seifrit, and Vern G Swanson - 1999

Cozzens, (Douglas) Lynn (1955- ), is a very fine painter of landscape in oil on canvas as well as being a skilled ceramist who has studied
with Dorothy Bearnson at the University of Utah. He has been a resident of Centerville, Utah, but now lives in nearby Kaysville. In other
words, the setting is “LeConte Stewart Country.” And the lures for Cozzens are the farmlands, orchards, late summer greens, and
woodland patches found in that Davis County landscape along th foothill of the Wasatch Range. A great-grandson of artist
Orson D. Campbell (q.v.), Cozzens developed a pointillistically inclined color-impressionist style while painting with Stewart (q.v.).
Cozzen’s work has appeared in the Springville Museum’s National April Salons (1985,1986).
