Gallery Moab, an artist-owned and operated cooperative gallery, is dedicated to supporting local artists and building community through the arts. We feature original art and hand-made crafts, all created by local artists with deep connections to our unique landscape.
Utah is gifted with some of the finest dark skies in the world, with a high concentration of national and state parks and certified International Dark Sky Parks and Communities. Our canyon country landscape, spectacular by day, is a whole different world, equally stunning, by night. In December we feature the night photography of Robert McKendrick to celebrate the awe-inspiring beauty that spreads through the sky once the sun goes down.
McKendrick describes himself as “a passionate nightscape photographer whose work captures the tranquil beauty of the natural world after sunset.” Featured in the eBook “Milky Way NightScapes,” by Royce Bair, he brings a unique sensitivity to his art, using light to reveal hidden landscapes under the night sky. His dedication to night photography allows him to slow down, embrace stillness, and connect deeply with the landscapes he captures. McKendrick says that photography is more than just an art form; it’s a way to truly see and appreciate the world, honoring the quiet grandeur of nature.
Currently, McKendrick’s work is displayed in Gallery Moab, where he shares his love for the night with a broader audience. This recognition in Moab—a gateway to some of the most breathtaking desert landscapes—holds special meaning for him. Each photograph in his collection reflects his profound appreciation for nature’s silence, untouched beauty, and timelessness, inviting viewers to step into the peaceful moments that often go unseen.
All are invited to a reception Thursday, December 12, 4 – 7 p.m. to meet McKendrick and learn more about the equipment and techniques he has developed for capturing the awesome beauty of the night sky. Enjoy refreshments, and mingle with local artists and art lovers.
