a regular gallery artist, but we will be highlighting his
work during the month of August.
About Gary Fenske
Gary Fenske is well known around the world as the
pioneer of luminism. His invisible, or “Night Visions"®
art is mysterious. On what appears to be a blank white
canvas, his fine art paintings hide, until illuminated,
waiting to surprise the unsuspecting viewer.
Fenske first encountered luminous fine art in 1958.
It filled him with amazement and changed his life corey baumgartner
forever. It’s still a thrill when he sees others experience Utah Shakespeare Festival performers set the stage at the Green Show. The festival continues through the
luminism for the first time. coming months with various plays and activities.
A well-known gallery figure in Japan, he was the
first American artist to show his work at the Nagoya
Shogun Castle. Additionally, his work is found in
collections world-wide.

» 10 Tips for Healthy
Family Road Trips

ummer time is a great time for
road trips. In Utah, there are
many wide, vast stretches of
highway between destinations, and
most stops are at gas stations and tourist
attractions that are known to stock
sugary drinks, candies, sweets and salty
snacks. It’s not always easy to eat healthy
foods while on the road, or any vacation
for that matter, but it can be done.
Consider these tips.
1. Pack a small cooler with easy-
to-eat healthy snacks such as:

» String cheese and whole-grain
crackers
» Pre-packaged yogurt tubes
» Trail mix and dried fruit
» Hummus and pre-cut veggies, like
carrots, radishes, snap peas and bell
peppers.
» Celery and small individual-sized con-
tainers of peanut butter (check the peanut
butter aisle for the small 1-2 tablespoon
packages); pretzels also can be dipped in
peanut butter for an easy snack
