About Hadley Rampton:
Having drawn and painted for as long as she can remember, Hadley Rampton graduated from the University of Utah with an Honors BFA in Painting and Drawing in 1999. During her course of university study, she spent a semester in Florence, Italy taking classes in studio art, Renaissance Art History and History of Renaissance Architecture. Rampton began painting professionally immediately after graduation.
Born and raised in Utah, Rampton developed a great love for the outdoors. Not surprisingly, painting en plein air in the mountain and desert landscapes of the Rocky Mountain West and Colorado Plateau became her motus operandi, with aspen trees becoming her favorite subject matter. Her time spent studying abroad ignited a love of exploration and immersion in other cultures, catapulting her practice of traveling to capture her impressions of foreign cities and street scenes in watercolor & ink.
She has been featured in several publications including Plein Air Magazine, Western Art & Architecture, Judsons Plein Air Journal, Artists of Utah’s 15 Bytes Online Publication and Southwest Art Magazine. Rampton’s work can be found in the collections of the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building, SLC, UT, Raymond James Financial, Delta Sky Lounge, The Yellowstone Club, Questar Gas, Aspen Traditional Rehab, and the Law Firms of Preg, O’Donnell & Gillett; Rooker Mohrman, Rawlings & Bailey; Ballard Spahr; and Hutchinson & Steffen.
