"My primary goal for my painting is to convey the rich and varied natural landscapes of Arizona, although the ocean, both Pacific and Atlantic, exerts a strong pull on me and sometimes appears in my painting.  I grew up in the Arizona desert and earned my BA and MA from the University of Arizona at Tucson.  My studies there centered on literature, music, and art.  I disliked the heat and dust of the desert when I was young, but now I've come to appreciate its refined lines and multi-layered colors. 



"My preference as a child was for eastern Arizona's sub-alpine forests, where my family vacationed.  My husband and I still have a cabin in Greer, Arizona, and even now I love the evergreens and streams and summer rain there best.

"After twelve years in San Diego (which we also loved), my husband and I returned to Arizona and located in Prescott.  The mix of red rocks and pinons along with desert and forest in this area has added another dimension to my appreciation of Arizona landscapes.  I hope eventually to find the time and skill to portray all of the many and beautiful faces of my native state.

"I have been influenced in my painting by lifelong friend and batik artist Barbara Martin and recently by the beautiful painting and inspired teaching of Eric Slayton, Doug Oliver, David Haskell and Bonny Casey and by Wanda Zolman's undaunted devotion to her art.

"My paintings of both Arizona and the Pacific Coast can be found in private collections in Monterey, San Diego, Reno, and Arizona.  My work can be viewed at Mountain Artists Gallery and at www.FineArtsAZ.com. My work has previously been shown at La Fuente Gallery of Sedona, AZ, Hudgens Fine Art of Flagstaff, AZ, Desert Feather Gallery of Wickenburg, AZ and Natural Accents Gallery of Prescott, AZ and Taos, NM."

Prints of Alice Gunter's work can also be found on  Fine Art America.
