Fine Art Show

This year we are honoring artist Darin J. Ashby for his lifetime achievement and his significant works of art. Ashby was born in 1967 and raised in Orem, Utah. Inspired by many artists both new and old, and simply by a love of the arts, Darin has been ­drawing and painting since he was old enough to hold anything that would make a mark. He studied drawing and illustration at UVSC and later printmaking and drawing at Brigham Young University.

Over the course of 19 years, Darin has been trained in the classical academic style of the masters by one of the last classically trained Italian master artists. Darin has been able to recreate many Renaissance masters’ paintings in amazing detail and in the same methods used by those masters. He has now transitioned this knowledge into his original paintings as well as in his teaching of the craft that truly reflects the classical beauty and skill. Among other accolades, Darin is an 8-time Best of State® Utah winner. Darin currently resides, draws, paints, and teaches in South Jordan, Utah, with his wife Alisa and four amazing girls—his greatest inspirations yet.

Come see Darin’s incredible ­paintings—along with works of dozens of other artists—at the annual Fine Arts Show, inside the beautiful historic Utah County Courthouse. You won’t regret taking a break from the heat and being inspired. Many pieces of art will be available to purchase, and artists available to meet!
