We recently partnered with the crazy talented @sam We recently partnered with the crazy talented @samanthazim.art to create these beautiful paintings of Grand Staircase-Escalante. Samantha got to go down to the monument and stay at @bouldermountainlodgeutah to sketch these pieces while out on the land.

The idea behind this project was to bring the beauty of the land to offices in DC. These prints were dropped on The Hill last week to House reps to inspire them to VOTE NO on the joint resolutions that attack the monument plan for Grand Staircase-Escalante.

America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act, which would protect more than 8 million acres of federal public land in Utah, is sponsored by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Representative Melanie Stansbury (D-NM-01); so far this Congress it has 18 cosponsors in the Senate and 65 in the House.
