Delwin Oliver Parson

(Ogden, Utah , 1948 - )

Del Oliver Parson of Cedar City, Utah, is a traditional realist oil painter and pastellist (figurative, landscape, and genre subjects) who was associated early as artist-in-residence with Gladdenfields Gallery and Artist Co-op in Salt Lake City. A son of fellow painter Oliver Parson, he attended Ricks College in Idaho and then graduated from Brigham Young University (B.A., 1972; M.F.A., drawing and painting, 1975). Parson received the Outstanding Young Alumni Award from Ricks College in 1991 and the George Phippen Memorial Award in Prescott, Arizona, as well as awards in Utah (Springville, Salt Lake City, St. George), Wyoming, Idaho, and New York. His work has been featured in one-man shows at Dixie College, St. George, BYU, Ricks College, the Las Vegas Art Museum, the James M. Haney Art Gallery in Amarillo, Texas, and in a special family show at the St. George Art Museum in 1998 that included his father and siblings. Parson's work has also been exhibited in New York City at three different annual shows—the Allied Artists of America at the National Academy of Design, the American Artists Professional League, and the Knickerbocher Artist, where he won the Salmagundi Club Award—and also appears in several publications, including LDS Church magazines, Contemporary Western Artists, and All Things Testify of Him (1998). Currently, he is an associate professor of art at Dixie College in St. George, Utah. (b. June 10)
