About the Artist:
Bill Cramer is one of the 26 artists participating in the 8th annual Grand Canyon Celebration of Art. The plein air event at the South Rim and in the Canyon takes place September 10-17, 2016 with the exhibit and sale of their work at Kolb Studio opening on September 18 and continuing through January 16, 2017. Proceeds from this event support the goal of funding a permanent art venue at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
 
This Arizona artist explains the inspiration for this painting: “I was seduced again by the sun’s last rays coming to rest on the temples and ridges of the Grand Canyon. It’s a temporary phenomenon, but so too are the clouds, the trees, and in the depths of time, the canyon itself – each one ephemeral through processes both fleeting and ancient.”
