AKeith depicts the majestic landscape with reverence and awe, his paintings take us away to commune with nature," writes Clint Watson of Informed Collector.  Keith Bond=s exquisite oil paintings exude deep emotion and veneration for the earth. He has a gift of capturing the true essence of the place.  Keith - who spent his youth exploring the remote mountains and canyons near his childhood home in rural Cache Valley, Utah - has a natural ability to see beyond the >picturesque= beauty of a scene.  He can also feel the spirit of the landscape.  He paints this feeling - an emotional response to the scene - rather than painting a literal depiction. 

His work has quickly gained recognition as he has exhibited in numerous invitational, juried and one man shows across the country.  He has received many awards and his work has been included in several publications.  He was featured in Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine, in February of 2006. 

His work can be found in many private and public collections worldwide including museums, corporate offices, government buildings, and religious institutions.  He completed two commissioned murals for the Senate Chamber of the Utah State Capitol Building.  They were unveiled during a gala event and dedication ceremony of the newly renovated Capitol Building in January of 2008.  Most recently, a large scale mural project was installed into the Draper Utah Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The mural, depicting an aspen grove, measures over 11 feet high and nearly 90 feet long as it wraps around the room.

Keith currently lives north of Ft. Collins in rural Wellington, Colorado with his wife and five children.
