Utah painter/puzzle-maker Eric Dowdle gives back to communities 1 piece at a time via KSLcom
LINDON — When Eric Dowdle visits your town, you might be amazed by what he will learn and create with that knowledge. You may even wonder if you will find yourself in what many are calling the "Where's Waldo" of cities and towns.
Dowdle is the founder and master painter at Dowdle Folk Art Studios in Lindon, and for over 30 years, he has been painting towns and turning them into puzzles. For the past 13 years, however, he has embarked on a project to prepare to celebrate America's 250th birthday in 2026 by painting towns in each of the states. He said he has committed the first year of this celebration to Utah.
The artist explained that the city pays for the puzzle and he makes sure that it is greatly involved in what goes in it. The city is then presented with a 32-by-40-foot puzzle at an unveiling ceremony and then is given an exclusive right to sell the jigsaw puzzles at City Hall, with each town standing to profit financially.
