Fidalis Buehler
For painter and BYU professor Fidalis Buehler, art is a quest to know thyself.
Many of Fidalis Buehler’s paintings feature the image of a wanderer, personified as a stray dog. A child of parents from Wisconsin and the Gilbert Islands, Fidalis never felt like he fit in either group — but in the arts, he saw an avenue for exploration. For Fidalis, art is a quest to know thyself. Now a professor at BYU, Fidalis teaches students to harness the nuances of their own identities.
