Kennebunk to Ketchum:
|
|
|
I have been fascinated by the beauty and intricacies of the natural world for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Kennebunk, Maine, some of my earliest memories include peering into tide pools on the beach and exploring the woods and wetlands near my home. In recent years, when I travel, I collect images of the places and scenery that resonate with my soul. My journeys include frequent trips back to Maine and explorations as close as my own back yard to as far away as the northwestern U.S. "Kennebunk to Ketchum" celebrates these places featuring works of favorite locations in Kennebunk, new discoveries in Ketchum, Idaho, and more.

Arches Gallery, Workhouse Arts Center
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 11
"Her Story" celebrated women's history month and women's suffrage which became law in 1920 in the U.S. What an appropriate theme for our group show in Arches Gallery because the Prison History Museum is our neighbor in building W-9. After viewing our art exhibition, stop by the Prison History Museum and learn about the suffragettes who were imprisoned in the Workhouse Prison at the turn of the 20th century, one hundred years ago.

Detail, "Inundated", acrylic, 2013.
Inundated (Intertidal, 8) has received the top award for oil or acrylic painting this month, the Chameli & Amiya Bose Award. The painting is on view in the front of the Art League Gallery until September 2, 2013.
Juror Elizabeth Klimek selected my work for this reason:
Inundated (Intertidal 8), an acrylic painting by Kathleen Best Gillmann, won the Chameli & Amiya Bose Award for Acrylic or Oil Painting. Klimek cited the composition as the reason: the actual landscape portion is so minimal, with a huge sky and lines drawing the eye across the painting.

Intertidal : Coastal Paintings
Ms. Gillmann's latest paintings of coastal Maine explore her fascination with the mercurial qualities of water and atmosphere affected by the moody, changeable weather characteristic of New England. Salt marshes, estuaries and beaches are influenced by this weather and the daily cleansing of the tides. These subtle and dramatic features of the intertidal zone will be featured in Ms. Gillmann's exhibit.
Ms. Gillmann grew up in southern Maine and matured with a love of nature and the outdoors which is evident in her landscapes and waterscapes. The show runs July 3 - August 4 with the opening reception 6:00-9:00p.m. July 13.
