The exquisitely serene and stunning images of Rockland printmaker Kathleen Buchanan will grace the walls of Kerr+Jones Gallery in East Boothbay during the month of August. The public is invited to a reception in her honor on Wednesday, August 13, from 5 to 7 pm.
Buchanan’s themes evoke a sense of place and memory. Among her titles are Island Summer, Quiet Atlantic and Across the Cove. Living on the coast of Maine, she has access to a dynamic landscape that shifts endlessly through tides, storm cycles and seasons. Her prints begin with paper collages then color is built one layer at a time by multiple passes through her press..
In her words~
“I am inspired by the beauty of this corner of the world. My goal is to create images to connect people to the natural world and to remind the viewer that we exist within community. In our contemporary culture, we are easily separated from the rhythms and resources that nurture us. It is my hope that my work will help to ground the viewer in their sense of place and belonging.”
