“This landscape exhibition presents artists who depict the full range of the landscape; the beautiful, whimsical, and or disastrous … These artists' works reflect fragility and, at times, demonstrate the insignificance of human life compared to the power and beauty of nature. In the words of Thomas Cole, ‘We are still in Eden; the wall that shuts us out is our own ignorance and folly.’”
— KellyAnn Monaghan

“These small-scale paintings stem from my love of miniaturization, illusion of space, observation of natural phenomena and a mixing of landscape and natural forms with memory and imagination. Forms are repeated, emphasized, and manipulated to create tension between the imagined and the real world. They may depict an experience of a specific place or situation, and / or be a response to other artworks by other people.” - Laura Von Rosk

“I explore the contradictions of land: how we use it, how we think about it's history, and how it is preserved through National and State parks. Through my paintings, I try to connect with the energy of the land itself in order to reflect a whisper of the people and events which came before.” - Laura Colomb

Blameless As Daylight, 2021.
Acrylic on plastic paper.
20.5 x 25.5 inches (52.07 x 64.77 cm).
“Intrigued by the stability, metaphor, and potential of a horizon, I paint to question the ability of multiple horizons and the barrier between physical and emotional landscapes. The paintings suggest a memory or event that hasn’t happened yet, refusing to indicate when or where we are.” - Morgan Adler
Virginia Wagner
Vinalhaven, 2018.
Ink and oil on canvas.
44 x 56 inches (111.76 x 142.24 cm).
$5,000 Inquire
“My work is focused on the conflict between human progress and the natural world. This tension plays out in the paint, as rigid planes contrast swampy pools and violent spills. I begin with poured ink, which is impossible to control, and speaks to storms, natural growth, and decay. I then use oil paint to develop the human structures that work to tame and organize the composition.”
- Virginia Wagner
