Event: Destinations
Dates: 24 Jun 2023 - 22 Jul 2023
Destinations feature the art of three local artists, Katie Jurkiewicz, Margaret Freedman, and Nathan Katz.
Each art piece is a reflection of destinations from all areas of the globe, both past and present. All of the art in this exhibition is inspired by the beautiful melding of mountains, sea, rocky beaches and tropical and exotic plant life. In addition, it is also inspired by great food, and friendly people, Destinations will transport you to another part of the world.
Think of Destinations as a collection of past life experiences, current realities, and unrealized future concepts that survive and flourish off the tip of each artists' brush.
Where will your mind travel to once you view these paintings?

Biography
All my work begins with sketches of observed landscape. Life is stranger then fiction - I find that I need to keep my work grounded in the quirkiness of reality to keep it from becoming predictable. I then take my drawings from the field, usually black ink on paper, and translate them back in the studio in technicolor. I find this step is key- allowing me to interpret the spirit of the scene rather than dutifully reproducing it.
While I have created landscapes of all types in the past, currently I am most interested in interpreting the natural world and works about renewable energy & environmental causes.
