Katy Gilmore: Flower Pleasure — July 5-28, 2022
Katy Gilmore is a Northwest artist who now lives on Bainbridge Island. In watercolors and artists’ books, and a series of bookmarks, this show celebrates flowers – those miraculous, beautiful, often taken-for-granted, essentials of our world. The artist writes:
“Recognizing the threat of climate change to flowers and all our fragile world, the paintings and words here are a record of what we stand to lose – the joy, the beauty, the essential. On bad days I fear my endeavors are a record of conditions and events threatened existentially, on good days I believe in the important work to make note and celebrate the miracle of seasons and renewal, the adaptations by critter and plant, the uniqueness of species.”
Exhibit open during Library hours.
Meet the artist on Thursday, July 7 from 3 to 5 pm in the Elisabeth C. Miller Library.
