The Waterworks Visual Arts Center 2008-09 exhibition season opens with a focus on landscape. As our communities have become ever more separated from the earth that sustains us, the subject of landscape has been a vital window connecting us to the world of nature. However, artists represent the landscape from a variety of perspectives. Seven artists from the Plein Air Carolina outdoor painting society are featured in Plein Air Carolina 2008. The power of the individual becomes obvious as each of these distinguished area artists presents an unobstructed, yet different kind of nature in their respective works.
Kathleen Burke
In Place: Memory and Movement features the paintings of artists Kathleen Burke and Michael Simpson. While Burke's work sees the landscape through a quiet, personal lens, Simpson represents the dynamic flow of water as he places the viewer in the middle of a rushing stream.
Jeremiah Miller
Jonas Howard and Jeremiah Miller are featured in a two-person exhibition, Earth and Sky. Howard's broad, clear views of beaches and bays are in sharp contrast to Miller's painterly eye in the midst of his multi-colored forest.
