Wed, March 10 – Tellus/Caelus: Seeing Earth and Sky

Join us for an artist talk with our March exhibiting artist, Anne Marchand, as she talks about her current exhibition, Tellus/Caelus: Seeing Earth and Sky. Anne Marchand’s solo exhibition showcased in the historic Whittemore House features twenty recent paintings, marking a new level in the artist’s stylistic evolution over the last ten years. Now, at the beginning of 2021, the paintings selected for this exhibit are expressions of the artist’s heartfelt connection to her understanding of the unity of creation. Full of brilliant color and gesture, with dense surfaces layered with acrylic, ink, charcoal and other media, these paintings can provide the willing viewer with a sense of the way that having that “whole earth” perspective can be both individually and universally transformative, leading toward a more peaceful and just world for all. Learn more about the exhibit on our “Museum & Gallery” page.
