In Ann Kraus’s new exhibition of paintings at David M. Hunt Library, vibrant skyscapes capture the feelings evoked by a specific time and place, constantly evolving as they are buffeted by the wind, adding drama and clarity to our world at sunrise and sunset. The artist said of her paintings, "While some may be serene, others may be electrifying and chaotic."
A reception for the artist will take place on Sat May 3, 5-7PM. In addition, Kraus will host an Art Talk on Thursday, May 22, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear directly from the artist about her inspirations, techniques, and the thought-provoking themes behind her collection.
I Collect Clouds will be on display from May 2 through May 30,
