In Conversation: Artist Talk with Basia Krol

Please join me in the gallery this Saturday, June 11, 3-5pm for an informal conversation with the artist about her painting process and current show, "Wildering". Come early to peruse the show - we open at noon Friday and Saturday! Free to enjoy. The exhibition is on view through June 18.

For artist Basia Krol, Wildering describes a re-awakening of self-identity through active observation of nature. Painted largely during the pandemic, Krol finds a grounding connection in the landscape of Central Illinois. Krol?s joyous sense of discovery is palpable in expressive landscape paintings that invite us to share a journey toward personal freedom and spiritual renewal.

Just TWO more weeks to see this exhibition! Get in touch if you would like to schedule a visit outside of regular gallery hours. 24 hours (minimum) advance notice is appreciated.
