The land, the sea, the sky

Main Gallery - July

The Land, The Sea, The Sky

This July in our Director’s Gallery, we’ll host a solo display titled The Land, the Sea, the Sky by Fran Kohlmeier for the month of July. This exhibition will feature paintings and landscapes highlighting Kohlmeier’s practice with waterfront horizons as a water media artist. Fran Kohlmeier loves to discover beauty in both the ordinary and the extraordinary, drawing inspiration from landscapes, abstract shapes, and collage. Her coastal landscapes begin with a wash of vermillion or raw sienna. With the landscape emerging, this allows the underpainting to peek through and enrich the subsequent colors. Kohlmeier hopes this show can highlight sensory awareness using by color & light, allowing the viewer to activate their own senses and respond in their own way. She has retired twice, first as an Arts Copyright Specialist at the Library of Congress, Washington, DC, then as a Teaching Asst. at Charlotte Latin School (NC). Kohlmeier has a B.A in Art Education, and has taught art workshops for over 28 years.
​ Meet Fran at Artwalk on July 10th, and ask her about her exhibition, full display, and more
