April Artist-in-Residence

Robert Starkey​​​​​

​​

April Artist-in Residence artist Robert Starkey is a painter inspired by nature. The landscape has always provided the platform for his visual investigations. During the month Robert will  be in the gallery using oils, watercolors and graphite to develop his compositions. The primary focus will be to create a body of images that are inspired from his garden. A search for beauty within the textured patterns, colors and organic forms and a dive into the “calm” of the natural private chaos as a visual counter to the worldly political chaos.  

   

When the flag flutters, the door is open.
