Between
A two-person exhibition featuring Bonnie Baird and Kathryn Milillo
“Landscape painting has never been solely about the landscape.
Between brings together the work of Vermont painters Bonnie Baird and Kathryn Milillo, two artists whose paintings emerge from remarkably different visual languages while sharing a common pursuit. Kathryn Milillo distills the ordinary into something quietly extraordinary. Barns, neighborhoods, fields, and roadside moments are pared down into thoughtful arrangements of shape, color, and light. Bonnie Baird approaches the landscape from within, her paintings are guided as much by feeling as by her relationship with the land. The result is less a depiction of place than an intuitive translation of the emotional resonance a place leaves within us. Though distinct in palette, process, and gesture, Baird and Milillo arrive at a shared understanding: every landscape is, in some way, a self-portrait. The places we return to, the colors we remember, and the moments we choose to preserve reveal as much about the observer as the scene itself.
On Saturday, August 29th, from 4:00 – 6:00pm, we will open this exhibition with an Artist Conversation and Reception followed by an open floor for questions and discussions. Guest poets, Mary Elder Jacobsen and Rebecca McMeekin, will accompany the discussion with spoken poetry. Please join us as we celebrate the work of these two Vermont landscape painters.
