Jean Kigel Gallery
Walking with Trees
Jean Kigel Gallery will present the exhibit “Walking with Trees” during the first two weeks of July at 1396 Back Cove Road in Waldoboro. Her signature piece, “Wildlife Preserve at Martin Point” is one of her three paintings, recently selected for the Art in Embassies Program of the U.S. Department of State for exhibit in in Amman, Jordan. In this painting, Kigel captures sunlight bouncing from a maze of textured trunks and branches.
In
other paintings, she focuses on rhythmic, backlit trees. And
sometimes she uses the motif of a single pine clinging to the coast or reigning
over a barren.
Of her walks in local preserves during this Covid time Kigel says, “From trees,
I’ve learned stability, compassion and character. And from
Wohllenben’s book, ‘The Hidden Life of Trees’, I’ve learned the importance of
looking beneath the surface of things.”
A member of the Sumi-e Society of America, and the Union of Maine Visual
Artists, Kigel has exhibited in the East Coast, the Middle East, and France.
This
show can be seen in person at her new gallery and on line at www.jeankigel.com. The
gallery is open daily by chance or by appointment. FMI
