“Arte Natura” at Limner Gallery
Posted by Kathleen Benton on May 2, 2011
Arte Natura – Works Inspired by The Natural World
Limner Gallery, Hudson, NY, May 5 – 28, 2011
My painting is included in Limner Gallery’s exhibition Arte Natura during the month of May. The artwork included in the show covers a wide range of subject matter and approaches in consideration of the natural world.
Limner Gallery is located in Hudson, NY, a quaint town on the Hudson River whose most famous former resident is the great painter Frederick Church. With lots of scenic river views, Olana, Church’s marvelous home on the Hudson is a must-see. The town of Hudson boasts many galleries and interesting restaurants so the jaunt to Hudson will be worth the trip. See you there for the opening reception on Saturday? (We’re bringing the dogs, naturally!)

The Sketchbook Project 2011
Posted by Kathleen Benton on Feb 7, 2011
I am very excited to be participating in The Sketchbook Project 2011, organized by The Art House Co-op in Brooklyn, NY. The Sketchbook Project Tour will travel to nine, make that TEN (Rochester, NY added later) cities before each work becomes a part of the permanent collection at Brooklyn Art Library.
A reception will be held at the Brooklyn Art Library on Saturday, February 19th from 12:00-10:00pm (refreshments starting at 7:00pm). I will be attending and hope to see you there!
Each participant was required to choose a theme from a list provided by Art House Co-op. My selection was Lights in the Distance. I based my pencil and ink sketches on photographs of the architecture of Italy and France. A total of 38 drawings were created in this sketchbook. Each drawing is available as a giclée print. If you are interested in purchasing any of these drawings as a print all you need to do is contact me.

Posted by Kathleen Benton on Jan 2, 2011
It is very gratifying to have my art work included in the 3rd Annual Blue Door Artist Association Members Juried Exhibition. The included works were selected by juror Jeffrey P. Mueller, director of Silvermine Guild Art Gallery, New Haven, CT. The exhibit will be open to the public from January 8th through February 5, 2011. The opening reception will take place on Sunday, January 9th from 2pm-5pm. Awards will be announced at 2:30. This exhibit opening coincides with the opening reception at Upstream Gallery’s “Dimensions” show in Dobbs Ferry, NY, which will also include my work. The galleries are six miles apart and just a short train or car ride from each other. I do hope to see you here or there!
