The show will be open Saturday, October 3 and Sunday, October 4, from noon to 6 pm. Each day, Mitchell will give a painting demo at 2 pm in the 3rd floor art studio and a walk-through artist's talk at 4 pm in the 2nd floor Gallery

This show comes from Katherine's love of painting the figure freely. The old Shaker song Simple Gifts says it best: "and when we are found in the place that is right/We will be in the garden of love and delight."

In this show, Katherine Kurtz returns to painting the figure, larger and more loosely than ever.  Often monumental in size, the paintings nevertheless convey an intimacy and a tenderness.
