Karen Guilbault is a prolific artist who creates mixed media seascape paintings, as well as art objects made from natural fibers such as pine-needles and felted wool. SEA OF DREAMS features coastal landscapes in acrylic and oil, as well as a new mini-painting series (5×5”) which include abstract landscape vignettes and bird paintings developed from splashes of abstract paint. For fibre art lovers, there are pine-needle baskets trimmed with felted wool, Kelp, and lichen. The center is often a stone or clamshell decorated with a painted bird or design. Karen will also show her new felted wool “pods” which hang on the wall to hold dried flowers, which have pine-needle basketry trim. There will be public events on the weekends July 18, 19, 25, 26 at Gage Gallery, such as outdoor painting for all ages, and painting demos by the artist In the courtyard.
