For Jean Kigel, both an artist and a perennial gardener,
flowers are her favorite muse. This
show features a variety of field and still-life florals - some small, some
oversize. She draws her
inspiration largely from the shapes and shades of flowers she has inherited and
from local plant sales. This time
of year Jean stalks the coastal wetlands for skunk cabbage shoots. In summer,
she monitors the moods of lotus. In
autumn, she collects handfuls of wild grasses to paint.
And in the winter, heather and witch hazel.
Jean paints in such a way as to transcend surface appearances and capture
the ineffable character of a plant, suggesting the real subject is not the
lotus, but the conceptual atmosphere that enveloped it, the invisible ether
within which it sways and glides. FMI call the gallery at 832-5109, or visit
