The Art Center is proud to present Attachments, the latest series by artist Kate Higley.

Kate’s work derives from a life-long bittersweet affection for the scents, sights, sounds and wildlife in marshes, estuaries, creeks, and wetlands, along with deep concerns about their destruction. Growing up within yards of a tidal creek, she has lived in many inland places but was drawn back to the seacoast where she now lives and has her studio in Eliot, Maine. The Heath, a triptych in oil and cold wax, derives its name from an area of Eliot recently noticed on an old map. Combining her long history with both painting and printmaking, the Sycamore pieces began life with prints from leaves of a tree behind the Woodman Institute in Dover, one of the tallest in NH. The work evolved via layers of oil and cold wax into the complex works on display.

The exhibition will run now through October 31 at The Art Center, with an artist reception scheduled for Saturday, October 5, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM.

The Art Center located at 1 Washington Street, Suite 1177, Dover, NH.
