Iva Smith Gallery- “Northern Tales in Texture and Light” Opening

Join artist Catherine LaPointe-Vollmer for the grand opening of her solo exhibition “Northern Tales in Texture and Light” at the Iva Smith Memorial Gallery of Fine Art in Hammond, NY. The gallery will also be opening several other exhibits during this event, which will remain on display until October.

Potsdam-based artist Catherine LaPointe-Vollmer creates impressionistic landscape paintings in soft pastel. Her work centers on the effects of light and shadow on the landscape, with a particular focus on the distinct character and personality of trees. “I am especially drawn to patterns of light and dark in nature because of the scarcity of the sun in my northern climate. For a few brief moments, the sun holds the power to transform the shape of my surroundings before disappearing again. I believe there is beauty in the humble and mundane, if you look at it in just the right light.”
