March Exhibit: “Winter into Spring” by Kelly Desrosiers

The Camden Public Library welcomes artist Kelly Desrosiers for her fine art exhibit of collage-based paintings titled Winter into Spring in the Picker Room Gallery during the month of March*. The public is invited to a “Meet the Artist” teatime on Friday, March 28, at 3:00 PM in the Picker Room. This will be a last chance to view the exhibit, chat with the artist, and enjoy light refreshments.

“I view the overlapping of patterns as a proxy for the web of relationships in the natural world, both visible and invisible, and from micro to macro. The time-consuming finished works have strong compositions based on Maine landscapes, seascapes, flora and fauna, but also have layered depth, hidden visual surprises, and a unique textured surface.”

*The Picker Room hosts meetings and library events and is not always open for viewing. Please call ahead or check our website calendar to see what’s happening daily.
