Celebrated painter Thomas Paquette, will share an artist talk followed by a meet and greet in the gallery. Paquette will discuss how and why he became a full-time artist, and the gallery walk will be an informal opportunity to find out more about the works in the exhibition, which include large oil paintings and small gouaches from Pennsylvania, Maine, Europe and the UK.

Paquette’s work has been featured in 71 solo exhibitions across the U.S., from New York and Minneapolis to California, and has been shown in 21 U.S. embassies worldwide, with two embassies including his work in their permanent collection. His paintings explore nature, place, and personal vision, and his career has been shaped by residencies in national parks, Greece, and Rome.
