Sulzer Regional Library hosts an Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month art exhibit throughout May featuring paintings from artist Judy Koon.
Artist Statement
“The paintings were painted mostly in Ireland, but also in Italy and around Catskill, New York. All places I have returned to many times. I am particularly drawn to hilly towns and rugged beaches. Conditions of fog, haze and nighttime are natural conditions that present the landscape in a veil of familiar ambiguity or between-ness. The changing nature of light and atmosphere allow the landscape to be experienced as abstract, and yet particular and very specific. Fog can obscure the landscape form; air and atmosphere become thick and tangible. Vagaries of shifting light make every day different.”
