The Artists’ Gallery’s August Show Features Evie Baskin in “Wells of LIfe“

The Artists’ Gallery will feature Evie Baskin’s newest series of work throughout the month of August. “Wells of Life” was inspired by time spent exploring parts of Ireland, Eleuthera, West Virginia, and the Eastern Shore. This body of work focuses on places that cause us stop, take a second look, and in some cases, calm the spirit. They help us realize that there still are unique and wondrous places of beauty all around us, waiting to be discovered. In these paintings, Evie used oil and pastel to capture the light, mood and color reflected in the various “wells of life” she visited.
