On First Friday, The Artists’ Gallery in Chestertown will feature the work a new exhibitor, Kathie Rogers. The images in this show, using the words of Kathie Rogers, encompass “April! Springtime! What a beautiful show nature provides for us. The earth comes alive with buds and blossoms of all colors. I love the color of cherry blossoms, multi-colors of pansies, the fresh greens on red radishes, the bright white of daisies, and the turquoise of robin eggs- all are inspirations for me at this magical time of year.” Ms. Roger’s goal is to see the beauty in ordinary things around us and to translate this onto the canvas for you to see and interpret in your own way. Her work is always evolving as she continues to learn new ways to express her creativity.
