Schouten Gallery Presents Carolyn Doe
May 4 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 4th from 5 – 7
During Langley’s First Saturday Art Walk
Carolyn Doe’s batik paintings depict landscapes and birds on random patterned backgrounds that exude a quiet warmth in soft colors. “When dye touches silk it spreads quickly. The wax creates a boundary. This dance of control/no control captivates me. Through this ethereal quality, I convey the essence of a place and the creatures that dwell there.”
Doe’s inspiration comes mostly from the natural environment. Carolyn continues: “My work as a field camp manager and cook around the state of Alaska allows me to experience wonderful, wild and remote places. I spend hours observing, and then go indoors and create. I like the movement of birds. They sometimes fly into my work. I like the quiet of trees. They too, sometimes enter my paintings. And I love the stillness of the land.”
We hope you can come by and enjoy the beauty!
