Kimball Art Center Exhibits - August and September

Lori Campbell: Horizons
July 30 – September 25, 2011 in the Garage Gallery
In this series of contemporary landscape paintings, Lori Campbell focuses on horizons. Campbell is fascinated by the contrast of light and shadows in the sky and on the land. By applying thick layers of paint and thin glazes, she builds up rich textures and creates depth in her luminous paintings.
Lori Campbell will be the featured artist at the Gallery Stroll on Friday, July 29 from 6-9 p.m.
