Artist Reception: Susan Bienen Johnson

Join us at the West Tisbury Library during the month of September for an art show titled “Stone Walls, Graves, Fishing Shack Windows” by Susan Bienen Johnson. A closing reception will be held Tuesday, September 29th 12pm-2:30pm. The exhibit and reception is free and open to all.

Johnson states, “This group of paintings celebrates lichen-covered landscapes and fishing shack windows, all of which make connections. The fishing shack windows connect and reflect views, and sometimes suggest still lives — window panes jammed with dusty paraphernalia. Pale lichen connects stone walls and trees, and makes the world green, while golden lichen creates spiral patterns against somber gravestones, connecting and transforming a dying place into a living one. For many years, the beach was my favorite place for plein-air drawing. Seated near the water’s edge (where all the natural elements connected), I drew rocks, seaweed, sand and sea as the tide changed.”
