Nancy Foster RetrospectiveDate: Saturday, July 18 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm Last Updated: February 25th, 2021 |
Location: Oliver Art Center
Hosted By: Benzie Area Chamber of Commerce
Event Details: Oliver Art Center presents a retrospective exhibition of the work of Nancy I. Foster. A longtime OAC Member Artist, Nancy's work has made an impact everywhere she has resided. Her paintings have been exhibited throughout the western and midwestern United States and is among both private and corporate collections. She has said of her journeys, “My migrations across this huge land have sparked an abiding interest in formations of the land—observing the effects of wind, waters, rivers, the thrusting of tectonic plates, the nature of geological time, questions of scale, and, finally, man’s hand in changing and marking the land.” This exhibit is an opportunity to travel across America through Foster’s eyes: taking in humble midwestern landscapes, romantic landscapes of the Great Lakes, the edges and shadows of urban Chicago, and the majesty of nature from Michigan to the west coast. Opening reception Saturday, July 18 from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. Refreshments will be served, all are welcome.
