Kit Keith: New and Used
September 10 - October 16, 2010
Reception for the Artist Friday, September 10 , 6 - 8 pm
Kit Keith paints over thrift store paintings, old magazines, advertisements and other ephemera from the past. She is inspired by “beautiful illustrations†and a time when “everything was done by hand†and the convenience of a computer font was unimaginable. Her iconic portraits of elegant, wistful, figures carefully placed on old maps, ledgers and discarded papers are stoic yet emotive with a story behind each one.
