OLD SPOUTER GALLERY
118 Orange St.
Katie Trinkle Legge's exhibit combines her contemporary still life pieces and pieces inspired by the fields and pastures of Nantucket, including sheep from Squam Farm. On her exhibit, the artist says: :As always, bold color plays a major roll in the work. While my work is representational (realism not abstract) I try to push beyond the subject so the painting becomes more important than the subject. I'm not concerned with recording things exactly as they are. I want the paintings to have life and character so a viewer might relate to it in more than one way. They may be attracted to the subject but also taken in by the color and texture of the paint itself."
