Elevation
Caroline Adams
September 9th - October 7th, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday September 9th, 2023
Artist Statement
I spent the past four years living at 8,500 feet, on the side of a mountain. I drank in the light and color, clarity and distance, movement and quiet. With each day above, below, and within the clouds, I came to not only see the landscape with my eyes, but also feel it in my body. I want these paintings to convey some of that sensation of living at elevation.
