Last days to see ‘Desert Rhythms’

Published 12:03 pm Friday, October 31, 2014

Visitors to The Island Gallery will have their last chance to see “Desert Rhythms,” art by Lisa Wederquist, at the Bainbridge gallery this weekend.

The exhibition runs through Sunday, Nov. 2.

Born in Germany, Wederquist grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and is currently based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

She paints on linen, paper and canvas. Her paintings capture the essence of the natural world in the Southwest: Desert sky, wild grasses and the search for water. “I have been a painting contractor and decorative painter for many years. I have always been an artist. The scale of many of my paintings is informed by a love of physical work, the imagery by a love for the physical world.”

The Island Gallery is at 400 Winslow Way E., Suite 120.
