Landscapes: Real & Imagined

Jefferson Museum of Art & History 540 Water Street, Port Townsend

From the abstract to the realistic, Landscapes: Real & Imagined focuses on Joan Jonland, Stephen Yates, and Thomas Wilson (1931 - 2015)—three painters who have lived and worked in Port Townsend for the majority of their lives as artists. Each artist's reverence for our natural environment emerges in their unique approach, creating art that inspires and challenges us to see the land differently. Along with the work of Jonland, Yates, and Wilson, this exhibition features many selections from our permanent collection and local collectors that have never been publicly displayed. Landscapes was co-curated by Cliff Moore and Ann Welch. Special thanks to the artists, JCHS's Art Advisory Committee, and all our members, donors, and volunteers who support exhibitions in the Ferguson Gallery!
