Dustan Knight, Creative Joy
York Public Library is pleased to host Creative Joy, a solo exhibition of works by Seacoast artist Dustan Knight. Knight’s paintings are often about the way light enriches a natural landscape. Her expressive, abstract style can be described as dramatic, rich, loose and energetic, recognizable for her sophisticated use of color and complicated surface textures. Drawing inspiration from rugged granite ledges, pine-crowned islands, and shifting coastal light of New England, Knight paints at her home studio on a small island between New Hampshire and Maine, or at her larger painting studio at the Button Factory in Portsmouth.
A reception with the artist is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16, 5:00-7:00 PM in the Library’s Upper Level.
