Wilderness Stories
artwork by Jim Kaelin
October 5 - December 18
Opening Reception: Thursday, October 15, 1-2 p.m.
"Easter Morning", acrylic on canvas
We share this amazing and unique world with so many other living things. Plants and animals all making an interwoven, interdependent tapestry of wonder and beauty on landscapes that, one could argue, are also alive and somehow sentient. We all originate from this tapestry and should embrace it as active members with respect, reverence, and appreciation.
"Field Marshals", acrylic on canvas
I’ve always felt my best when outdoors, listening to the whispering trees, watching the ever changing clouds, observing how the sunlight plays across everything—nature communicating its mood. New expressions everyday. It’s these things, along with the wildlife so blessed to call the outdoors home, that I attempt to preserve in paint. My goal is to capture these moments, offered by our good Earth, reminding us to appreciate a texture, a color, the dance of light, an assemblage of natural elements. Nature generously shares these moments of marvel, inviting us to slow down, appreciate, and connect.
Originally from Louisville, KY, Jim Kaelin relocated for a degree in Graphic Design at the University of Cincinnati. He has worked in the advertising and marketing arena for more than 40 years, and over that time, he has explored acrylic painting, admiring the works of artists such as Steve Lyman, Robert Bateman, Carl Brenders, Nancy Glazer and many others. Awed by nature since he was a child, the natural world inspires Jim to understand and appreciate it better through illustration or painting. For more information visit: jimkaelinart.com
