Kathleen Raash

The Lake Studies

March 10–April 21, 2010

Paintings by Kathleen Raash reflect the influence of living on a small lake in northern Wisconsin. Her interest is in capturing the rippling reflections on the lake, flickering images of trees, texture of bark, moss, and water, and the strong colors of the sunsets and northern lights.

Raash finds that, in lake studies, the quality of light reflected in the water is not a direct reflection of sky in the water, but rather an expression of changes caused by the motion of the surface.

A Wisconsin native, Raash completed her undergraduate work at UW-Eau Claire and her graduate studies in fine art at UW-Milwaukee.
