Whitney River
Whitney River is inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her in midcoast Maine, both in the woods and by the ocean. She uses oil on canvas and graphite on paper to render natural objects with great detail and precision, while her watercolors of the horizon are evocative of memory and space. The simplicity of her compositions emphasizes the way the organic forms interact with each other and with the space around them, allowing the viewer to focus on the individual objects and what they might represent, or with the watercolors, on the open expanse itself.
