Curated by Faith Hieblinger

March 17 – April 21 2019 Homer Watson House & Gallery

2018 winner of the Curator’s Choice award,  Price chooses to paint with watercolours as it allows the nuances of nature to unfold. “I am continually struck by the play of light on water, the shadows in foliage, the changeability of skies, and the vibrancy or subtlety of colour.”  Price’s paintings celebrate not only the energy and vitality of nature, but its serenity and harmony.

Phoebe wrote: “Women’s influence on the world at large is always felt, how can it be otherwise?” Phoebe’s hand painted china became admired and collected on a national level.

Nature and Humans|| Homer Watson|| Watson Museum

curated by Faith Hieblinger

January – March 

Lush forests, heavy clouds and rushing streams are often seen in partnership with markers of human industrialization: small and gestural depictions of working men and women as well as the depiction of man made structures, such as local mills and barns. Through his work, Homer captures the unforgiving moods and beauty of nature as well as man’s complex relationship with it.
