Curated by Jenn Houle: Curating the 2017 Art Ramble has been a wonderful opportunity to not only work with a great group of artists but to also have the privilege to be allowed into their individual practices. I felt very lucky to have found people willing to create entirely new pieces that were site-specific and responded to this landscape. I appreciated the support of the town, the Umbrella Center, the Trails Committee and local naturalists who shared their rich resources and knowledge. It’s been a lot of work to coordinate and assemble the exhibition but it feels well worth it! The artwork fits the forest, each piece is truly unique, and all call for slower looking and closer observation of our complex natural world.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS: This exhibition will illustrate a variety of approaches to abstract painting, from sheer and luminous to dense and sculptural created by six contemporary artists from Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland. The artists include: Bernhard Hildebrandt, Joanne Kent, Sandi Ritchie Miller, June Shadoan, Mary Shand and Diane Szczepaniak. Their paintings will present to the observer a visually sensuous experience through these explorations of texture, depth, form, gesture and color. Co-curated by N. Elizabeth Schlatter, Assistant Director of the University of Richmond Museums, and Gwen Van Ostern, independent curator, this selection of paintings represents a multitude of associative meanings, the most salient of which is the suggestion of landscape, both internal and external. According to Schlatter, "We are pleased to present these artists' paintings in the Richmond area because of their exceptional and individual techniques employed for creating their compositions." Among the artists, Joanne Kent is continuously exploring the use of paint and its application. In her art, paint is used as a sculptural medium, giving the works a charged physical presence that energizes the area they encompass. For Diane Szczepaniak, her paintings are compositions where form emerges from layers of color. Her subject matter therefore is form itself. At times she applies the paint in thin washes of color and at other times she puts on the paint straight from the tube, placing one color on top of another. Sandi Ritchie Miller applies enamel paint to Plexiglas to create windows into infinite space. By painting multiple layers on this surface, she builds depth, allowing the observer to transcend the confines of the picture plane to what looks and feels like a portrayal of the cosmos. "Through their individual works, the viewer can gain a greater appreciation and understanding of the paint medium itself and the artists' use of the medium," said Schlatter. "The exhibition title refers both to the paint applications and to the enduring nature of abstract painting, through and beyond the twentieth century." .
