Anna Marie Pavlik spent three weeks in November taking “swamp walks” through Big Cypress National Reserve in Ochopee, Fla., following trails marked by fluttering orange streamers, often slogging through water up to her knees – all for the love of her art.
Big Cypress was one of 10 national parks across America where the Kentucky artist has been invited for an artist-in-residency. She interacts with park visitors, presents a program about her art and donates a piece of work to the park inspired by her visit.
Pavlik will be at River Gallery in the Bluff View Art District on Saturday, Feb. 4, for the opening reception of a nature-themed exhibit in which her intaglio art – figures or designs carved into or beneath the surface of hard materials – will be featured as well as the lampwork of Loy Allen and the porcelain vases of D. Langford Kuhn. The exhibit opens Wednesday and remains on view through Feb. 28.
Angie Supan, River Gallery assistant director of sales, says each woman has had her art in River Gallery before, but this exhibit will offer all-new works.
