Where Water Meets Land, Opening June 25

We all know water is essential to life. But H20 is also essential to art. At least, that’s the premise of Where Water Meets Land, a group exhibition happening at FOCUS Gallery. According to advance press, the show will feature three creatives whose artwork is influenced by water. First, there’s Katie Hudnall, a woodworker who grew up along the Potomac River and spent childhood summers on the South Carolina coast. “Her fanciful, sometimes functional, sometimes impractical, painted wooden objects are inspired by furniture, illustration, tools, toys, and all things nautical,” reads a press statement. Next, there’s Amy Putansu, a textile artist whose hand-woven “paintings” are influenced by the “stark and raw nature” of her native coastal Maine. Lastly, there’s Sarah Vaughn, a glass artist who finds inspiration for her sculptures in rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water.
