I always look forward to spring and each year I’m disappointed. I’ve said before, that while I love Kansas City, “No one lives here for the weather.” I found that art featuring nature can be something of a reprieve. Fortunately, we are headed into sunnier days. But if the sogginess and often chilliness of spring is bringing you down, the answer may be art.
Yes, I know, for me art is the answer to just about anything, but we are so fortunate to have a breadth and depth of artists and their work here in town. We are lucky as well to be able to access great art at reasonable prices.
One of my favorite examples is Emily Johnson’s small works. Represented by Blue Gallery, Johnson’s Vista series seems to capture the engaging quilt-like aerial landscape of the plains. In addition, her smaller work is approachable even if you’re considering multiples.
