Kyle Martin is the featured exhibitor in the Community Room gallery. Kyle notes that he first noticed different qualities of light while milking cows at sunrise at the age of 12. He thought to himself, "I'm going to paint that some day!". Now an award-winning artist, Kyle creates shape-based interpretations of still life and the landscape. In this captivating exhibit, titled "Capturing the Essence of Nature", he invites viewers into the vibrant world of plein air painting, where nature unfolds in real-time and the beauty of the Wisconsin landscape is captured on canvas. Through this exhibition, Martin challenges us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us. Kyle's paintings can be viewed during regular library hours when the Community Room is not in use. Please ask for the key at the circulation desk.
