Maine Arts Commission presents watercolor series by artist Katharine Cartwright

Eighteen watercolors on display at the Maine State House through August 2019

The Maine Arts Commission is honored to present the work of Maine painter Katharine A. Cartwright’s solo exhibition The Laws of Nature, on display at the Maine State House in Augusta through August 2019.

The Laws of Nature exhibition is a selection of 18 watercolors inspired by Cartwright’s life as both artist and scientist. Cartwright is an internationally recognized artist whose paintings are included in over one hundred private and corporate collections. She holds signature status to the National Watercolor Society and The Northeast Watercolor Society.

“The foundation for my work is the intended concept, or idea, which derives from my unique perception of the world,” Cartwright said. “When a concept forms I explore it for years by creating a series of paintings that result in concept expansion and nuanced meanings.”

The Laws of Nature series has earned Cartwright international acclaim, with several of the paintings touring in China for two years as well as notable arts venues around the United States. Cartwright’s works also appear in publications such as A Walk into Abstracts, Best of America Watermedia Artists, and Professional Artist Magazine. Most recently, one was featured as a full-page in the journal American Scientist

Laws of Nature can be viewed as a free, self-guided exhibition, located on both the ground floor and second floor of the Maine State House. All works are available to purchase.

The Art in the Capitol program is administered by the Maine Arts Commission and is designed to expand accessibility for Maine artists working in state on Maine-based themes.
