Featured Artists

Kathryn Gearon
Artwork on view in the Quiet Room

Providence native Kathryn Gearon is a painter, teacher, and an advocate for the arts. She has been painting for over 20 years, and received her BFA from Rhode Island College in 2001, and a MFA from The Museum School of Fine Arts at Tufts, in 2018. She has exhibited her work extensively in galleries and public venues throughout Southern New England.
  
“My work is derived from the ever changing urban landscape. I am influenced by industrial objects and the constant state of change that they are in. I use a lot of industrial colors in my work, and there is a distinct sense of order to my work that makes the viewer create their own narrative through abstraction.
 
I also use traditional oil techniques to build my paintings upon. Most of my work is a mixed media consisting of traditional oils, oil pastels, cold wax encaustic and metallic pigments. I often use special papers to create a sense of texture, as well as inviting the viewer to imagine their own landscape.”
