Gretchen Rohde's Art at Land Trust Office
Gretchen Rohde, a Lake Wenatchee based artist, has her art on display through March at the Land Trust office in downtown Wenatchee. Gretchen's work is strongly connected to her interest in the environment and conservation efforts in the Wenatchee River Watershed in North Central Washington state. "I am constantly inspired by the varied, stunning landscapes that have been my backyard since 1995, and find endless subject matter for paintings that will hopefully inspire the viewer to appreciate and respect both the power and vulnerability of this beautiful place," she says.
According to Gretchen's artist's statement, "Although my current work is still very representational, I’m always pushing myself to emotionally interpret the landscape with more vibrant colors and energized mark making to better communicate how I feel when on location. Moving from a 35 year career as a professional graphic designer to a full time painter, my landscapes break out of the rigidity of my previous profession and explore the 'extreme experience' and pleasure of painting on location."
Visitors are welcome to wander through the office and look at Gretchen's paintings during the Land Trust's normal business hours, Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
