Paintings by Wendi Hulslander on Display Now Through April

Familiar Keene landmarks highlight the exhibit of acrylic paintings by local artist Wendi Hulslander, on display in the East Room Gallery, United Church of Christ in Keene, 23 Central Square, from now through the end of April.

The artist writes, “My earlier art is close to photo realism, consisting of historical scenes from my hometown of Keene NH — such as the Ye Goodie Shoppe, Timoleon’s city block, the Wyman Tavern, and Ashuelot River park. I also paint when I am away in the tropics, and have many tropical island scenes.”

Ms. Hulslander is a member of the Monadnock Area Art Association and has won multiple awards at the annual Art in the Park in Keene. She says, “Once you realize you can paint, nothing is the same. You walk in a vivid world of opportunity. Every flower garden that grows, each twinkle of ocean water, a city scene in front of you, a homeless person on the street or dogs in a golf cart… they are all potential paintings.”

The exhibit is open from 11 am to noon every Sunday, and by appointment during the week by calling the church office, 603-352-4136. It is closed Saturdays. There is an accessible entrance at the rear of the Church, off Vernon Street. Exhibit is on the first floor. All are welcome.
