Kathleen Conover’s “Industrial Evolution” painting series is inspired by the changes in the American landscape as she has observed them over five decades. Visual references for this series abound from her iron mining home on Lake Superior in Northern Michigan, across the agricultural heartland of the USA as well as Internationally. She has painted the colors and deep textures that capture the essence of this evolution.
Often included is a raven: a creature of great adaptability, creativity and survival intelligence. The raven is figuring out its next move to survive in the evolution of industry just as we are. In a time of tumultuous change, the Origami cranes are my prayers for peace. Through her art, Kathleen asks us to consider our own place within this evolving landscape.
