Art Gallery

In 2007, art gallery space was added to the Community Room of the Cuba Circulating Library. This was made possible by gifts from Jim and Delores Cross, and from Dean Benham in honor of his grandchildren, Jack and Claire Benham. This space is used to highlight the works of local artists.

Now Showing…

In a series of semi-abstract mixed media paintings Gauthier draws inspiration from avant-garde jazz, working from sketches made during live performance. The resulting imagery is as vibrant, fluid, rhythmic and colorful as the source.

She is concurrently working on a series inspired by the natural abstractions in the urban landscape as seen in the fluid reflections contrasted by the static grid of windows. For Kathryn it presents a visual metaphor for the nature of modern society. “The necessity to compartmentalize our lives to keep pace creates a paradigm of conflicting forces. Structure versus chaos…Essence versus form.”

Gauthier sometimes combines performance and visual art, expressing her multidisciplinary leanings. She finds grounding in nature and home, as evidenced by her body of watercolor paintings and graphite drawings.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Arts Council for Wyoming County.
