This exhibit of oil paintings depicts the Outer Cape - its landscapes and those whose livelihoods are connected to it. In her artist’s statement, Karen Dec writes:“For me, creating art is observation and documentation. It brings together mindfulness, problem solving, imagination and creativity. My works express emotions of peace, solitude and rhythmic quietness. Utilizing a palette knife and bold brush strokes, my paintings portray the natural beauty and human resilience that defines the Outer Cape.

An opening reception will be held from 11 am to 1 pm on Saturday, July 11. Refreshments will be served.
