Artist Talk with Kate Thayer

The Gallery at Flat Rock is excited to present a special artist talk on Sept. 11, “A Tree in the Woods,” focusing on the vital role trees play in the landscape. The talk will feature two Gallery at Flat Rock artists, painter Kate Thayer and metalworker Steve Joslyn. Joining the discussion will be Steven Carroll, a self-proclaimed ‘tree doctor’ who is passionate about preserving trees within landscape for the further health of the wider ecosystem.

Kate says that she is often looking at trees as they change, over the course of a day or multiple seasons, within the overall functioning of the plant landscape. “All my paintings are of places I have been to in Western North Carolina,” says Kate, who moved to the area from Wisconsin. “My technique is to create colors and textures with oils that represent the movement and vitality within the forests through all the seasons. The changes in the same scene over time has captured me.”

The Gallery at Flat Rock represents finely curated art and craft, and is located in Flat Rock Square at 2702-A Greenville Highway in Flat Rock, North Carolina. Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.; or by appointment.
