Lacawac Artists' Residency | Barb Mowery | August 2019 | Artist in Residence | Lacawac Sanctuary
Maryland artist Barb Mowery was a 2019 Artist in Residence at Lacawac Sanctuary in Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania.
I'm really a homebody at heart, but it's so important as an artist to go somewhere new, to refill the well, and get my brain excited about painting. I grew up in the woods in the home my great-grandparents built. So being in this 500 acre wild place with miles of trails and historic buildings felt very welcoming to me. My focus for the residency was the sky.
I thought I would be looking mainly at the night sky, but I found all of the skies irresistible. I could walk to the boat dock before dawn and watch the sun rise over Lake Lacawac and immediately carry those impressions back into the studio. In my paintings I approached the sky at different times and from different directions. I wanted to record the changing light, the reflections, the tiny peeks of sky and lake through the woods, the vast peacefulness... And there's something great about having the freedom to make piles and piles of new work.
