Where The Owl Soars

Recent Paintings by Katharine Dufault

In Where the Owl Soars, Katharine Dufault presents a series of invented landscapes shaped by memory, sensation, and lived encounters with fields, forests, sky, and mountains. Her paintings reimagine the Earth as both presence and substance—ground, surface, and structure—formed through layered color, gesture, and abstraction. These immersive terrains reflect the reciprocal relationship between humans and the land that shapes them. A solitary owl, perched on a wire amid the treetops introduces a moment of watchful stillness. Balancing familiarity with mystery, the work invites contemplation of landscape as both physical and symbolic realm.
