Our new state buildings have a certain amount of their budget
set aside for artistic enhancements, including paintings.
When our campus library was renovated and expanded, an
impressive array of paintings were added to the corridors.
A nearly abstract seascape by Paul Gunn always makes me smile.
And I was thrilled when a piece appeared from one of my
favorite Pacific Northwest painters.
Katherine Ace creates pieces that have a mix of classical and
surreal themes that are haunting. I could see one hanging in a
museum, or on the decaying wall of an Italian villa.
Within the large canvas, the details are extraordinary,
a wonderful analogy for the library experience.
