CONTEMPLARI NATURA

New Work by Tallmadge Doyle

November 22, 2011 – January 8, 2012

Artist Reception: Wednesday, December 7, 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Karin Clarke Gallery, now located in the Art Annex, is pleased to present an unusual set of limited edition etchings by Eugene artist, Tallmadge Doyle.  These prints were made from copper plates which were subsequently mounted on the hearth wall at the Ford Alumni Center at the University of Oregon.  The 1% for the Arts commission was used for the finished piece, which spans a 30 foot by 8 foot wall.  The lush flora and fauna of Oregon form the subject matter for this group of delicately rendered prints expressing the beauty and majesty of the state’s diverse habitats.

Originally from New York, printmaker and painter Tallmadge Doyle has lived in Eugene for 20 years.  She received her MFA in Printmaking in 1993 from the University of Oregon and has taught printmaking on and off as an adjunct instructor since her graduation.

Her work has been exhibited in over one hundred national and international exhibitions, including recent solo shows at the Davidson Gallery in Seattle and the Augen Gallery in Portland.  Doyle has received numerous awards and her work is held in many public collections in this country and overseas.

An artist Reception will be held on Wednesday, December 7, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m.  The artist will be available to discuss her work.
