Karin Clarke Gallery is pleased to present Forest Communities, a large exhibition of new paintings by beloved Eugene artist and nature advocate, Olga Volchkova. With her training in Eastern Orthodox iconography and traditional icon painting, Volchkova celebrates the communities of native plants and animals found in the Pacific Northwest and calls attention to the interconnections between flora, fauna, and humankind. This selection, thrilling for art- and nature-enthusiasts alike, features eighteen new works and is notable for its variety of approaches to its subject matter. The pieces in this series vary in size and include, for the first time, a taller vertical format. Prints of the artist's new and previous work are also available.
