Art of Helen Boland at Lucidity Photography

Visit Lucidity Photography gallery in Newberry Square (downtown Lewiston) for the Art of Helen Boland.

Opening Reception is Friday, May 2, 5-8PM. Art will be shown through June 5.

As a lifelong naturalist, retired science teacher and homestead farmer much of her art reflects her love of animals, nature and landscape. Moving between detail, realism and impression she mostly works in watercolor, but also use ink, acrylic, pastel and assemblage.

Her favorite work is created on site in nature. En plein air painting brings me to the mountains, farms, gardens and even in town. She carries her sketchbook along with pencils, pens, brushes and portable paints with me practically everywhere she goes. Enjoying local music or waiting for appointments present opportunities to practice technique as she capture sexpressions, movement and form.
Her formal education is in Biology and Science teaching. Along the way she has taken several college art classes, but mostly is self-taught. Her work has been shown at: Blue Mountain Artisan Guild in Pomeroy, WA , Blue Mountain Artists of Dayton, WA, ArtWalla in Walla Walla, WA, Allied Arts in Richland, WA, Bristle Gallery, Kennewick, WA, the Valley Art Center, Clarkston, WA, The Dalles Art Center in The Dalles, Oregon, Pendleton Center for the Arts, Pendleton, Oregon, and PAWA – Plein Air, Washington. Art has also been featured in several gallery shows, events and businesses throughout the region.

Hours are Tuesday-Saturday from 10am – 6pm.
