The exhibit “Hope,” featuring the work of Hilda Kilpatrick, will be presented March 29 through April 23 at the Buenaventura Art Gallery, 700 E. Santa Clara, Ventura.
A reception will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 2. Kilpatrick’s oil paintings are primarily landscapes: local scenes, places that impress and inspire passion within her, mountains, trees, the ocean, the green of spring and the beautiful California skies, the gallery reported in a media release.
Raised by an artistic family in the cultural city of Trujillo, Peru and influenced by the early California painters as well as the Impressionists, her pallet is warm and sunny with nature firmly in the forefront of her work.
“Most of my work depicts scenes that I fear may not be here forever,” Kilpatrick said. By capturing places on canvas, Kilpatrick said she hopes these vistas will remain timeless.
