Join us on Wednesday, August 27, for our artist conversation with Tom Kretsch, whose exhibit, A Symphony of Color, will be on display in the South Gallery from August 2 through October 5. There will be a reception from 6 to 7 pm, followed by a conversation between Kretsch and Miggs Burroughs from 7 to 8 pm.

Tom Kretsch of Tom’s Peaceful Places Photography captures the quiet poetry of the land and sea and places in-between. From misty harbors, to sun-drenched porches, to abandoned structures on the plains, to old barns that ooze with texture, his compositions often feel like memories: soft, still, and filled with a sense of place. With a painter’s eye for light and balance, he brings an artful calm to everyday scenes, making the ordinary extraordinary. His work is soulful and serene.

Kretsch’s background as an educator and lifelong traveler informs his ability to see beauty in the simple and the small. Whether he’s photographing New England, further afield or right here in Westport, his work speaks to his genre of peaceful places.
