Merged Lifestyles of Kachemak Bay
by Marian Beck
This solo exhibition features pieces that reflect on Marian Beck’s life in Halibut Cove, her relationship to the land of this region and to the waters of Kachemak Bay.
Expressing a distinctly personal view, Beck’s evocative paintings reveal her experiences and the change from wilderness to the modern world. “Life on the Bay has so many chapters. Each of these 17 paintings represents the first line of a chapter, or even an entire book,” said Marian Beck in her artist’s statement.
