Poughkeepsie-based artist Julia Whitney Barnes joins us to share insights into her wide-ranging artistic practice, which is based in reverent observation of the natural world. Whitney Barnes’s work is a highlight of the Loeb’s exhibition The Botanist at Vassar, on view through October 4.

This event is free and open to the public.

In The Patient Looks Back: Portraits of My Therapist, Catskill-based painter Joyce Polance reverses therapy’s usual direction of attention by turning the patient’s gaze toward the therapist. Painted in oil entirely with her fingers, the three-year series moves between likeness and disruption, testing how much close looking can—and cannot—reveal.

Five musicians, three holding string instruments, arranged against a black background.
