If you missed the gallery talk by Julia Niepert, don't worry. Julia's artwork will be up until April 23rd at the Boswell Gallery.

In her gallery talk, Julia shared how her shift to plein air painting has transformed her work and mindset. By painting outdoors and focusing on beauty and light, she’s moved away from more tense subject matter and found a fresh, more positive perspective—both artistically and mentally.

Thank you, Julia, for a fresh perspective at a time when students are feeling rushed and stressed with their academic studies.

Join us tomorrow at the Boswell Gallery for a special exhibition reception featuring the work of Julia Niepart, a contemporary painter known for her atmospheric landscapes and realist approach.

The reception will begin at 11:00 AM, with an informal artist talk by Julia Niepart starting around 11:15 AM. This is a great opportunity to hear directly from the artist about her process, influences, and body of work.

The event is open to all Kaskaskia College employees, students, and members of the community, and will take place in the Boswell Gallery, located in the LLC Building.

We hope to see you there!
