Reception Sat. June 5th, 6pm – 10pm

Jennifer Morgan is one of the Frying Pan’s featured artists, If you came into the gallery last year you may remember her paintings of the What Theater, the Bass River Train Bridge, and her series of small ‘Block Paintings.’ For this season Jennifer hunkered down in the studio, beat down a case of painters block, and produced a incredible series of new works that feature views and landmarks on The Cape. Subjects include The Beachcomber, The Wellfleet Drive-In, the What Theater, Bridge Views, Commercial St. Wellfleet, and much more.

The show will be on view all day Sat the 19th and Sun the 20th. The official reception is Sat the 19th from 6pm – 10pm. This is a great chance for Cape art lovers to view this fresh new collection of paintings, and to meet Jennifer in person. Hope to see you here.

Here are a few photos from the other day at The Frying Pan. Thanks to all of you who have already had a chance to visit us already over the past few weeks. Opening week and Memorial Day Weekend were a big success with incredible Spring weather in the 80s, and a great turnout.

MEET THE ARTIST

Kilty Binger Gilmour was born in 1935 in New York City. Her work has been acclaimed for its vivid use of color, clear linear definition and bold compositional sense. Her paintings depict portraits, people, animals, architecture and still life. The subjects of her canvases can be found to frequently combine antiquity with the contemporary and the abstract. Regardless of the thematic trend, her paintings provide the viewer with a link to the realm of the imaginary.

Kilty seeks out a variety of eclectic mediums with which to express her sense of the ironic. She creates shadow boxes in miniature from wooden crates, sculpted portraits out of driftwood and kitchen utensils, detailed landscapes on rocks and shells, and appliqué on mirrors. Aside from oils on canvas, she has gone on to create calendars, greeting cards, numerous illustrations and watercolors.

She received her early training as a student at the Putney School under the renowned Spanish artist, Fernando Gerassi, at the Art Students League in New York and, later, with painter and mentor, Lionel Gilbert. Her recent exhibitions in Manhattan include shows at the 92nd Street YM-YWHA, the Century Association, and the Pumpkin Eater Cafe. Her works have also appeared at Noah’s Gallery in Stonington, Connecticut.

Her illustrated children’s book, Mary Guy: A Caribbean Folk Tale, was published by Lothrop, Lee and Sheperd in 1993.

Kilty makes her home in New York City and spends her summers in Wellfleet, Massachusetts.
