Cooperstown Art Association
“The Expression of Nature” by Kristen Dahms of Ballston Lake, NY will be exhibited in Gallery B.
Kristen’s colorful paintings explore the beauty and complexity of nature. She states, “Nature and animals are the foundation of my paintings. They offer endless inspiration and subjects for my brush. The art focuses on exploration in color, texture, and pattern. I experiment with different materials, applications, and colors to express a feeling or mood. Painting for me is about finding those complex layers of life and form found in the natural world and expressing them in my own way.”

Every year, over 50,000 visitors stroll down Mt. Vernon Avenue in Del Ray, Alexandria, between Bellefonte and Hume Avenues – people are greeted by over 300 artists (jewelers – silversmith & beaders, woodworkers, pottery makers, soap crafters, glass makers, unique painters, sculptures, fabric artists), musicians (Irish, folk, rock n’ roll, country and more), and food vendors (hot dogs, BBQ, Indian, crab cakes, chocolate bananas dipped on a stick, home made cider donuts). Kids activities have always been a vital part of the festival — stuff your own scarecrow, paint a pumpkin, lotus flower design, weave screen art, to name a few.
