Kimberly Trowbridge: Into The Garden

The University of Washington graduate Kimberly Trowbridge (MFA, 2006) also spent time at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK. Her solo art museum debut grows out of a two-year fellowship at nearby Bloedel Reserve, the expansive series of formal gardens surrounding the weekend house of late collector Virginia Bloedel Wright. The new works extend Trowbridge’s advances in painting the garden, which she describes as “the stage for the cultivated growth of human consciousness.”
