RSVP for Artist Talk

In Gathering the Chesapeake, Windham has used flora and fauna specimens from the Chesapeake Bay collected by Zach Gallery, the Academy Art Museum, and students from The Gunston School’s Chesapeake Watershed Semester. Over the course of the past year, the collected specimens were mailed to the artist in her Rhode Island studio where she created the hand-painted cyanotypes currently installed.
