Award-winning artist Kathleen Best Gillmann celebrates her first year at the Loft Gallery with Oquossoc to Occoquan: an Artist’s Journey, landscapes and waterscapes extending from Oquossoc, Maine, to Occoquan, Virginia, with a detour to Minnesota's Lake Superior. As an outdoor enthusiast and Maine native, Gillman interprets nature in its many moods -- particularly the mercurial qualities of water, the subtle and vibrant textures of foliage, and the effects of atmosphere, sunlight and weather.

Since 2010, Gillman's acrylic paintings have earned best in show, people’s choice, and first place awards. For three consecutive years, her dramatic landscapes have juried into the Art League’s annual International ‘Scapes Show, winning an honorable mention for her most recent submission, "Beach Houses at Lord’s Point."

In addition to the Loft (www.loftgallery.org), Gillman exhibits at the Art League Gallery at the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria and at the Vulcan Gallery at the Workhouse Arts Center in Lorton (www.WorkhouseArts.org/kathleengillman). Her work is also online at her blog, "Very Best Fine Art," at www.artbykbgillmann.blogspot.com.
