Art Exhibit: Lilian Jackman

LILIAN R. JACKMAN: Pears, Monks & Dogs in Boats, letterpress and woodblock prints opens March 1 at Salmon Falls Gallery. Perhaps best known as the owner of Wilder Hill Gardens in Conway, MA, Lilian R. Jackman is also a visual artist. You get that by visiting the gardens: color, texture & line, all beautifully realized with plants, stone walls, buildings and pathways. The winter months are her time for working in 2D. Her chosen art form is letterpress and woodblock printmaking. The prints for this exhibit include 3 basic directions: woodblock illustrations for her children’s book Violeta: One Dog’s Journey, Letterpress pieces composed from the typographic elements known as dingbats, and woodblock prints inspired by her graduate studies at Yale Divinity School.

Exhibit can be seen March 1 – April 25 at Salmon Falls Gallery in Shelburne Falls, MA, Thurs. – Mon. 11am -5pm. Information at SalmonFallsGallery.com, 413.625.9833 and in our online store.
