Kathie Wheeler, “The Road Home,” oil on canvas

Since her early teens, this prolific painter has felt an intimate connection with the landscape, and her love for it surfaces brilliantly in each of her canvases.

The Cedarburg Art Museum in Wisconsin is hosting “Down a Country Road” through November 5. The exhibition is a solo display of outstanding plein air paintings by Kathie Wheeler, who currently lives and works on a small farm in southwestern Wisconsin. Very much inspired by the French Barbizon and Hudson River Schools, Wheeler’s works have an inner luminance that enlivens the surfaces of her landscapes — a feature that has helped the artist capture numerous awards, including Best of Show during the 2014 Cedarburg Plein Air Festival.
