Plein air painter Kip Bradley is painting six marsh locations around Savannah, Georgia over the course of a year to document coastal changes.
“The project will support efforts to immerse myself knee-deep in a muddy adventure to further my awareness and effort to find unity in the patterns of nature and painting through repetitive investigation, in order to share a story of appreciation for life at the marshes edge,” Kip said.
His writings and 24 paintings will be made into hand-bound books, and the final paintings will be shared at the Kalmanson Gallery (East Georgia State College, Swainsboro) in September 2023.
