Cahoon Museum Opening: Peaceable Kingdom: The Art of Donald Saaf

This exhibit features large scale paintings and collages that explore Saaf's experience of nature, family, and community in rural Vermont. Deeply interested in "memory of place and experience," the artist draws upon a lifetime of keen observation as he captures moments when external and internal worlds overlap. Saaf explores the subtle line between fine art and folk art in paintings that are heartwarming and approachable. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Saaf has been exhibiting nationally for twenty-five years, is the author of numerous award-winning children's books, and performs on a variety of instruments.
