Cape Cod Museum of Natural History Naturescape Gallery presents "Gardens & Beaches" by Eve Aspinwall

Naturescape Gallery at the Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents Gardens & Beaches, paintings by artist and art educator, Eve Aspinwall, July 2 - August 30, 2025, during Museum open hours. Artist Statement: “I didn't set out to do paintings of my garden, I just couldn't help myself. This is where we spend much of our time when we're not enjoying the beaches, so it seems natural to include them in a summer show. Like the beach, the garden changes every day and every year, and yet, the underlying rhythms remain the same. Softly undulating swaths of color and light, the curves of pathways and layered natural forms, all bring a sense of serenity and wonder. I am interested in both realism and abstraction and how the two ways of seeing connect with expressionism - the ways we feel. For me, the beach is a primal place, vast and inspiring, nourishing and refreshing. In our yards and gardens, we try to create our own nourishing landscape - with varying degrees of success. A garden is an intimate, evolving relationship with nature and its wild possibilities and surprises.” Eve studied at Vesper George School of Art, School of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts College of Art, and Lesley College School of Expressive Therapies and she holds a BFA in Printmaking and Drawing from the Massachusetts College of Art As an art educator, Eve taught at Buckingham, Browne and Nichols School, Cambridge, MA, Brookline Adult Education, Nauset Community Education, Cape Cod Museum of Natural History, private lessons and workshops.
