A Painter's Search for Meaning in Nature
Benefit Event for The Nature Institute
Saturday, March 12 at 7:30 pm.
North Pointe Cultural Arts Center, Rte 9, Kinderhook, NY
As a landscape painter, Thomas Locker has spent decades
studying nature and bringing her to expression in his paintings
and children's books. In his talk, Thomas will speak about
his ongoing search for meaning in nature. It's a search
to the mountaintop, but also a search in the seven directions
of the Native Americans. He will show eight new paintings—displayed
for the first time—of his beloved Catskill Mountains.
The talk will be followed by a panel discussion on "Finding
Nature's Meaning Through Art, Science and Religion."
Panel discussion participants will be:
- Christina Root (Moderator), Professor of English, St.
Michael's College, Burlington, VT
- Thomas Locker, painter and author of award-winning children's
books
- Craig
Holdrege, biologist, author, and director of The Nature
Institute, Ghent, NY
- Rev. Mark H. Diebel, Rector, St. John the Evangelist
Episcopal Church, Stockport, NY
This should be a stimulating evening for all art and nature
lovers and admirers of Thomas Locker's work. There will
be refreshments, book signing, and the opportunity to see
other works by Thomas Locker on exhibit at North Pointe.
This event will help raise funds for the non-profit work
of The Nature Institute, which is committed to helping people
find new and deeper meaning in nature. For more information:
