A Sneak Peak at the Sherborn Library's January Art Exhibit

The Friends of the Sherborn Library are excited to announce that artist Kate Graham Heyd, a resident of Hopkinton, will be exhibiting some of her work at the Sherborn Library beginning in January.

Heyd's works have been exhibited in various galleries and shows throughout Boston's Metrowest communities. Her paintings and photographs are in private collections from the Northeast and the Midwest to the West and beyond.  

She is currently a member of the Fountain Street Fine Art Gallery in Framingham, MA, where she has studio space. Heyd received a BA with concentration in Painting from Pennsylvania State University in 1995. After working in several galleries, moving to Massachusetts and starting a family, she began painting again.

During her years at home full-time with her daughter, she expressed her creativity by painting with watercolors and taking photographs. While she still enjoys those mediums, she is now painting with oils.

Her exhibit will be available for viewing on the first floor of the Sherborn Library between January 4th and January 31st. Additionally, she has donated one of her paintings, "Produce," to the Friends of the Sherborn Library for auction.  

All proceeds support the Sherborn Library's programs and operations.

Artist's Personal Statement

"Nature is my constant inspiration and I believe that the world is the ultimate artwork.  Trying to mimic that beauty through painting is a worthwhile goal.  However, after several years working representationally, I find myself drawn more towards the colors of this world than the actual landscapes.  Now, I am working on a new series exploring color and how it works and contrasts with other colors."
