ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Depicting an "introspective stroll, as well as the Northwest's marine atmosphere," artist Kay Buckner painted Emerging to highlight rich contrasts in technique, color and imagery. Using thick and thin layers of paint and a variety of brushstrokes, Buckner captures different densities and textures between pavement, foliage, and atmosphere.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bellingham School District.
