See breathtaking watercolors and intimate drawings by Mary Olson Farm’s 2018 Artist in Residence Michelle Lassaline. In 2018 the Mary Olson Farm hosted our first artist in residence - Michelle Lassaline. Lassaline was selected through a competitive process and her time at the Farm was made possible by the City of Auburn’s Arts program. Her experience at the Farm is now reflected in a new exhibit entitled WATERSHED. Last summer Lassaline spent her time painting, drawing, and exploring the historic farm. As the season changed from spring to summer she watched the animals shed their thick dark coats and the maples along the stream spread out their broad shady leaves. Each morning began with a walk through the pastures and woods, sketching and taking photographs; she spent the afternoons painting in the barn. The residency extended briefly into October so Lassaline could watch the salmon return to the Olson stream to spawn.
On Exhibit at the White River Valley Museum June 26 - September 29, 2019
