Drawn in Place | Kristin Link

May 14, 2026 Karinna Gomez

Kristin Link, May Studies, watercolor and pen, 12 x 16 inches

MAY 2026
SOUTH GALLERY
Drawn in Place | Kristin Link

This exhibit is about what happens when we go outside, pay attention, and build a practice around what we find.

Loose daily diary sketches layer contour drawing with wet-on-wet watercolor washes to capture moods, weather, and the passage of time. Botanical studies track what plants are doing at different times of year. I return to the same plant across weeks and seasons, watching it change. My notes leave room for questions, research, and thinking out loud.

The nature studies of plants, animals, and landscapes in this exhibit were developed through years of teaching field sketching across Alaska. In April 2026, that practice became a book: Discover the Art of Field Sketching, published by Timber Press.

It's a joy to share this work with you, and to invite you into a sketching practice of your own. The world is better when we slow down, pay attention, and learn to find some love for what surrounds us.
