ABOUT THE ARTWORK
River Passage is part of a body of paintings by artist Kathleen Caprario. These works feature landscape images bordered by decorative frames made from gold leaf and copper sheeting. The artist notes that her use of a distinctive frame “helps to separate the painted image from the outside world…” The landscape images are inspired by the artist’s sketches done on location.
