Headlands was created for Paquette’s solo museum exhibition about the nation’s wilderness areas, On Nature’s Terms.
A special group exhibition:
The River’s Journey
February 17-July 9, 2018:
Wildling Museum, Solvang, CA
Six painters in Santa Barbara County have joined together under the banner of Rose Compass to produce an exhibition at the Wildling Museum about the Santa Ynez River and the water challenges that are endemic to the region. The gouache paintings in Paquette’s 2014 solo exhibition at the Wildling (On Nature’s Terms) inspired these six women to use the medium exclusively for this exhibition – and so a few of his gouache paintings were invited to be “special guests” in the show. Catalogues are available.
