WHERE THE OWL SOARS @sefa_gallery
The final weekend is coming up -
Fri 3/13, Sat 3/14 & Sun 3/15 11-5
I will be there on Friday and Sunday
I’ve had such fun chatting with everyone who’s come to see the show!
Thank you!
Farewell to Susan Eley Fine Art gallery in Hudson. The gallery will be missed by all the artists, the collectors, the friends and the whole community. Susie started the gallery as a popup during COVID, and it became a permanent gallery space for six years.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to show my work in the galley five times over the past six years - Most recently in a solo show Where the Owl Soars.
Thank you to Susie, Liz and Mark 🙏
I look forward to your next ventures …
Édouard Vuillard : Early Interiors @skarstedtgallery
Beautiful. After seeing these stunning paintings, I was satisfied and ready to go home! (I stayed and saw a few more shows-see stories.)
I lingered at each small painting: tiny portals; snap shots of silent interior worlds recorded in thick and thin paint, light and shadow pattern. And color. His use of silhouette feels abstract and contemporary.
Today (Saturday) is the final day - run see it!

A few faves from the beautiful new Princeton University Art Museum.
To enter, one descends below ground (curious!) and past a huge and wonderful Nick Cave installation. Upon entry, one is greeted by a large bright green and pink Frank Sella radiating summer joy from behind its plexiglass security box. The museum itself is full of textures - stone, wood, concrete, pebble-dash etc. and the spaces feel both cosy and expansive: human-scaled. Like most contemporary museums these days, the artworks are eclectically displayed in visually appealing groupings.
Slide 1 Charles Burchfield
Slide 2 Arthur Dove and Marsden Hartley (POW!!)
Slide 3 Winslow Homer - his shafts of light 👌
Slide 4 Mary Cassatt - DuPont & aquatint
Slide 5 & 6 Willem DeKooning from an exhibition of early works
Slide 7 Claude Monet (the frame AND moire is a bit excessive!)
Slide 8 Alice Neel
Slide 9 Rande Cook, Kwakwaka wakw and Mark Rothko - Joy in pink and red ❤️
Slide 10 Helen Frankenthaler and Toshiko- a wonderful ceramist.
Slide 11 Toshiko
Slide 12 Frank Stella
Slide 13 Nick Cave
Slide 14 Guanyin - seated in "royal-ease" pose, ca. 1250
A few images from the opening of my exhibition Before the Rain on view in the ballroom at the Present Day Club in Princeton, New Jersey.
Founded by women and still led and supported by women, the club serves as an intellectual and social center for the women of Princeton, fostering interest in science, literature, art, and social and ethical culture.
I also gave a short talk about the work.
The title ‘Before the Rain’ comes from a childhood memory in England, where the weather often shaped daily life - we would set out for walks and hurry “before the rain.”
That suspended moment, just before a shift in weather, resonates with the atmosphere of these paintings
And a huge thank you to my dear friend @dsheehanlife for everything she did to organize, help and support me🙏❤️❤️

My solo exhibition of recent paintings.
‼️I’m in the gallery today: 11-5 - come say Hello 👋
In Where the Owl Soars, Katharine Dufault presents a series of invented landscapes
shaped by memory, sensation, and lived encounters with fields, forests, sky, and
mountains. Her paintings reimagine the Earth as both presence and substance -
ground, surface, and structure- formed through layered color, gesture, and abstraction.
These immersive terrains reflect the reciprocal relationship between humans and the
land that shapes them. A solitary owl, perched on a wire amid the treetops introduces a
moment of watchful stillness. Balancing familiarity with mystery, the work invites contemplation of landscape as both physical and symbolic realm
Happy weekend! 🌷🌺🌹
At SEFA Hudson, you can see recent paintings by Katharine Dufault. “Where The Owl Soars” is a solo exhibition on view through March 15, 2026. The Gallery will be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11AM-5PM and by appointment; please email [email protected] to schedule a visit.
“Crimson Meadow” captures a stunningly colored view of an abundant field of flowers with mountains in the background. Created in 2026, the painting is oil on wood panel and measures 24 x 24 inches.
In “Where The Owl Soars,” Katharine Dufault presents landscapes shaped by memory, sensation and sustained encounters with the natural world—reimagined rather than recorded. These are not depictions of specific places, but invented terrains that emerge from lived experience and emotional resonance.
