“First Light” features portrait work inspired by nineteenth-century Vermont and the individuals who shaped its history. The exhibition includes oil paintings of union soldiers who served in the Vermont Cavalry and Infantry, academics, suffragettes, politicians, underground railroad agents and the events in which these influential Vermonters helped steer local history.
Driven by early American history, Kadunc drew from archival photos to create portraits capturing lives of Vermonters who helped shape the policies of the Union.
“Much of the history of this era,” writes Kadunc “occurred around our local communities and with [the] participation of local individuals.” Kadunc’s paintings focus as much on local Vermonters as on nationally recognized figures, reminding viewers that some of the most influential Americans in times of national conflict lived and worked in the Northeast Kingdom.
The gallery is open Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., or by appointment.
