Seline Skoug: Back Roads
Seline Skoug's photography exhibition from January 21 to February 12, 2020 features landscapes photographed on back roads throughout the Battenkill and surrounding valleys. The images highlight Skoug's signature approach to her subject matter, capturing images as she travels through the landscape. Her approach has produced a collection of images that paint an intimate view of the working landscape of Bennington and Washington counties.

Her photographs are notable for their sensitive treatment of light and authentic sense of place. Her landscapes are quite different from the typical scenes seen on postcards and calendars. Instead, they are studies of the margins between season, space and time of day. Her images have been described by critics as having a serene, painterly quality, that is enhanced by the soft, matte quality of the archival pigments and vellum finish rag paper they are printed on.
Skoug has exhibited regionally in group and individual shows and her images hang in homes across the country. Her work has been recognized by Horticulture Magazine and the American Alliance of Museums and her images have been published in Untold Stories of the Battenkill and the Vermont Magazine Calendar. Her work can be seen at selineskoug.com.
The Gallery is open during library hours: Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 8 pm, Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm, Friday from 2 to 6 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm.
