Gibbs Library is pleased to announce our January through February art exhibit:
Hoof Beats: Mixed Media Expressions
Can you feel the pulse of hooves echoing through the corridors of history? For centuries, horses have carried us across landscapes, not only physically but spiritually, bridging time and space. In the present, they continue to stir our hearts and minds, embodying ideals of freedom, wildness, and beauty. Through my work, I explore the horse as a powerful symbol—timeless and ever-present—representing the boundless energy of the natural world and the human spirit. — Diana Gallant, Artist Statement
This stunning & diverse display of visual art will run all of January through February.
A reception will be held on Sunday, January 26th, from 2-4pm.
Artist’s Bio:
A native of Maine, Diana Gallant has always been captivated by the rugged beauty of her surroundings, finding endless inspiration in the natural world through drawing and painting. Her passion for horses began in childhood and quickly became the central muse of her artistic journey. As her work evolved, she turned to mixed media to convey the horse’s essence through vibrant texture, color, and the layering of materials. Diana’s process is intuitive, marked by bold splashes of color and energetic, deliberate marks, all while maintaining a deep connection to the spirit of the horse. The result is a dynamic, one-of-a-kind expression that blends abstraction and realism in powerful, emotional ways.
