An avid painter of people, portraits, still life, and animals, Kirk Larsen is most passionate about plein air landscapes and maritime subjects. “The greatest thing about a being an artist,” he says, “is that I have the joy of painting the beauty I behold.” As a sailor and racer of both classic and modern boats, he brings to his art a lifetime of experience out in nature and on the water.
The sale of art exhibited during Light Over Waterhelps support the Society’s Beverly Mohlenhoff Fund, dedicated to the collections and activities of the Angela Koenig Center.For more details, contact the Society at 516-922-5032, or email obhsdirector@optonline.net.
