Our Newest Collection:

A studio artist residing in Greenville, SC, Patricia Kilburg grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.  She loved to take the train into the City and soak in the energy and rhythms of urban life.  The Art Institute of Chicago was one of her favorite stops.  She visited frequently as a child, and later with her husband Don.  Viewing the collections and exhibits there was the catalyst that triggered an interest in making her own art. Ms. Kilburg is drawn to and inspired by visual imagery that looks like one thing, but, upon closer examination, reveals quite another.  "I find there is an aesthetic appeal, a sort of grace, to what appears to be ugly, old or worn.  In contrast to that, I often observe the flaws in what seems to be perfect beauty.  The paradox is fascinating to me," says Ms. Kilburg.  "It cannot be a perfect World, and, yet, there is sublime perfection to be found in the everyday world."

Patricia Kilburg's work will be on display at JB Lacher through June 2010
