New York City, New York –  FIRST STREET GALLERY is pleased to present “Backyard Wilderness,” a solo exhibition of watercolor landscape paintings by Jessica McGarry Bartlet. Featuring a collection of works created through direct observation of nature, the exhibition captures the beauty and radiance of the natural world.

Using watercolors to create luminous and vivid scenes, Bartlet explores the wild and untamed aspects of nature. With a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the interplay between light and shadow, Bartlet paints landscapes that are both strikingly realistic and profoundly imaginative.

“Backyard Wilderness” takes viewers on a journey through the artist’s observations of nature. From sweeping vistas to intimate scenes, the exhibition showcases the many facets of the natural world. Whether painting the rolling hills of the countryside or the dense forests of the wilderness, Bartlet uses color and light to capture the essence of each landscape.

The paintings in “Backyard Wilderness” are a testament to the artist’s skill and sensitivity as a painter. Through their use of watercolors, Bartlet creates works that are both delicate and powerful, capturing the intricacies of the natural world in a way that is both realistic and transcendent.

“Backyard Wilderness” is a must-see exhibition for anyone who appreciates the beauty and power of nature. The exhibition will be on view at First Street Gallery from September 6-30th, 2023. A public opening reception will be held on September 7th from 6-8pm, and the artist will be in attendance.
