Meet the Artist: Louise Pond
The Bascom, in collaboration with Highlands Sotheby's International Realty, invites you to meet pastel artist Louise Pond at a special reception on Friday, May 1, from 4:30 to 6 pm. A selection of Pond's work will be available for purchase at the event. Additional works are available in The Bascom Shop.
Louise Pond paints from life, striving to tell a story in her own visual language. Her pastels record a world in motion — swallows darting from the eaves of a long-abandoned farm, the deep shadows a racing sun casts across a once-inhabited porch. In her work, art becomes a visual record of what once was, and Pond, with quiet conviction, counts herself among its keepers.
