Poogy Bjerklie
Gallery
Ms. Bjerklie’s artistic career encompasses many
media. She studied metalsmithing at Maine College and her textile work has
been shown in Tennessee and Missouri as part of several NEA-sponsored
exhibits and at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. She has been the subject of
KETC-TV’s "St. Louis Skyline" and is the recipient of the city of
Philadelphia’s "Dresses of the World" award. Bjerklie continues her
exploration of the landscape surrounding her summertime home in rural Maine.
With their varying array of skies, trees, horizons, these small-scale gems
of oil wash on rag board stand within painting traditions that use detached
observation of the natural world to elicit a sense of place, solitude, and
stillness.
