Marian Willmott: ‘Seed To Bone’ 7/2 – 8/1 OPENING RECEPTION Thurs July 2nd 4:30 – 7pm

Posted on June 24, 2026 by spacegalleryvt

‘Seed to Bone‘ features paintings by Vermont artist and Poet Marian Willmott. Her body of work explores the human form, its expressive and existential possibilities, and the shifting boundary between figuration and abstraction. Working primarily in oil, often combined with cold wax medium, Willmott builds luminous surfaces through layers of translucent color, allowing one hue to resonate through another.

The movement of brush and palette knife remains visible, creating a dynamic interplay between figure and ground that transforms the entire composition into a unified field of energy. Layers are applied, obscured, and reworked until the painting arrives at a sense of balance and harmony. While some works begin with a live model and others emerge from drawings or imagination, each evolves through an intuitive process in which judgment is suspended and deeper forms of connection and expression can emerge.

Exhibition Duration: July 2nd through August 1st 2026

Please join us for an opening reception on Thursday July 2nd from 4:30 – 7:00pm to honor this body of work. Meet the artist, share a free beverage and snacks with others from our creative and supportive community.

The exhibition also includes a selection of ethereal landscape paintings and poems from Willmott’s recent collection, Seed to Bone, which lends its title to the exhibition. Together, the paintings and poems reflect an ongoing exploration of transformation, embodiment, memory, and the natural world.

*This exhibition is supported in part by a grant from the Vermont Arts Council.

Marian Willmott is a Vermont-based artist whose practice spans painting, monoprinting, and poetry. She studied psychology and painting at Goddard College and attended the Art Students League of New York. She earned a B.A. in Psychology and Painting in 1968 and an M.F.A. in Painting in 1987 through Goddard College and the Vermont Studio Center.

Willmott maintained an active studio practice while teaching art in public schools and continuing her artistic studies through life drawing workshops. In 2001, she began an intensive exploration of monoprinting, drawn to the medium’s experimental and unpredictable nature. After a decade focused primarily on printmaking, she returned to painting in 2010, where she continues to explore color, form, and gesture.

Alongside her visual art practice, Willmott is an accomplished poet whose work has appeared in literary journals and several published collections. Today, painting remains the central focus of her creative work.
