Nantucket to Lahaina: A Fifty-Year Journey of a Plein Air Painter

This exhibition of paintings by Paul Arsenault includes exotic and domestic ports and rivers of the world while acknowledging local and indigenous heritage. Over five decades, Paul’s travels have allowed him to inhabit and document many soulful waterfront destinations. His love of history and his adventurous spirit heighten his appreciation of the cultures he is privileged to experience.

As a witness to the environmental transformation occurring at these fragile places, due to development and climate change, Paul strives to use his art to bring attention to issues and to possible solutions.

An artist talk will accompany the exhibition, date to be determined, featuring Arsenault’s experience that began in Woods Hole 50 years ago, and his subsequent travels. He will discuss the artists, writers, and other heroes who have inspired him and drew him to particular locations around the globe.
