A decade ago, Kraig Thayer Rasmussen took a break from exhibiting his atmospheric paintings of landscapes, waterscapes and epic scale vistas. Rasmussen is emerging form his hiatus with Rivers Flow Through Us, an exhibition featuring work created over the past four decades.

Rasmussen has selected paintings that convey his reverence for the natural work—calling attention to the nature and the environment. “My paintings are meant to be reminders, cautionary images of places that are disappearing,” says Rasmussen. “Living with the constant battery of suburban sprawl it is easy to forget what wilderness feels like.”

Rivers Flow Through Us captures the evolution in Rasmussen’s painting style as well as his curatorial vision.
