VERGENNES — A solo exhibit of new work from Rose Umerlik is coming to Northern Daughters fine art gallery in Vergennes. Umerlik’s work is abstract with a focus on form and line. Working in graphite and oil on panel, she explores the complexity of what it is to be human, in her exhibit “The Human Experience,” by mirroring that complexity in the interaction and layering of forms and lines in her work.

Rose Umerlik, Composure, 2017

“The colors in this piece speak to what you would want in a bedroom—they are very serene, light, and airy.
