Art Exhibition At Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty

Kevin Palfreyman: Hudson Valley Luminism

Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty’s Catskill NY Real Estate office is proud to present the art of Kevin Palfreyman in an exhibition titled Hudson Valley Luminism as part of our "Gallery At Work" series.

Kevin Palfreyman has a life-long fascination with the outdoors. This grew in the early seventies when he studied language and literature at Fort Lewis College in southwest Colorado, where he was taken with nineteenth century Romantic Poets and their interpretation of nature as a benign and comforting manifestation of the spiritual world. A few years later he married artist Linda Wainwright Palfreyman who introduced him to plein-air painting. Here, he found a home in nature that fostered his passion to create. For the last 30 years, Kevin has lived in the Hudson Valley and has been greatly influenced by the Hudson River School Painters. 

In this series, Kevin displays his admiration and fascination for his subject, the Catskills & Hudson Valley, and his view of nature as a benevolent presence – a source of calm and a connection to the spiritual world. He chooses to paint these tranquil landscapes without the presence of people. "For me, there is civilization in enough in real life." Kevin's greatest aspiration for all of his work is that it may remind the viewer of their place in the natural world and help to reconnect them with the sense of spirit that nature’s serenity can inspire.
