The Art of Michael Kline

Join us for an opening reception for Change: The Art of Michael Kline.

On view in the Peterborough Town Library Community Art Gallery from First Friday, October 4th until Saturday, November 30th.

Michael Kline will also be giving an Artist Talk on First Friday, November 1st at 6pm.

Kline has identified as an artist since the age of five when a teacher noted that there was “something special” about one of his drawings. When majoring in art in college, Kline says “…life experience had led me to experiment with what I drew and painted, and I was drawn to professors who were more interested in using art to express one’s inner world more than outer appearances. Thus began several decades of making art that I eventually came to realize symbolized my feelings and spiritual world view.” 

After 30 years as a Waldorf teacher making art in his spare time, Kline was finally able to focus on creating and selling his art. He opened a gallery/studio space in Wilton, which he ran for about three years. Then, he says: “From one day to the next I lost the urge to make art (or at least I lost the unconscious compulsion to do so), and I closed my gallery.”  

Change: The Art of Michael Kline is dedicated to the artworks he took with him after closing his gallery. “This exhibit is the culmination of a lifetime of creating art”, states Public Services Librarian Aimee LaRue. “Kline has built his life around the idea that he is an artist, and this exhibit shows how this idea has changed over the course of his career, and what it means for him now.”
