Exhibitions

Reserved Passages celebrates Richard Yarde’s exceptional legacy in watercolor and connects his artistic vision to the work of his former graduate student Susan Montgomery, who now serves on the faculty of Smith College. The exhibition’s title refers to the untouched spaces in watercolor painting — areas purposefully left unworked, set aside, protected, or withheld. A meditation on a shared passion for watercolor, the exhibition reaches beyond the medium itself. It reflects on the genuine dialogue, exchange of knowledge, and relationship between a teacher and student.
