Regular price: $20

Member price: $18

For Delaware-based painter Mary Putman, art is—and has always been—about us. Putman’s paintings explore the vast and complicated interconnections between the land and its occupants meticulously depicting the world in which she and we all live, often with unusual and sometimes surprising perspectives.  

In conjunction with this exhibition, the Biggs and The University of Delaware have collaborated on a book celebrating the life and art of Mary Putman
