To a painter, the horizon line can be essential. Whether the work of art is a Vero Beach sunset scene or a Renaissance masterpiece, there is a good chance the painter began with the horizon line. The painting developed from there, perhaps acquiring a sense of three-dimensionality and vibrant, flamboyant color. New possibilities were opening up for the artist to explore.
Likewise, at the Vero Beach Museum of Art, new horizons are beckoning, with a major expansion planned. A new chief curator, Caitlin Swindell, brings enthusiasm and flair, and she is eager to explore what the future holds.
What is involved in being chosen chief curator of a museum? Swindell comes to Vero Beach from the Lowe Art Museum, a fixture in the Miami arts scene, where she served as curator of collections and exhibitions. Prior to that, she was senior curatorial assistant in modern and contemporary art at the Denver Art Museum.
