There was a young woman whose Bonnet
Came untied when Birds sat upon it
But she said 'I don't care!
All the Birds of the Air
Are welcome to sit on my Bonnet.'

GALLERY VI
Before moving to Vermont in 1985, Dominic Koval lived for many years
in Milton, Massachusetts, where he established an etching studio
and helped launch the Boston Bronze Foundry. In Milton, Koval worked
in monotype, woodcut and pastel as well as in oil and acrylic, and
exhibited regularly at The Nasrudin Gallery in Boston, The Voyagers
and the Paul Schuster Gallery in Cambridge. Once back in Vermont
– he spent a good stretch of his childhood on a farm in Vermont’s
Champlain Valley – Koval focused largely on landscape, both
observed and imagined. His carved relief sculptures in black walnut,
applewood and poplar bring forth extraordinary beings in association
with lions, leopards, owls, butterflies and the plant world, and
recently he has embarked on a series of pencil drawings which combine
delicacy of execution with an unexpected blend of poetry, precision
and whimsy. |
