WELLFLEET, Mass. – Photographs by Karst Hoogeboom, and art by Mark Adams and Rebecca Arnoldi will be featured at Cape Cod National Seashore’s Salt Pond Visitor Center in December. The exhibit is part of the seashore’s ongoing series, Perspectives: Seeing Cape Cod National Seashore Through Art.  

Karst Hoogeboom grew up vacationing on Cape Cod. He worked various summer jobs here during college, and has lived in Wellfleet for the past ten years.  He remembers Gertrude’s Beach Box, bombing runs on the target ship, and rolling down the “Pilgrim Lake” sand dunes as a child.  He has witnessed 60+ years of change on the Outer Cape and is grateful for the land stewardship provided by the national seashore. Hoogeboom seeks to document through photography the quirky, ephemeral artistic expressions by locals (whether they were intentional or not).  He tries to always have a camera with him so he won’t miss a good shot.
 
Rebecca Arnoldi has a fascination with the natural world and especially the plants and animals of coastal Cape Cod. She uses art as a tool to study these life forms. She has an MFA in painting and an MS in Environmental Education. Her art has been exhibited in galleries and museums in Boston, Provincetown, New York City, and Israel. As a summer interpretive park ranger at the national seashore, Rebecca enjoys sharing her love for marshes, dunes, forests, beaches, and ponds with visitors and neighbors. 
 
Mark Adams is a painter, printmaker, and a cartographer with the National Park Service. He has been based on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard since 1987. He exhibits regularly at The Schoolhouse Gallery, where he has focused on works of art that use layered images of maps, personal notebook pages, text, data, and images of animals and friends in light accumulation on paper and wood panels. Adams’s work is about things that imperfectly represent nature to our society. He harvests curiosity, wonderment, and a little biology as source material.  

A public reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, December 8, from 2 to 4 pm in the exhibit room at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham.
