When she discovered her “kindred spirit” recently, Caetlynn Booth knew she just had to learn more about the German artist Adam Elsheimer (1578–1610). This fall, she is getting her chance. Booth—who received her master of fine arts degree from the Department of Visual Arts at the Mason Gross School of the Arts in New Brunswick in the spring—received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Berlin, where she will continue to create her oil paintings of nocturnal urban landscapes while studying Elsheimer, whose most famous paintings—such as The Flight Into Egypt (1609)—inform Booth’s own work, in which she wants to create “something that isn’t what you expect,” she says. Likewise, Booth is “expecting the unexpected” while in Germany.
