Art, like literature, can create beautiful worlds or transport us to distant destinations. My exhibit, “Dreams of Faraway Places”, centers around colorful art that tells stories of places I love, both real and imagined.
The art in this exhibit leads you from the forests of Oregon to Canal du Midi in France to the center of New Orleans. Along the route are imaginary gardens, waterfalls, tropical coves, and southwest mesas.
The paintings I chose for this exhibit are rich, textured work using paint, paper, thread, buttons, plastic, and much more. You will spot old dictionaries, encyclopedias, textbooks, and roadmaps in many of the pieces. I love taking items that have outlived their usefulness and giving them a second chance at life in art.
“Dreams of Faraway Places” is on display at the Bexley Public Library from March 2 – April 30, 2019.
On Sunday, April 7, from 2-4pm, I will be at the library to give a talk about the art. Please come visit with me!
The Bexley Public Library is located at 2411 E Main St, Bexley, OH 43209. For hours and more information about this exhibit, visit www.bexleylibrary.org.
