February/March 2024

Hari Nair | Café Gallery
Acrylic & Graphite

 

Elaine Wilson | Atrium Gallery
Drawing & Painting

“My work is based on drawing. Drawing helps me to begin to see a place or a structure, and to understand its proportions and interrelationships.  I like the moments in drawing when a form appears with very few marks or tones and the paper is transformed.”

Aerick Burton | Display Cases
Origami/Digigami/Taxigami

“For Aerick B., art is an expression of his love for the beauty & peace that surrounds us everyday. His art serves to represent the belief that love, peace, & beauty can be found anywhere & everywhere we look, especially if that is what we’re looking for.”

April/May 2024

Melody Allen | Atrium Gallery
Pastel

” I love working with pastels.  It has the rich colors of paints. But because it is a dry medium, there is no mixing of pigments before applying and there is no drying time between layers.  I can draw lines of pure pigment, and I can layer individual colors or can physically blend them together.”

Purchasing Local Art

Some of the art displayed in our art exhibits is available for purchase. You can inquire about pricing or artist contact information at the Information Desk on the main level. The library does not handle the sale of artworks. Interested parties must contact the artist directly. Artwork displayed at the library for an exhibit must remain at the library for the duration of the contracted exhibit.
