We went to Golden Belt Arts yesterday. Chuck has a piece in a group exhibition there and I wanted to see it. I may not be home to see it on Third Friday. So, we had a more quiet viewing. When we walked in, I was delighted to see that Perrin Marie has a show going on in the main hallway.
We met her a few years ago and she is absolutely delightful. She’s one of those artists who always sees the world through the lens of her art. Everything that she encounters is a potential component. Perhaps because of that, she, also, sees the world very clearly.
The exhibition at Golden Belt is called Hoopla and the website is hoopla.love.
