Thank you, artists, friends and guests, for a lovely evening of literature and art.
Last night, the Evergreen Chiropractic office was virtually transformed into an art gallery, with artwork by six different artists hanging on the walls and lining the hallways.
It made for the perfect setting to listen to Carl Sloan read from his new book, Random Thoughts of a Wandering Mind: Musings from a Lifetime of Being Half-Smart.
Along with answering questions about his literary work, Carl talked about the photographic digital art that he and his wife, Lida, create. For them, art is about balancing “playfulness”–which helps to foster creativity–with polish, which artists sometimes forget about. Carl and Lida make it a point to put in as much time on the latter.
Here are a few of their pieces:
The art exhibited at the event ranged greatly in style and medium, from Kelly Fleek’s “biomorphic” paintings, to Doug Sherburne’s beautiful–and functional–driftwood art:
Barb Yeakel’s vibrantly-colored abstract paintings warmed up Evergreen’s halls:
Thomas Mead’s sketches, abstract paintings and multimedia art provided an inspiring backdrop for conversations about art:
It was a wonderful event, and all of us at Evergreen Chiropractic are glad we could spend it with you, enjoying great refreshments:
