Southport, CT - A new art exhibit presented by Pequot Library Sept. 6 - Oct. 6, themed "Coastal Expressions", features the abstract seascapes of Joyce Grasso, the Best in Show winner of Pequot Library’s 2018 Art Show Wet Paint: Art Fresh from the Studio. Grasso describes her acrylic on canvas paintings as creating a “feeling of place” with “bold colors, multiple laters and varied textures.”
This exhibition also highlights Grasso’s mixed media collages with hand-painted acrylic papers on cradleboard.
