KENT, Conn.—The Kent Memorial Library will present a solo exhibit, “Color in Motion,” by Lucy C. Pierpont in the library’s gallery from June 30 through Aug. 29.
A Woodbury resident, Pierpont has worked in the marketing/graphic design field since graduating from Hartwick College as an art major. She has created art her whole life and has had her paintings and photographs displayed in many regional venues, including Mattatuck Museum, Hartwick College, Oneonta Art Association, the Kent Art Association, Washington Art Association, Burnham Library, Kent Memorial Library, Flanders Nature Center, Ridgefield Art Walk, Mark Twain Library, Seven Angels Theatre, Gallery 25, Lyme Art Association, Gallery 25, and the Society of Creative Arts of Newtown.
She currently works part-time with the Kent Memorial Library and the Washington Depot Office of Klemm Real Estate doing graphic design and public relations. Her artwork can be viewed at lucypierpont.weebly.com.
Her graphic designs for the Kent Memorial Library have been the recipient of eight Connecticut Library Association Publicity Awards in recognition of design, marketing and publicity created to promote a Library service or event.
“From my earliest recollections, art has always been in the forefront,” she said. “I chose the graphic design route and spent my career in it. Now art embodies my life through friends, work, play and travel. Throughout my studies, I have been influenced by a wide range of artists beginning with Edward Hopper and Norman Rockwell to Hans Hoffman, Jackson Pollock, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler.”
An artist’s reception will be held Sunday, July 26, from 2 to 4 p.m. To register, call the library at 860-927-3761.
