Art exhibit at Canton Library

art cantonThe Canton Library Visual Arts Exhibit is currently featuring work by Denise McCullough, a 94-year-old acrylic artist.

McCullough’s works are a mixture of abstract expressionism, impressionism and realism — styles she has evolved through over the years. Her paintings are on view in the main patron usage room through August.

Born in Princeton, Kentucky in 1921, McCullough started her career as a realist, and has since transitioned into abstract expressionism and impressionism. She has won many awards throughout her active art life, and her work hangs in the state capital in Tallahassee, Florida, and in many other public buildings throughout the south and as far away as Australia and Iceland. Her paintings feature the remarkable places and fun activities to be enjoyed within the Haywood county area.

Also on view in the Canton Library meeting room are Helen Geltman’s landscape and horse photography, as well as some of her sculpted wall hangings and prints.
