Mark Cullen Art Exhibit

The art of Mark Cullen, Reference Librarian and local artist, will be on display in the West Wing of the library (near the Adult Porch) through October 31.
"I have been making art since I was a child. It is compulsive, really. If I don't make art for a while, I start to feel off balance. I work in a variety of mediums: recycled teabags, beeswax, and salvaged piano parts are a few examples of the unusual materials I like to employ. I get a charge out of rescuing materials from certain death in a landfill and breathing new life into them. The display at the library is witness to this fact. You will find paintings, old-school printmaking, and found-object sculpture which utilize traditional and non-traditional materials." - Mark Cullen
