The Art Gallery at Shutter Speed Photo in Middlebury, Connecticut, is hosting an exhibit titled "Color in Motion" by artist Lucy C. Pierpont, on display through June 13. Pierpont, a Middlebury native now living in Woodbury, has a background in marketing and graphic design and has shown her work at numerous local venues including the Mattatuck Museum, Hartwick College, and the Kent Memorial Library.
The exhibit highlights Pierpont's lifelong engagement with art, influenced by artists such as Edward Hopper, Norman Rockwell, and Helen Frankenthaler. This matters as it showcases the work of a local artist whose graphic designs have earned multiple Connecticut Library Association Publicity Awards, underscoring the role of community art spaces in supporting regional creative talent and making art accessible to local audiences.
