Barbara Alloway will show her foil and metal painting in the latest exhibit at the Santa Maria Public Library’s Shepard Hall: Flow. See it at 421 S. McClelland St. throughout August.
Alloway has been painting professionally for about 10 years. She started painting on foil and metal a few years ago as one of those “what ifs”—as in “What if I painted on foil and metal?” The result was paint that slips and slides and surprises with mood or texture or color Alloway didn’t even know was there.
An artist reception will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Aug. 11 at the library.
