Artist Reception: The Color of Feeling
An Art Exhibit by Pat Crockett (Claremont, NH)

Join us at Philip Read Memorial Library for a special artist reception celebrating The Color of Feeling on Monday, February 23, 2026, from 4:00–6:00 PM.

Pat Crockett’s work explores the expressive possibilities of acrylic printmaking, blending traditional techniques with unexpected tools—tinfoil, balloons, even a windshield wiper—to create richly layered, emotionally resonant pieces. Color, texture, and gesture come together to communicate feeling beyond words.

This reception offers a chance to meet the artist, view the exhibit, and experience the creative process behind this vibrant body of work.

🗓 Exhibit on view beginning January 28, 2026
