Julia Hartling: Beasts in Bloom
NarbART Month
Opening Reception First Friday May 2, 6-9 pm
Meet Julia and her beasts and enjoy live music by Bar 33!
Stroll Narberth and ‘sea’ the NarbART.
Julia’s ideas are kindled from stray sparks, one thought igniting another until a whole world appears. This year’s collection features little wild stories in bloom; a carousel of creatures full of attitude, personality and petals. Her exhibit is proof that magic can sprout from the simplest things.
