Paintings on Display at the Darlington Library

The non-representational painting of Dr. Hiller Spires will be on display in the Allard A. Alston Conference Room at the Darlington Library through the end of November.

Spires, a professor at N.C. State University and Darlington County native, has ten works on display. In these works, Spires explores the emotion of color, texture and shape. Spires has this to say about her work, "Art is an exploration of emotion. I use color to explore feelings such as joy, sadness, peacefulness, anger, and exhilaration. I'm particularly drawn to juxtaposing orange and blue, which to me signal energy and serenity."

These paintings are on display through a partnership between Black Creek Arts Council and the Darlington Library.
