MILLBROOK — A  reception was held at the opening of the exhibit of Millbrook artist June Glasson’s works at the Millbrook Library on Saturday, Nov. 5.

More than 60 people attended the exhibit, a marriage of Glasson’s many different styles, a mix of serious portraits and fantasy figures, engaging, and well worth perusing.

Library Director Courtney Tshalis was pleased with the turnout. Glasson shared stories of her works with friends, fellow artists, and the many who attended who had heard of Glasson’s work. She also teaches, and while she relishes her times of solitude in her studio, she is firmly embedded in the community as well, and feels her work highlights her interest in individuals and the community, how she sees them and how they see themselves. Wine and light refreshments were served. The exhibit will be on display through November.
