Fourteen acrylic paintings by Peter Herley are on display through August at the Norway Memorial Library.

 

NORWAY — Visitors to Norway Memorial Library can enjoy an art exhibit in the reference room. “Extreme Quiet” features 14 acrylic paintings by Peter Herley. Of his art exhibit he writes, “The paintings are the paintings. Everything else is everything else.”

Peter has been part of the arts scene, both as an observer and a participant, as far back as he can remember. Born and raised in New Jersey, he was introduced to art in preschool when he learned to draw and finger paint. His father often took him to museum exhibits in New York City. He was enthralled by Jackson Pollack’s work and wanted to be as good as him.
