The Hancock Town Library is temporarily moving its art exhibits to a new virtual platform. The paintings of local artist Danielle O’Hanlon of Bennington are being featured for July.

Self-taught, O’Hanlon’s goal is to create works with which viewers can connect as they contemplate the visual, ideally experiencing a strong emotional reaction. Her paintings are simple in composition and color, yet full of complexities that draw the viewer to stay longer.

Inspired by artists Edvard Munch and Jackson Pollock, O’Hanlon has expanded her technique to include a three-dimensional style of painting that she calls ‘Acrylic Sculpting’.

“Acrylic sculpting brings my work to life in a whole new way; in a sense, the painting reaches into our world, asking to be seen,” she said.

Connect with O’Hanlon to see more of her work at www.DanielleOHanlonArt.com, or DanielleOHanlonArt on Facebook or Instagram.

To view the library’s current exhibit, go to https://hancocktownlibrarynh.wordpress.com/ and look for the ‘Art Exhibit’ tab.
