For the month of October, The Gallery at the Glen Rock Public Library welcomes the artwork of Mary Walker-Baptiste and the poetry of Lou Baptiste. This husband-wife team’s “Painted Poetry” exhibition pairs Mary’s visual arts with poetry written by her husband Lou.
Their collaboration of paintings and poems began with their annual Christmas card, starting in 2004. One year Mary would create a painting, and Lou would write a complimentary poem. The next year, Lou would write a poem, and Mary would interpret it in a painting. They hope the viewer enjoys exploring how their pieces actually do have connections.
