“Local galleries are here to help.”
Along with the rise of working from home came a demand for interesting backgrounds, and local galleries are here to provide. Clinton is home to Rochon Fine Art, the studio and gallery of abstract expressionist acrylic painter Louie Rochon. The burst of colors in Louie’s work will immediately transform any room. Museo in Langley stages new shows in their gallery monthly, featuring top local artists known regionally and nationally. They carry sculptures, glasswork, ceramics, jewelry, paintings, and mixed media pieces.
