Artist Carol Collins’ work is on display at Kingston Public Library

September 8, 2023 By Deborah Anderson, Express Staff

Lifelong Kingston resident Carol Collins is preparing for her first-ever art exhibit, with 20 of her paintings, entitled “Eclectic Mix,” to be displayed at the Kingston Public Library from September 7 through the end of the month.
Much of her style includes watercolor, but she also incorporates micron pen into her work, which includes elements of both abstract art and realism. Most of her paintings are based on a picture or photograph.
With abstracts, however, she says, “Sometimes I’ll just start with a line and see where it takes me.”
Her paintings include cityscapes, architecture, and people. Art has always been a part of her life, including taking art elective courses in high school and then two years of private watercolor lessons led by renowned illustrator Polly Bolian.
Ms. Collins has run several businesses over the years. She is the former owner of Mainely Bags, an upscale handbag store which she purchased and grew into a three-location venture. She also ran a locally-based consignment store called The Brick House. These days, she leads several small prayer groups as a Bible study facilitator. She lives in Kingston with her husband Mark; they are parents to daughter Amber and grandparents to Natalie and Bridget.
She added, “I’m thrilled to have been invited to display my artwork at the library, and I hope people will enjoy the exhibit.”
The Kingston Public Library is a community-driven organization, a center for learning, collaboration, creativity, and fun, and an environment for lifelong learning. The library is dedicated to providing the residents of Kingston with cultural enrichment, recreation, and learning opportunities, and supporting the community with practical help in their everyday lives. Its knowledgeable staff willingly and capably provides the assistance needed to ensure each patron’s success, in a place that is comfortable and welcoming. The Kingston Public Library is located at 6 Green St., Kingston. For more information about the library, please call 781-585-0517 or visit https://kingstonma.gov/219/Library/
