Bartleby's Books will be hosting the work of artist Ann Coleman starting Monday, May 28, Memorial Day thru mid July.Most of this local artist's work can be found on Bartleby's newly expanded 2nd floor.Having lost her Gallery to Irene last August, Ann is working thru trying to rebuild in Downtown Wilmington. All good things take time and that is one of the things Ms Coleman feels is the dearest commodities right now.She has been very grateful to all who have shared their hearts, hands and support. Her work strikes a cord particularly with those who have a love for this area. I'm sure you will find one of her pastel scenes that takes you to a place where the beauty of your surroundings and time stand still.
