CERULEAN GALLERY

Caroline Crockett Pickton’s Wallpaper Series: Cherry Blossoms 4 is a very pretty piece of art, but I can’t dismiss it as simply decorative. There’s something compelling about it that makes me like to look at it — the color? The Japanese-like way space is used? Because I’m really into wallpaper these days, I like it even more. SMU grad Pickton, who recently opened the Cerulean Gallery in Snider Plaza, will soon open a show with three other artists that’s all about nature, depicted in vivid colors. I’ve seen a preview of some of the other art for the show, and I think you should go. It’ll cheer you up.
