The Gallery at Three Rivers Presents 'Castles Made of Sand'

From Three Rivers Community College:

NORWICH, CT - Three Rivers Community College is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Jacob Cullers, a Three Rivers graduate. “Castles Made of Sand” runs through Friday, December 2; the opening reception will be held Friday, November 4 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Gallery at Three Rivers.

The exhibit is composed of recent work that Cullers completed while getting his graduate degree at the Glasgow School of Art. His works are comprised of both oil on canvas and dust sheet and oil on canvas.

Cullers began painting in earnest after serving in Iraq and credits painting with saving his life after his brother was killed while serving in Afghanistan. “The idea for my work has been an ongoing theme. The only really good thing that came from my brother being killed was that I had painting at the time to express how I felt. It's been years in the making with different themes running through my work. Each work … holds certain emotions and conveys them through the imagery.”

The Gallery at Three Rivers is located on the second floor above the main entrance. It is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. “Castles Made of Sand” will run through Friday, December 2.
