Darryl Halbrooks
Darry Halbrooks‘ most recent work is the result of experimentation with layering of transparent media: Plexiglas, fiberglass and acrylics. The end result is a translucent, reflective surface with depth and embedded imagery. It has a glasslike appearance without the weight and breakability of glass.
Darryl Halbrooks’ visual art has appeared in exhibitions throughout the US and abroad and is included in many private and corporate collections. His fiction has appeared in numerous literary journals. He is professor emeritus from Eastern Kentucky University where he taught painting, drawing and design from 1972 through 2006.
Westcliffe and the beautiful Wet Mountain Valley has been Darryl’s home away from home for twelve years. It is his preferred place to think and write. While his methodology and abstract subject matter may differ from those of the majority of the Valley’s superb local artists, his contributions add to the choices that visitors to and residents of our beautiful corner of the world may find interesting.
