Art show

After three decades of introducing kindergarteners to the power of art, artist Leigh Bishop turned the tables to channel her inner artist to create a collection of recent work influenced by pop art and inner reflection. Pairing whimsy with thoughtfulness, her style reminds viewers of the child within us all.

“Little Lessons” will be on display at Ketchup City Creative at 7 p.m. March 28. For more information, visit ketchupcity.com.
