October Art Show

Perceptions Gallery Presents “Wilds, Whimsies, and Whatnots” by Becky Sargent

Perceptions Yoga, Mindfulness & Art will welcome artist and educator Becky Sargent for “Wilds, Whimsies, and Whatnots,” an October exhibition celebrating imagination, color, and the wonderfully unexpected.

The exhibition opens with a public reception on Friday, October 2, from 5–7 PM and remains on display throughout October, concluding with a closing reception on Friday, October 30, from 5–7 PM.

Sargent describes the collection as “critters, creatures, and creations as I see them in my imagination,” with many works inspired by her own photography—although inspiration sometimes takes a different path.

“Sometimes it is just what the paint wants to say,” Sargent explains. “Life requires whimsy and color. I try to add as much as possible to my artwork.”

An artist, educator, and community volunteer, Sargent has 27 years of experience teaching elementary art. Her own creative work spans photography, clay, and painting and reflects her passion for tactile and visual storytelling. Outside the studio and classroom, she volunteers weekly with Mercy Rescue and enjoys spending time with her three sons and new daughter-in-law.

As part of the October exhibition, Perceptions will also host a Pumpkin Carving Class on Saturday, October 17, from noon–3 PM. The class is limited to 12 participants.

Community members are invited to attend the opening reception, explore Sargent’s colorful and imaginative work throughout the month, and return for the closing reception on October 30.
