My colleague said this local artist was pretty good, so I had to see for myself since art is all subjective and stuff. Turns out she is. Of course, all I have to go on is one semester of art appreciation.

Flora & fauna, works from the pink series, opens Wednesday with a reception at 6 p.m. and hangs until May 2 at the Belmont Hotel, 901 Fort Worth Ave. For more information visit belmontdallas.com or call 214-393-2300.
