CLEVELAND – October 31, 2007 – Mixed media artist Kris Barnes has a love of all things childlike, colorful and fun. Her art evokes memories of days spent with a giant box of crayons and the fearless desire for self-expression. Remember what it's like to be a kid again at her latest show featuring original paintings, collage books, and a new series of Knitwits, Kris's colorful knit and felted fine art dolls. An original piece by Kris's Art Club students from Montessori Children's School in Westlake will also be featured. The show runs November 1-30, 2007, at Lakewood’s bela dubby, an art/coffee house serving up Phoenix brand Fair-Trade roasted coffees, a great selection of microbrews, live music, free WiFi, and the best original art in Cleveland+. Opening reception will be Thursday, November 8 from 6:00 to 9:00pm. For more information about the artist, visit www.krisbarnes.com.
