Paintings by Sara Grier

Paintings by Sara Grier of Huntington Mills will be on display this September.

Grier has been painting abstract art for about five years. Her art is inspired by the works of psychotherapist and shaman Cristobal Jodorowsky, whose work she has been following from afar. She explained that Jodorowsky’s work has taught her the concept of “working through what’s in your head through art.” Her experience with painting, she said, has given her “a lot for respect for artists who have done this for a long time.” She named her two biggest champions as husband Mike Grier and local artist Bob Husty, who have challenged her to excel in her artwork.

Grier sells selected pieces of her work through the Wyoming Valley Art League, located on Franklin Avenue in Wilkes Barre. She can be contacted about her work at sara.grier@newpaththerapy.com.

Juliet Price, 10, daughter of Terry and Beatrice Price of Sweet Valley, will be showcasing her postcard collection this September.

Juliet has been collecting the postcards for three years. Her collection began as a school project, she explained. “I collected postcards from each state when I was studying the USA. I also have some from other countries,” she said.

Juliet’s collection came to her from people across the country who were willing to mail her a postcard from their various states. “It was exciting to get the postcards,” Juliet said. “I hung them up on the wall! I put a sticker on the state when I got each state. I was excited when I finally collected one from all of the states.”  

Juliet said that her favorite postcard in her collection is one from a friend in Oregon. “My friend Julia sent some from countries in Europe. I like the ones with information about the states,” she said.
