PERRY FEATURED AT SKYPAC

ALYSSA HARVEY, THE DAILY NEWS

A solo exhibition called “Push/Pull” by painter John Perry will open Friday at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center at 601 College St. in conjunction with the Bowling Green Gallery Hop.

An opening reception will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. in the SKyPAC Main Gallery.

Perry first developed as a painter in order to cope with the stress and failure he felt after dropping out of college. Through the encouragement and support of loved ones, he returned to Western Kentucky University, where he received his art degree.

Perry relocated to Nashville, where he set up a studio. A number of his paintings have been featured in Spencer’s Coffeehouse as well as two solo exhibitions in Nashville’s Wedgewood-Houston Arts District.
