A Celebration of a Beautiful Life
The art world and our region has lost a great one. Darcy Meeker, educator, sculptor, light artist and founder of The Color Project, has passed away.
We miss her and we are taking good care of her husband Jim. When Darcy passed away at the end of October he decided to host a Celebration of a Beautiful Life // Nov 19. His sister Diana, three nieces and dearest friends rallied and the event was the perfect send off befitting a Queen of Art. We laughed, cried, feasted, toasted, made new friends, sought comfort from old friends, created art, missed her there and started a plan of action for Darcy’s 2023 line up.
Everything has changed without her here and nothing has changed without her here.
When I first met Darcy she told me that she would probably have to die to become famous like the rest of them. She took it a step further and told me that she would like to be famous and it was not for the reasons that you would think. I am sprinkling extra all over her body of work and the best and most high profile showings are coming up.
