Dolores Wright Art Exhibit will be on display at the Poinciana Library through March 17. Dolores Wright was born and raised in North Carolina and moved to Florida in 2019. When the Coronavirus pandemic began and activities were restricted, she began doing Diamond Dots to help pass the time. The hobby began to be so much more than the pictures that were displayed and shows her enthusiasm and talent. Wright selects her subjects based on her understanding of what people can relate to. Dolores Wright hopes you enjoy her work and that it makes you smile.
