Art In Unexpected Places

Here’s Marie Widmyer’s book wall at the Fort Ground Grill that Kerri Thoreson wrote about in Wednesday’s Main Street column. (Photo: Kerri Thoreson)

In her weekly Main Street column, Kerri Thoreson writes: “At the Fort Ground Grill on Saturday, I was enjoying some of the kitschy decor in the historic Coeur d’Alene tavern. One artistic display was exceptional, featuring books and their pages all along one wall. With origami-like folds giving three-dimensional “life” to the written words, it really moved me. I learned that the exhibit was created by Marie Widmyer and Sally Barlow. Marie told me the project was a bit of whimsy that they hoped wouldn’t be perceived as disrespectful to those who love the literary. As a wordsmith I assured her it was a most appropriate and well-executed celebration of the beauty of books. I love discovering art in the most unexpected places. Thanks Marie and Sally. ” Main Street column here.

Question: Who is someone in this community that few know is a decent artist?
