Marisa Mustard has been creating intricate works of art around her hometown of Athens for years. Many have noticed her art from the vibrant mailboxes she paints to the piano for the public art project “Plan On, Athens!” at the Athens Clarke-County Library. Mustard prides herself on creating functional art and adding color to everyday objects, such as guitars, light switches and mirrors. Her style is a mishmash of various themes as she utilizes intense but lighthearted patterns and vibrant colors to express her art. After creating pieces displayed around the city, such as murals at Paloma Park, Flicker Theatre & Bar, Nuçi’s Space and St. Mary’s Hospital, Mustard has her first gallery display at tiny ATH gallery from July 6–9. The theme of her work in this show is a mix between western, nudie suit flowers, folk art and psychedelic monsters on mirrors and large wood cutouts. A closing reception will be held July 9 from 11 a.m.–2 p.m.
