I am partial to pink: my room, my clothes, myphone. I am constantly surrounded--but what I really want to be surrounded by is the art exhibit at the Belmont Hotel.
"We're All Pink" is the name of the exhibit featuring fantastic art by local artist--Jennifer Morgan. The artwork is shown throughout a cute lounge at the Belmont hotel, surrounding a fireplace and full bar.
DALLASight Down Low: I contacted Jennifer Morgan to gain some insight into her life and art:
Like Picasso, a little dachshund named Fiona runs around Jennifer's studio while she works. Jennifer first introduced the 'We're All Pink' collection in late 2005, the artwork had been "haunting her to get out".
The paintings are latex and acrylic on canvas, all with different gloss finishes (matte, semigloss, high gloss). "The mixings of all the different sheens is so beautiful in a real subtle way" says the local artist. 
Jennifer was inspired by the writings of Henry Beston...the following link will take you to the specific excerpt that inspired these art pieces.
Unlike my love for everything pink, the artwork is colorful and has a deep meaning. Jennifer Morgan is passionate about the connectivity we share with this planet. "Pink is flesh: cut any living thing and it bleeds something. blood. juice. sap. And those are just the things we know about."
The free exhibit lasts until June 2nd, running every day of the week from 9am to 10pm. Jennifer Morgan's art is featured inside the hotel, but sculptures and interesting architecture can be found around the Belmont hotel property.
Don't miss out on the great views that the Belmont has of the Dallas skyline. Grab cocktails at the 'barbelmont' and enjoy this fabulous DALLASight.

Hey, when you told me you went here the other day, I thought the name sounded like something I knew. Ha! This is where Cody and I stayed for our "Honeymoon." It's an awesome hotel, and the bar staff is great! :-)
