Janet Morrow used over 250 pounds of sugar to create all over her pieces for the Sweetie Pie Exhibit. Morrow’s art show was inspired by her very own life experiences. She says that despite the fact that sugar tends to have the notion of being fragile it is anything but that. Morrow believes that true strength comes from not allowing our circumstances to change us but rather to make us better as a person. Her exhibit will be showing in Gallery 76102 in Fort Worth, TX.
