Art by Halle’s Comet Designs on display
Throughout September, the Destin Library showcases Halle Castille’s vibrant and often whimsical work.
Halle is the one-woman show behind Halle’s Comet Designs in Pensacola. Her work is often interdisciplinary, combining different art forms such as 3D printing, painting and sculpture to create new styles.
Her latest work explores the dichotomy between more universal ideas such as good and evil, light and dark, male and female. The latent energy behind these collisions is the driving force behind her art.
Find out more about Halle on her website at Hallescometdesigns.com, or contact Destin Libraries at 850-837-8572 or library@cityofdestin.com.
