CRESTVIEW — An art show featuring the the works of Michael D. Frabott is on exhibit throughout February at the Niceville Public Library.
Frabott's abstract and pop art wood sculptures will be on display 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesdays and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays at 206 Partin Drive N.
Frabott, a retired Crestview High School drafting teacher, used to make furniture. But he said he "got tired of making stuff that was just useful, so I decided to get into making artwork because it was enjoyable, relaxing and something to do. 'Everybody's gotta have a hobby!'" he said.
His favorite original pieces include two items: "The wall piece, I enjoyed gathering the stuff for it because that's a lot of found pieces, and the other one (a standalone artwork with a metal chain) was a little challenging to get the design right for it. I enjoyed the challenge of designing them."
The only thing not made of wood for the standalone project was the chain.
Contact Frabott, 689-2199, for more information about his work.
