Halloween is just around the corner, but you won’t have to visit a haunted house to get a little creeped out. One of our favorite wine bars is hosting artist Mike Egan’s dark, yet beautiful work. Egan’s artwork, influenced by his experience working in funeral homes, will be on display at Vino Paradiso beginning Oct. 3 (First Wednesday Reception from 7-10 p.m. that night) through Nov. 25.

“I like to take a serious subject like death and mix it up with bright colors so that it is more inviting to the viewer. The color is what draws people in, then they realize that they are looking at a skeleton throwing up blood, I love it.”
