JANUARY SHOW
Reception: Sunday January 14, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Free Event.
Join us for refreshments and meet our featured artists, Renee Habibi and Shelley Lebel.
Renee enjoys the bold vivid color of oil painting, but has also created work in many media including clay and wood sculpture and watercolors. For the past three years, she has been drawing and painting with liquid inks. Her inspiration is nature in its many colors and forms.
Shelley is best known for her mixed media whimsical style and sense of humor. She dabbles in many mediums, techniques and substrates but continues to be drawn to bright colors, bold lines and simple designs.
