Local artist and illustrator Linda Wells will display her oil and pastel paintings in the library’s meeting room this month. A native Texan, Wells has a deep-rooted passion for art. After serving three years in the Marine Corps, she pursued formal art education at Victoria Junior College and further honed her skills at the Texas Academy of Art in Houston. Linda’s professional career included working as an Art Director at two printing companies and in the graphics department of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Following her retirement, Linda dedicated herself to oil and pastel painting, with a particular focus on plein air techniques. Her primary subjects are nature and animals, reflecting her deep appreciation for the natural world.
All are invited to Linda Wells’ art reception on Saturday, September 7th from 1:30pm to 3pm in the meeting room.
