WEST LINN – The West Linn Public Library will feature "Moving Water," an art exhibit by Karen Lewis, during the month of April. The exhibit will run March 31 – April 30 in the Library Community Room which is open to the public when not in use, and always open on Sunday from noon – 5:00 p.m.
Lewis got hooked on painting fifteen years ago when her children took art classes. She has studied with local artists and attended workshops taught by nationally-known artists. Although she started out with watercolor, she eventually branched out into oil painting. She paints every day and teaches full-time.
Lewis used to spend her time kayaking, even competing nationally in slalom whitewater races. While raising her children, the family spent a lot of time along rivers, at the beach, and on lakeshores. In creating the pieces for “Moving Water”, she revisited old haunts, spending hours observing water, and this exhibit evokes the movement, color, and energy of water.
