Artist Janne LaValle will lead “Find (And Paint) Your Voice: Painting Workshop” Wednesday, June 14, at NBPL as part of our Summer Reading Program. The painting workshop will focus on painting “what you feel.” Participants will reflect on their own thoughts and feelings and learn how these can be expressed on paper. During the workshop, participants will use pens, acrylics, and paper provided by the library. Please register for this event at forms.office.com/r/N64iZtduy8. Janne LaValle is a resident of Lakeside and is known in the art world for her specialty in murals. She recently won the Governor’s Historic Preservation Award for 2014 and the Ben Dixon Award for her mural Lemon Grove. The five-panel mural is an epic 65 feet wide, 18 feet tall, and depicts Lemon Grove’s history starting with the area’s original inhabitants to the city’s beginnings around the turn of the 20th century. Janne has extensive experience teaching and has led drawing and painting workshops in Oregon, San Diego, and the Outer Banks. This program is part of NBPL’s Summer Reading Program.
