Sohier Room, Main Library

Artist Meet & Greet on Saturday, August 10 at 2 PM. All are welcome.

This month the main library welcomes an exhibit of paintings by Patty Klibansky in collaboration with Traveling GALA. Patty states, “Nature is my preferred subject in painting, whether it is of a human form, an animal, or a landscape. I utilize spontaneous brush strokes to capture the light, and in the process I reconnect with nature. It is my primary objective to inspire a gaze of our surroundings, causing us to pause, inquire, and feel.” Explore her work at thebrushandfig.com or contact the artist at klibanskyp@gmail.com.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours, when community meetings or library programs are not in progress.

The Geometry of Life: Deb Levene Photography
Sohier Room, Main Library
This month the main library welcomes an exhibit of photographs by Deb Levene. She states, “Lines, points, angles, and shapes surround us. The relationships among these visual elements compel me to photograph this geometry of life. I crop peripheral information from my preliminary photo aiming to shift the viewer’s perspective from conventional to thought-provoking.” When she’s not working on her photographs, Deb Levene enjoys much success creating and selling her Levene Designs pottery. Deb is a retired Art Teacher and former Assistant Principal in the Peabody Public Schools. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours, when community meetings or library programs are not in progress.
