Check out the Friends' new Local Artists display above the ongoing book sale cart! Our first featured artist is Alex Buffone, whose art is a combination of pyrography and watercolor.
Allie draws inspiration for her pieces from travel and nature. She makes many of her own wood canvases and sources wood from various places around Michigan. If you would like to check out more of her work you can find her on Instagram @allie_and_nyx_art.
If you are an artist and would like the opportunity to exhibit your work, stop by the Friends board in the Library foyer for details and an application.
