Artist of the Month: Maureen Grandmont
July 2026
Come to the lobby to see Maureen’s current exhibit on pollinators!
From the Artist:
Behind the lens, I slow down and come in close to observe often missed details. Photography allows me to document the unseen and capture moments in time. Composing photographic images has become my way of connecting with the viewer on a soulful level.
If my images speak to you by stirring a memory, by creating a sense of wonder, or just by putting a smile on your face, then I have done my part in capturing a moment in time.
Maureen’s art will be on display in the front lobby for the month of July, with select pieces available for purchase. A portion of sales benefit the library.
