Artist of the Month: Laura Ann Bete
November 2024
Solar charged, plant powered, and music inspired, Laura enjoys creating works that make her heart sing and soothe her soul. She's inspired by:
Ocean. Nature. Organic gardening to grow veggies, fruits, and herbs. Honeybees and the flowers they love. Community. Time with loved ones. COLOR. Sailing. Reading. Nutrition and wellness. Her tiny cottage in Centerville. All the wonderful programs at Centerville Public Library.
Dabbling in watercolors, acrylics, soft pastels, fabric and thread, book fore-edges, yarn and knitting needles...Laura finds countless ways to express herself! She loves trying new things and considers herself a life-long learner.
This month, Laura is sharing artworks in watercolors and soft pastels, mostly capturing memories and moods of time spent in, on, and near the ocean. Sailing and seagulls are a common thread for this showing.
Laura's work will be on display in the lobby of Centerville Public Library for the month of November.
