The Lakehills Area Library is showcasing the oil paintings of local artist Valarie Moore throughout the month of June at the library, located at 7200 FM 1283 in Lakehills.
The library is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Moore's interest in art began at an early age through pencil drawing during her school years. Her passion for oil painting developed after watching television artist Bob Ross create paintings in 30 minutes, inspiring her to move from drawing to freehand oil painting.
Painting since 1980, Moore has taken oil painting classes but considers herself largely self-taught. Drawing inspiration from her travels and firsthand views of America's natural beauty, she specializes in landscape paintings that capture mountain shadows, waterfalls and other scenic vistas.
Her collection features a variety of subjects, from beaches and mountains to sunsets and nighttime scenes, reflecting her appreciation for the diverse landscapes found across the country.
The public is invited to view the exhibit during regular library hours throughout June at the Lakehills Area Library, 7200 FM 1283.
