1:00-3:00 p.m. Saturday, May 23, at Aliante Library, 2400 W. Deer Springs Way, North Las Vegas 

Free and open to the public; ages 18+

Join us for an opening reception featuring artwork by local artist, Paola Artistica (Paola Johnson). Expressions of Nature presents textured paintings inspired by animals and their environments. Using layered acrylic and impasto techniques, the works explore a sense of belonging between each animal and its habitat, where realism blends with abstract elements of landscape, light, and movement. The exhibition reflects the harmony, strength, and quiet beauty of the natural world. Artwork will remain on display through July.
