Leela Francis uses acrylic mixed media and collage to inspire a child-like sense of exploration & wonder in discovering the character of each tree in her work. Blessed to journey deeply with trees, Leela has trekked through forests on 5 continents, learning to find and re-find her essential self by bowing to the wisdom and ancient presence of trees.
Shelly Matthews grew up on a lake in rural Indiana surrounded by farmland and rolling hills of green pastures. Living now in North Idaho she sees flowers as God’s gift to give us joy, and paints to adorn our walls with that gift throughout all seasons.
Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the Historic Liberty Building this June to see the beautiful paintings by Leela & Shelly ~ stop by First Friday June 7 from 5-8pm to meet the artists in person!
