Later this winter and spring, from February 16 to March 30, the Elisabeth C. Miller Library will be hosting an art exhibit by Patty Haller, a Seattle oil painter with a studio in nearby Magnuson Park.

Haller enjoys applying visual concepts from art history to Pacific coastal woodland imagery. Her new series, “Forest Sampling,” was inspired by an exercise she did long ago as a forestry student at SEFS (’84, B.S.), where she studied forest ecology with Professor David R. M. Scott. Her work is included in the permanent collections of several area hospitals and the Anacortes Arts Festival organization.

We hope you’ll head over to the library and take a look at her work!
