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.
