February Guest Artist at Library

Photographer Connie Stevens of Hannibal, MO is the February Guest Artist at Canton Public Library. A Guest Artist Reception will be held on Thursday, February 6 from 5:30-7:00 at the library, located at 403 Lewis Street in Canton, Missouri. A gallery talk begins at 6:15. The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided by the Canton Area Arts Council.
Graduating from Hannibal LaGrange University and Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman University) in accounting and business, Connie is a self-taught photographer and is continuously learning through on-line classes, books, and lots of practice.
Connie’s photography has been juried in and exhibited at the Oakley/Lindsay Artist Showcase in Quincy, IL., Art St. Louis, and Hagerman Art Gallery at Hannibal LaGrange University. She has also exhibited at John Wood Community College in Quincy, Il and Raintree Art Show in Clarksville, Mo.
Connie takes pictures for her own enjoyment, but also loves the challenge of creating something people will like, and expressing inspiration through flowers, nature and scenery. She especially likes photographing scenes along historic Route 66, Mississippi River region, and the Gulf Coast, as well as colorful Southwest New Mexico.
All are encouraged to visit the library in February to view her art.
