Changing exhibitions in the Cape Coral Library’s huge art gallery are sponsored by the Friends of the Cape Coral Library and are designed to afford local artists and artisans the opportunity to share their work in a public forum. The library is located at 921 SW 39th Terrace, off of Mohawk Parkway, and the current exhibit is open for your viewing pleasure during their regular business hours through April 29. The walls of the gallery feature some spectacular photographs by Cape Coral Art League members including photography instructor Carmen Sprague, John McCuen, Linda Kruleski, Carmen Howard, Louise Rhode and digital print painter Tom Whiting. The illuminated display cases in the gallery include forty small paintings by Judith MacLaren representing a wide variety of different subjects. MacLaren is a multi talented and award winning artist who has taught classes for decades in Southwest Florida. Also in the cases are lovely 3-D mini scenes created by Greg and Maui Okon, who have turned their enthusiasm for kit building and miniatures into an artistic activity they both share and enjoy. Each scene allows the viewer to step into a fantasy space that evokes a cozy atmosphere of "being there.” Note: please be sure to click on each image of the art shown here to see a caption naming the artist(s).
