Art Show Success

An art show at The Village at Legacy Pointe in Waukee showcased ten residents’ work on May 16. More than 90 people came through the exhibit during the two hours it was open.

The artists included:

• Ray Seegers, ceramic tile made in Portugal inspired by his faith
• Betty Lienemann’s, paintings
• Paul Farris, woodworking, a bench and cane
• Anna Marie Wise, cross stitching, Cyclone Power was inspired by her love for the ISU cyclones

• Kenneth Perin, woodworking, his lighthouse is his favorite
