Programs & Exhibits
Christine Lehto Exhibits at FDL Public Library
 Artist Christine Lehto will exhibit her work in the Langdon Divers Community Gallery from April 30 through May 30. The exhibit will showcase 2-D and 3-D work based on a story Lehto created about Lilly the Ladybug and her friends. The beginnings of Lilly started as a series of watercolor paintings which eventually grew into sculptures. “In my work I try to highlight the wonder and imagination of being a child, seeing things in a world unknown to the real world,” stated Lehto. “In my exhibit one can see how I’ve made veggies fly, a ladybug sit on a flower, and created an inedible cake that people will be tempted to eat. My goal is to make people smile,” added Lehto.
Lehto’s characters are whimsical and young at heart. Families and children are especially encouraged to view the exhibit. Some of Lehto’s work will be for sale. The library receives a percentage of all sales. Gallery hours are Monday through Thursday, 9 am – 8 pm; Friday, 9 am – 6 pm; and Saturday, 9 am – 4 pm. For more information call 929-7080, ext. 141.
