Art Walk at the Ukiah Library
Lisa Cesano: Flow of Creative Consciousness
Friday, February 7, 2025 from 5 – 7 PM

The Ukiah Branch Library staff invites the community to join us for Art Walk Ukiah on Friday, February 7, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. Come see the work of local artist Lisa Cesano and her vibrant acrylic on panel artwork. Cesano sees the beauty of all things in nature and utilizes natural elements like raw wood slices and Liquidambar leaves to make her art. Her stylized pouring of various acrylic paint colors onto the canvas creates unique patterns. As the paint dries, this flow of liquid is captured as a moment in time, representing the artist’s own flow of creative consciousness memorialized.

Enjoy live music by Helene Eve, a book sale, and an in-person, all-ages marbling on paper craft program. Shop sweet treats for your Valentine at the Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library bake sale.

This event is free to the public, open to all ages, and sponsored by the Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library and Mendocino County Library.
