View From Above Oil paintings by regional artist, Nancy Wickum, will be featured at the Library in July. Nancy was raised in Midwestern farm country near the banks of the Mississippi River and spent her childhood exploring the creeks, hills, fields and forests surrounding her family farm.

The work cap- tures the reflective quality of light moving over water in contrast to the static nature of land forms. The View From Above can be seen during regular Library hours.
