Art lovers, don't forget to stop by the New Westminster Public Library before the end of the month.

Watercolours and photography are on display in two exhibitions.

In the reference department, visitors can check out There is Poetry in Nature, a show by Julia Schoennagel.

A press release notes that Schoennagel is a representational artist whose work reflects her deep spiritual connection with animals and the serenity of nature.

She first excelled in art at a young age, but after life took her in a different direction, she rediscovered art after retirement - through a painting class. She works in watercolour and acrylic.

On the ramp gallery, visitors can enjoy Len Gustafson's photography.

Gustafson was introduced to photography in his early teens by his father, who was a professional photographer. His interest waned over the years, but he rediscovered his passion for the art in 2009 when he purchased a digital camera.

Both exhibitions are on display until June 30.

The art can be viewed at any time during library hours. Pop in to the library, 716 Sixth Ave., to view it.
