POCATELLO – The Oboler Library at 色花堂app will present a new art exhibition, “Linda Aman’s Passion for Painting”  from July 5 through the end of September in the library’s first floor art area, whenever the library is open.

Aman is an award-winning artist and art instructor who teaches throughout Idaho, Oregon, Washington and beyond.

She is a member of a number of arts organizations. Her work can be seen in regional and national shows, in corporate settings, galleries and private homes.

鈥淚 create because it is what I do, it is who I am,鈥 Aman said. 鈥淚 create works that interpret a thought or image with emotion, telling a story of the beauty I see, capturing the essence of nature.鈥

Her paintings include glowing, colorful watercolor florals and abstract landforms filled with texture and earthy hues.    

Some of the paintings in this exhibit relate directly to Aman鈥檚 time as artist in residence for Yellowstone National Park in 2018.  She will be giving a free presentation about that experience, titled 鈥淭he Yellowstone Story:  The Essence of Yellowstone through an Artist鈥檚 View; Color, Composition and Conversations of Yellowstone鈥 in the Blackrock Commons of the Oboler Library on Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
