Curious about local art? We are too!
When it comes to the arts, Nova Scotia is spoiled for talent, and we're pleased to feature local art in many of our Library spaces.
From The Sunroom at Central Library to art displayed in our branches, we want to give local artists space to connect with our community and share their vision.

Art by Deborah Fleming, Susan Lord, and Jan Shilletto
Deborah Fleming
Deborah Fleming is a lifelong artist in stained glass along with watercolour and acrylic painting. Deborah was an art teacher for about forty years and loved every minute of teaching. Most of her painted works are responses to actual sites visited. Her glass work was more conceptual and done as both installed and free-hanging works. Recently, she has developed an interest in detailed architectural studies. Deborah is a member in the Aspotogan Arts and Crafts, opens a new window group. The works on display at TRIO EXHIBITS were chosen because they present aspects of the wonderful trips Deborah has enjoyed.
Susan Lord
Susan Lord is a fibre and mixed media artist from Blandford, Nova Scotia. Susan explores her creativity in many different mediums as her artwork is continually evolving. She will be showing fibre art, paper collage and rust printing in this exhibit
Jan Shilletto
Jan Shilletto lives in Northwest Cove, Nova Scotia, where she paints in and around the community. Jan particularly enjoys the observation process in her art and taking the time to discover her surroundings. She paints or draws a subject that moves her, or tells a story, and tries to interpret this in visual words. She continues to enjoy the energy that results when painters of many styles and levels come together.
