The Burien Arts Association is pleased to feature the works of Lezlie Jane at the May-June exhibit at the Burien Arts Galley Wall, located in the Highline Heritage Museum, 819 SW 152nd St.

The Museum is now open Friday – Sunday 1-5 p.m. Masks and social distancing are required.

Lezlie is both a painter and a sculptor. Titled “Rivers, Wind, and Water”, this exhibit features Lezlie’s most recent paintings, inspired by the water views and breezes of the Pacific Northwest.

“I am an inventor at heart. Problem solving ignites my imagination., Lezlie declares. “My

process always includes a bit of adventure and a final discovery. I like my art to inform and surprise me.

“Over the decades I have worked in bronze, concrete, glass, steel, enamel, gold, clay, and most currently paint. I love them all.”

Lezlie lives in West Seattle.
