Artwork by Helen Warner, of Newcastle, will be on display at the Bristol Area Library during the month of May.
Warner is inspired by the beauty and color of the natural world and her work tends toward subjects in nature, according to a news release. After a 40-plus year nursing career, retirement offered the opportunity to focus on art. She is primarily self taught but has attended many workshops and classes locally, in Florida and in the Bahamas over the past 15 years.
