Catching the Light

Join local artist Lea de Wit for an art walk and talk about the public artworks that she created for Felton and Aptos Libraries, as part of the County of Santa Cruz Percent for Art Public Art Program. Lea is most noted for designing uplifting, inspiring, and hopeful sculptural compositions for several major public, commercial, and private collections worldwide. Her artwork centers around the biophilia hypothesis, the notion that humans possess an innate tendency to seek connection with nature. She has always been completely awestruck by the sheer beauty of the natural world, of color, and of light and strives to translate that beauty into her art.

After a brief discussion about her artwork, kids and adults alike will be invited to participate in a "stained glass" craft project (while supplies last), inspired by their own interpretation of nature, color, and light.

All ages welcome, but children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

While supplies last.
