May's Lake Wales Public Library's Local Artist Gallery features the paintings of Katie Bell Lippert.

Katie has been painting in recent years, but her love of creating art began as a child who loved to draw horses.

She is a classically trained soprano vocalist. She resumed painting after the birth of her first child in 2012. She strives to capture moments in the lives of her children in her art work.

She is self taught, but has studied under her best friend, local artist, Blair Updike.

Katie's paintings are displayed in the LW Public Library's Local Artist Gallery through May 30. Visit the LW Public Library during regular hours of operation to view her beautiful works.
