Palouse Art Exhibit by Jacqueline Daisley

Neill Public Library is pleased to exhibit oil paintings by local artist Jacqueline Daisley. Daisley’s work is inspired by the vibrant colors of the Palouse region as reflected in her images of old trucks, farm scenes and landscapes. Daisley says, “you paint what you see not what you think you should see.”

Painting is her way of preserving the Palouse. “Once the building is gone, the history is gone. When you paint you are preserving that history of what it used to be like. This is something we really don’t want to lose but we’re going to lose it. If I can preserve the past with a painting, then that’s a good deed.”

In 2012, one of Daisley’s works was selected for the 2012 Lentil Festival poster. This exhibit runs through August 31.
