September 19 – October 23
Main Library, Curt Bessette Art Gallery
Originally from Arizona, artist Nan Burrows has been painting for more than 50 years. A largely self-taught artist, she developed her skills through early instruction from the New York Art Institute and guidance from her father.
Nan’s work reflects inspiration drawn from years of traveling across the country and the landscapes of the American Southwest. Her artwork can be found in collections across the United States and Australia, and she enjoys exploring creative challenges through a variety of painting surfaces and projects.
About the Gallery
The Curt Bessette Art Gallery is located on the first floor of the Main Library. It features work by regional and national artists as well as special, themed exhibits. The gallery gives local artists a chance to display their work for sale.
The namesake of the gallery, Curt Bessette, was a quiet child who spent many hours drawing and creating art of the people and scenes around him. As time passed, his interest in art and talent for various artistic styles only grew until he became known by his peers as the Artist. Mr. Bessette also served on the Boone County Public Library Board of Trustees from July 2016 to February 2017.
