Friendswood artist Janie O’Farrell is the Galveston Art League’s Featured Artist for March. Her detailed paintings – many of them executed on salvaged building materials – will hang in the league’s gallery, 2117A Postoffice St. in Galveston, from Feb. 27-March 29.

Gallery hours are noon to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 6-9 p.m. during ArtWalk on March 7.

O’Farrell, who holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from Baylor University, taught drawing, painting, printmaking and sculpture at Glassell Junior School for about 20 years. She also has taught outreach classes at various hospitals and senior centers in Houston. Several Friendswood-area schools and restaurants feature murals that she painted.

She likes using acrylic paints to create images on salvaged ceiling tiles, roof tiles and wood. “The most challenging thing to me about painting is when I paint on reclaimed wood or tin is deciding what to paint,” O’Farrell says. “I have to live with the vintage object awhile until I can envision my subject matter.” Her aim is to capture the essence of a landscape or object in her paintings.

O’Farrell sells through the Galveston Art League Gallery and is a professional member of the league. To find out more about the league and its memberships, please visit www.GalvestonArtLeague.com and click on “Join.”
