Westport Book Shop Welcomes Artist Julie Leff

Westport, CT  The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome artist Julie Leff as guest exhibitor for the month of November at the Book Shop’s Drew Friedman Art Place.

Julie is exhibiting four vibrant, photorealistic oil paintings with a floral motif.  "I paint for myself — for my love of color and form — but in a way that invites others to discover the beauty I see in the world,” said Julie.

Julie studied art at Yale University and at the Silvermine Guild of Artists.  Her work has appeared in numerous solo and group shows, most recently at Art/Place in Fairfield.  Julie is a member of the Artists Collective of Westport, WestonArts, and Art/Place.

Julie Leff’s artwork will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through November 30, 2022.  All artwork on display is available for purchase.  Also available are boxes of notecards which contain twelve different images of Julie’s floral oil paintings.
