Paintings by Marla French will be on display through March 31 at the Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Ave. W.
French wants her paintings to evoke thought, a memory or an emotion. Born and raised in Seattle, French has had a passion for sketching and painting since childhood. Her love of the Northwest is reflected in her landscape paintings.
“Painting is a very personal journey but I seek to expand beyond my personal view. I love the process of painting. It is both exciting and frustrating,” French said.
